Mechanics vs. feel

When we try to perform golf mechanics, we try to add something to our swing that is not a natural part of it now. When we work on feel, we start with the swing we have and simply improve it. Doesn’t it make more sense to develop our natural swing than to keep trying things external to it?
There are 29 mechanical things to try in the latest issue of a golf magazine on my desk. Next month there will be another 30 or so. How can our swing ever stabilize if we keep trying new mechanics? On the other hand if we start with the swing we have and sense how to get more power and better direction, we stay with one thing and develop it through experimentation. We need to focus on the swing we have, not on the mechanics we don’t have.
