For those who have gone: How was your Golf Tech experience?

The problem I have with the Golf Tec teaching model, from what I understand they compare your swing and positions to pros. This was what a parent of a kid that took lessons at a local golf rec told me, He said the instructor would use positions that pros could obtain and try to teach to that. This kid played on our PGA Jr League team and he had a 3 knuckle grip on his left hand and his right hand was just as strong. I asked him about changing his grip and the dad let me know he took lessons at Golf Tec. YMMV

I don’t think they are beneficial for a single digit handicap. But are good for those that are new to the game or have a double digit handicap.

I did the swing evaluation also. As another poster said their benchmarks are basically the swing positions of professionals. I thought the guy who did my evaluation was knowledgeable and credible. The point of the evaluation is to get you to sign up for one of their lesson plans. I was astonished at the cost of their packages, starting around $2K and going up from there, and couldn't help wondering: who signs up for that? Seems like if you've got that kind of cash, you probably also have access to a private club and a pro who gives lessons. Also, like a lot of these places, a big part of their business model is trying to sell custom fitted clubs at inflated prices. It wasn't a bad experience, I just didn't see the value there for me.

I tried them out years ago. The biggest benefit for me was access to the hitting bays with videos and watching your swing (before simulators became a common thing).

It prob has a lot to do with the coach but I really got nothing out of the lessons. I don’t even think I finished the package I bought as I’d usually leave thinking it was a waste of time. The lessons are only 30 minutes and the coach I had would chit chat about spots most of it. Everytime I’d try to get a swing tip or ask him about what I felt I was struggling with, he just said I had to ‘feel’ it, then would take the club from me and swing a few times while I watched him.

I felt their coaches at the time were just college kids and not actual golf pros.

This was my experience at the Baton Rouge location. Using the hitting bay & being able to review video were a huge help but the actual lessons didn't add much benefit. There was a lot of instruction without articulating what that actually meant.

To be fair…the movements used by professionals are often easier to do and easier on the body than what a 15 handicap hack is trying to do.

I can only speak for Jordan at the br local. He knows what he’s doing. I was looking at comparisons to Tommy Fleetwood presumably because I overswing a bit. I enjoyed it and def felt it was worth it.

In my opinion, golf tech is more interested in booking more lessons than actually trying to get you right. From personal experience and other friends having similar stories, they are going for full swing reconstruction, single plane, data driven. For most that will require hours of lessons and practice.

I prefer a coach who is going fit a lesson for your swing. Minor adjustments like grip, stance, take away, etc. Golf Tech is trying to make your game perfect and that is very unlikely to happen even with tons of investment. The make it seem like you can play like a pro if you just take a million lessons and practice, but they leave out the part that natural skill is a major component.

For those looking to just shave some strokes, I recommend a local pro, they will be much more likely to coach you individually and not process you as a customer.

A 15 handicap could probably lower their handicaps to a 8 if they just improved their short game.

The two things that amateur golfers can do just as well as professional golfers is Chip and Putt. Most can't generate the clubhead speed to bomb the ball 300+ yards. And most don't have the time or talent level to pull off towering iron shots that work toward the most predictable part of the green.Mar 22, 2026
