I dont know any junior who ive spoken to who works harder on there golf as I do, but ive got to a point where im not improveing. Its because I havent got a coach and I dont know what to work on next, ive hit a brick wall and I dont know where to go next. I cant afford top coaches, ive got good equipment but my irons x18 irons where custom fitted a year ago and now i am 16 and grown about 3 inches since then and this is bound to effect my golf game!
Any advice on where to go next? If I just keep playing like I am im just going to be hitting my head agaisnt this brick wall and im not going to get anywhere. Like Jim said in my other thread I started on golf machine basics I have been on LOTS of golf forums, I do enjoy learning about the swing and stuff and yes my head is full of alot of swing techniques and i am starting to try and put them into my game by myself and its messing my game up.
Suppose thats what I will have to do! Not the bestest driver of the golf ball but my irons are pretty good, if I cant get a coach im going to have to get my short game so so good that it can make me shoot under par!

Your short game needs to be "off the charts" even if you do get a coach! There is an academy near here that has one of the finest junior programs in the area with kids that have gone on to do great things in AJGA events, college and profesionally. The emphasis they place on short game work there is hard to imagine (especially for those of us that prefer to work on the full swing). I assure you they know what they're doing.
You understand the hinges so you're well on your way. I can still see John Reigger using a basic motion and absolutely creating a pile of balls about 30 yards out. Yoda does the same thing in his video out of the bunker (Lynn of Arabia). Those basic and acquired motions CAN be understood thru the use of the book and this website.
