Hello fellow forumers I'm looking for people's opinions on golf specific personal trainers based at driving ranges would/does anybody use one and what are your thoughts on the idea and do you think it could work thankyou

Any exercise program should start with someone who applies objective baseline tests.  This can be as simple as toe-touch, shoulder turn, etc.  Without that baseline testing, how do you know if his/her program is helping you?

Someone with FMS or TPI certification is a good place to start.  Of course not all of them are great but you're increasing your chances that a) the trainer isn't a hack, b) the trainer cares enough to take time off for professional development, and c) the trainer will use some objective criteria to evaluate.  Less chance of wasting your time, money, and effort.

Going to either website will allow you to search for qualified people in your area.

Like any other business, there are great, good, mediocre, and terrible trainers.  Don't forget you're the customer and have a right to interview a few to see who will work well with your needs.

Edit: feel welcome to get back to me about your needs and experiences and I can try to help more - decades of work in the business ought to be put to good use to help you out.

    • Day 224: played 18. Got some stuff to work on. Hit some good shots though and made 2 birdies. 
    • I am in the market to buy a new or mint+ used driver. I am a high handicap player that usually uses Regular Flex Men's 10.5 degrees and I golf right handed. I can't shot shape the ball and have trouble always hitting the ball in the center of the face and it usually goes off to the right and out of play. I am trying to hit straight all the time so I can hit more fairways, also on off center shots I would like the ball to be in play so I don't sacrifice strokes all the time. I usually look for forgiveness, distance a little distance lost is ok if I am hitting more fairways then that is what i want, adjustable or non adjustable is fine, price is also a factor around 100 but under 300. I also need help getting the ball in the ball in the air and going higher. Any recommendations or other help when buying a driver are welcome and thanks
