I find that when swinging it is much more difficult to sense the lag. Everything wants to straighten and I feel less control less lag.
Is this a result of swinging versus hitting?

mb, to add to what Yoda mentions - for my own 'swing' there is a MUCH clearer sense of 'heavy' - that outward pull of CF - in fact I think one of the mistakes some people make when learning to 'swing' is to try for too much angle retention

- IMO it is easier to learn swinging via a full sweep release, try to release the club right from the top, to get that clubshaft fully 'straight' with the left arm - and feel that this happens at about hip high coming down - this is the feel of "uncock THEN roll" that a swinger should have. The feel of "throwing the clubhead AWAY from the target" - while there is less clubHEAD lag, there is still LAG PRESSURE - which is what 'heavy' is all about

as they say - What goes around, comes around -

By contrast, a hitter should focus much more on keeping that right wrist bend as long as possible - the "drive" that creates the uncock AND roll of a hitter - the drive of PP1 to the aiming point - a spot on the ground a few feet in front of the ball - to both arms straight.

This is a key difference between hitting, and swinging and is very important to understand - you are coming at the goal, impact, from two nearly opposite extremes.

And if you can balance those extremes......
