The idea of both range and cage is to loosen you up before a round or work out a kink. If you want to improve your game you need lessons. I’ve often commented to my friends how nice it is to have cages available for free. I feel your complaint is unfounded, but each if us all feel differently about different things. I always tend to look in the bright side.
a cage is barely better than a practice swing. You learn about your swing by evaluating the feel of the ball on the club face (which you get in a cage) AND, flight of the ball, which obviously you do not get in a cage.
