I didn't feel welcomed when I arrived or excited about golf by the time if left in any way. I didn't love being on camera the whole time, especially when the video was not really used for the coaching feedback. The whole experience could have been better with just some minor tweaks. Made me think I should just stick with YouTube to learn the game. Probably better for an intermediate or serious golfer with a mission to improve a specific aspect of their form.

If you're serious about improving your golf game, look no further than Max and Swingworx Golf…read morePerformance. I grew up playing competitive golf in high school and college, but after years away from the game due to back issues, I found myself struggling with bad habits and an inconsistent swing. That's when I came across Max and decided to give Swingworx a shot. From the very first swing analysis session, I knew I was in the right place. Max is incredibly knowledgeable and not just about golf mechanics but also the physics behind the swing. He has a great way of breaking things down in a way that actually makes sense, helping you understand why something is or isn't working. His setup is top-tier: a private, well-equipped studio with cutting-edge technology, video analysis, and clear takeaways after every session. Max also sends over swing videos and key points to work on between sessions, which has been a game-changer for my progress. I'm only halfway through my package and already seeing a dramatic improvement in my ball striking and flight path. For the first time in years, I'm enjoying the game again and looking forward to playing with confidence. If you've ever considered lessons--whether you're a beginner or a seasoned player--this is the place. Max and Swingworx are the real deal. Highly recommend

I did a new student assessment here while I was visiting San Diego and it was awesome. They use the…read moreTrackman to really show you frame by frame what you can do to increase your chances of hitting the ball straighter/farther. Side note: I love the metal targets at each distance, much better than flags. Things I learned: feel vs real. (my head moves back more than I thought, left arm position at impact etc) While the new student assessment isn't really a traditional golf "lesson", there's still a ton of things i learned watching the replays and will take that info back with me to practice. Ideally after this, you would then schedule your next "traditional" golf lessons to improve on the issues discussed. If I still lived in SD, I absolutely would come back for more lessons.

I watched 1,374 (or so it seems) YouTube videos and I still couldn't hit the driver straight, but after my first lesson with Fred, I now get it and got it! Yah more practice is required but I now know how to fix it as the ebb and flow of my skill narrows into solid muscle memory. As for my lovely wife, she went from playing a slicing croquet game to actually hitting golf balls straight and with some distance. She's happy, I'm happy, the folks in the adjoining fairway are happy (Fouuurrr!). Now I'm trying to get my son to take a some lessons. So for you'all, continue playing a frustrating golf game and book some lessons next year, so Fred's not over-book for us this year :)

I've always been around a 12-15 handicap player. Since starting lessons I've seen major improvement in my consistency, ball striking, and overall course management. I'm playing the best golf of my life here at the age of 62. My handicap is lowest it's ever been at an 8...

The ball dispensing machines have new card readers that are a big improvement. They are faster and easier to use. 3. New range balls - so nice! 4. Mats - these are the best that I have ever used! Soft but firm, not like the old hard mats that felt like you were hitting off concrete and damaging your clubs. 5. Island Greens - so nice! These targets are priceless and make the range attractive. 6. Two putting greens - 1 is synthetic - take your pick. 7. A sand bunker practice area with real sand, not dirt! 8. Lighted at night to accommodate anyone's schedule. 9. A Golf Mart is on the premises, how convenient. You can demo clubs on a real range and not a simulator. Plus great customer service! 10. Golf Instruction - Awesome! Take your pick, many options to choose from. In closing, the Carlsbad Golf Center is AWESOME!

Before trying GOLFTEC, I went with a couple of private lessons as a complete newbie and didn't have…read morea brilliant time. The swing evaluation at GolfTEC really clicked with me though; you're provided with instant visual feedback (side view & down the line) and metrics on every swing. I walked out of there with the 3-month/10-lesson plan and it's been great fun! The swing evaulation fee was waived, and you even get a fitting thrown in for free also as part of the plan. That I enjoyed my time there is mainly down to the instructor, Don Luvsan, who's been a fantastic coach! Equal parts creative in his methodology, and patient in his delivery and reinforcement. He's a real asset to the facility and I've greatly appreciated my time under his tutelage. Thanks in no small part to Don, I've got a much more consistent swing, and I know why from all the visual feedback. In fact, I just posted my best score on a round this weekend, and have tons more confidence from any situation because we've walked through all of it during the sessions, and all the feedback and video summaries of my lessons are in the online portal if ever I need a refresher. They've got a great sale (which appears to be annual) through the month of August, so I'd encourage you to give Don a call for a swing evaluation and see if the coaching resonates with you. Mileage may vary, but with the 'Game Plan' i signed up for, you get to practice at the facility 3 times a week outside of your usual lesson. When things were quiet, Don was always happy to poke his head in to check on me and work through some sticking points. All that's left is the fitting. Looking forward to it, and I'll be booking in with Don again after I've developed a few bad habits on the course.

I had been recommended to use the Gear Performance Center to get a great custom fitting, so I was…read morereally hoping that it was going to be worth the 90 mile one way trip down from Redondo Beach. It was everything I could ask for and more. I worked with Peter Campbell for my fitting. He was hugely knowledgeable, personable and patient. Peter wanted to know everything about my game so that he could get a clear understanding of my game and the kind of equipment that would suit my swing. The technology used to analyze each swing is state of the art and really helps to create a full picture of your swing tendencies to determine the kind of set up you'll fit best into. I love the fact that you can take the clubs onto a real driving range so that you can actually get a feel for hitting off of grass and watching each ball flight. That made all the difference, as it's tough to trust a computer sometimes :) Peter was diligent in watching each swing, ball flight and result and kept making adjustments until we found the perfect fit. The entire fitting took over 2 hours. By that time we'd gone through every combination of head and shaft and even worked on some swing thoughts to help with consistency. If you're serious about golf and want to give yourself the best opportunity to play your best (besides getting lessons) this is the only way to go! I went for the Callaway EPIC SubZero Driver. 9 degree loft with a Mitsubishi Diamana X-stiff shaft. It's as good as it gets! I feel so confident over the ball and am really looking forward to booming drives now!!! Thank you Peter for an absolutely EPIC afternoon of club fitting.

The technology is totally impressive, from the typical Virtual hitting metrics to the 3D mapping of your swing path, to the roll of your golf ball during putting! I am a long time TaylorMade user so I was excited to try out the new SiM2 woods and irons. Ben expertly fitted me with a 1/2" longer shaft as I am 6'3" and getting older, appreciate proper spine position more than ever. He also hooked me up with a driving iron for the 4 and 3 iron as I am not a fan of utility clubs and those babies were sweet. Getting the ball up with my fairway 3wood has been a challenge so we went with a 1.5% increase in loft to really make this easy. Finally, I went with the new Spider putter with 45 degree beveled ridges on the face, great feel. Ben was great to work with. It was the fastest 3.5 hrs of my life. Can't wait to get these new clubs on the course. Ben, IOU, thanks pal!
