Ball Position With Irons

I practiced on the range today keeping my ball centered for all iron shots and was pleased with the results. Lately my irons have become hit or miss so its something I need to focus on to get more consistent.
 
On normal shots where I'm not trying to flight the ball low or high, I play the longer irons forward and progressively move it back through the set.
 
I was at the range last night and tried to move my ball more in the middle of my stance and it was awful. Without major swing changes I wont be able to succeed with it. I'm going to keep my ball more forward just not quite as forward as I have been playing it.
 
Quick question, will playing my wedges with the ball back of center reduce my wedge distances?

I am going to start experimenting with my wedges played back of center to work on better consistent contact (directional accuracy), lowering my ball flight (directional accuracy) and creating the kind of check up spin I desire (holding greens better).
