Pro problems

I am having a real problem finding a good pro. I am self taught, have been playing golf for 11 years and played to a 9 handicap last year. Pretty good golf, but a long way from scratch. My problem is that it seems every pro I approach has a set cookie-cutter way of teaching and they don't specifically address my particular swing. All of them pick a small flaw that I may have made in one swing and base my entire $50 1/2 hour lesson on that. I walk away never much better off. I feel I would benefit from an on-course lesson, but I don't get the impression many of the locals do that. I have pros in my area, one of which is on the Top 100 in America, who gets $300 PER HOUR and I have tons ham and eggers at very driving range in the area. I am not saying I am Tiger Woods, but I really feel I need a swing coach at this point;not another pro. I have had enough of 'pros' showing me still 'position' photos of Ben Hogan. It is not helping me. Any suggestions on how to find the right teacher?
