What do you think?

Rick,

Here is what you can learn from Hogan -- trust your swing and concentrate on playing shots. May I repeat that -- trust your swing and concentrate on playing shots (Five Lessons, page 126).

You are 15 and you have a 6 handicap -- you have a good swing. I saw it on the Brian Manzella website. Quit fooling with it. You will ruin yourself by buying all the books and DVD's and reading everything on forums and trying everything that you read. Trust me, you are already way, way ahead of 99% of the people who are on these forums.

Stay with what you have. If you want to learn something new, learn what it is that you aready do. Learn to trust that what you do will continue to work. Then, you can quit playing "golf swing" and start playing golf.

Keep it fun!

Amen to that...I have about 25 golf books which constitute about 25 different swing theories. I started playing at 40, Im 43 now and a about a 13 handicap. I figure if I'd gotten into TGM when I started out I'd be about a 6.

Just work on the swing that got you to a 6, that is a fantastic index!

Not sure i agree with the 'just leave it' philosophy. I would say make sure you know what you are doing with any changes, but there is always room for improvement...ask Tiger!
