Before asking that question, you should ask this one: How do I get distance?
The answer is simple: Speed. More specifically, clubhead speed. So, if to get distance you need clubhead speed, to get more distance you need more clubhead speed.
That's not the whole story, however.
In your case, I would consider focusing on accuracy instead of distance. Distance will come naturally when you can achieve accuracy consistently.
For accuracy, focus on precise impact. An offset impact will produce less accuracy. It will also produce less distance simply because it will transfer less momentum to the ball. Proper impact will produce greater accuracy as well as more distance. It's as simple as that.
If you don't believe me, try this. Use a 7 iron, strike the ball. Observe how much you can feel the impact and compare with the resulting ball flight. If you can feel the impact, you are wasting power because of an offset impact. The wasted power is power used to twist the club instead of transmitting it to the ball, that's why you can feel it. If you can't feel the impact, you are wasting nothing and transmitting all the power to the ball.
Better to produce 75% power and to transmit 100% of it than to produce 100% power and to transmit only 50% of it.

I forgot to add. It is much easier to feel the impact with a forged blade iron than with a perimeter weighted iron. Because of that fact, you learn more quickly using forged blade irons.
