      GolfWRXstaff needs some training in grammar! “Recently, him and 6 other GolfWRX Members went to TaylorMade HQ” You used the comma correctly ??, but ‘him’ vs ‘he’, really?

    A review in audio, never, print is better plus you don’t have to listen to the fluff.

    Yup, interested in the content, but too busy to listen. If it’s not on the page it’s not on the stage.

      But the written word requires ‘thinking’ by the reader and thinking hurts gearhead’s brainlets. They love to listen because listening is easier and lazier. Also, most gear lovers suffer from ADD and they only relate to their ‘toys’. This website is a gearhead stage!

        Yo Dr Bill
        I have ADHD and it’s far from any suffering. Plus why are you on this website if its made for us “Gearheads” with “ADD” and “who relate to their toys”? As matter of fact people like yourself, w/o ADHD, are more likely going to suffer. Your comments make it sound as if we are plagued. But do you realize the multi billion dollar business golf is and how much of that is spent by “Gear Heads”? You are singling yourself out with these comments and the fact you even stated these shows immaturity and simple jealousy. This sterotyping of others is probably something that you do wveryday to make yourself feel better. Most likely driving people and even loved ones away from you. Keep up the hreat work Dr Bill because its people like you who help make this world so amazing and allows me to live a truly wonderful filled life!

    In our hyper-busy, mod-ago-go, stretch-elastic 97% polyester 3% spandex modern ADD world filled with pointless products and pathetic acronyms, one simply doesn’t have the time to waste with time consuming, painfully linear, aural presentations. Which is why the printed word is still by far the communication mode of preference by the majority of active people who are not addicted to their smart phones.

    If you insist on posting these podcasts, you need to label them as such right up front and create a separate top level menu item for them.

    For you marketing geniuses out there, you simply aren’t “getting the word out” if you don’t take the time to publish it in print. Depending on someone to suffer through your podcast is naive at best.

      But the “printed word” requires thinking and thinking hurts most on these gearhead fora. Just look at the Main Forum and the tiny twitter-sized blurts only expressing immature feeelings!
      Only on this free forum can you get comments that are relevant to the issues. As for the “marketing” podcasts, just let it go because people’s livelihood depends on the commercial message. Golf equipment sales are cratering.

    I hate to be the grammar police but someone actually wrote, “Recently, him and 6 other GolfWRX Members…” Triple bogey, guys.

      What do you expect from juvenile 140 character twitter brainlet gearheads who only tap a keyboard and don’t own or ever use a pencil? Shakespeare?

    If you look carefully at the “twist face” graphic image in their advertising it would have a cupped section when twisted that much… and therefore illegal.
    The actual face is not twisted that much; only a gentle change in face curvature.

      The Twist Face only comes into play for tour players with high speed swings. It’s useless for 99.999% of the remaining golfers.

    Garbage “viral” marketing approach TM takes, as always. When will they learn that their clubs are no different than the other guys, except they cost $100+ more.

      Golf OEMs are in desperate straits! Golf participation is collapsing worldwide. Old decrepit Baby Boomers are giving up. Millennials are too poor for golf living on iPhones playing video games! Green fees and equipment prices are skyrocketing to support the OEMs, retailers and golf courses, all of whom depend on gearheads and the rich. Even Tromp golf courses only cater to the uber-rich and ignore public peons.

    What an aweful podcast. An hour long to hear thoughts? Ridiculous.

      You can easily skip through the podcast garbage to get to the 10 minutes of relevant commentary. Don’t tell me you just sat there listening to the whole thing!

Golf's Perfect Imperfections

GPI: 3,000 years and no change in how we exercise our bodies…until now

Published

on

EMS (Electro Muscle Stimulation) training is a highly effective and time-efficient workout that can benefit people of all ages and fitness levels. It involves using a special suit that delivers electrical impulses to the muscles, causing them to contract and work harder than they would during traditional exercise. The Team at Wisdom in Golf has partnered with the Katalyst team, which has sought to bring EMS training at the leisure of your own home. Their ultimate goal is to help everyone develop with this technology at their own pace.

In a recent podcast, we did, with the CEO & Founder of Katalyst, Bjoern Woltermann, set the tone for what the EMS training is all about and what potential it has for every golfer out there, amateur or professional:

[Minute 02:09] “We’re talking about a new way of working out for the first time in 3000 years. Because for 3000 years, if we think about it, the Olympic Games are still the same, right? We wrestle, and we throw things, and we run, and we lift things. You know, it sure to be a rock, and now it’s a little bit more refined, but at the End of the day, we measure how much we can lift over our head. That’s literally what we measure.” – Bjoern Woltermann, CEO & Founder of Katalyst

This technology has been used for decades in physical therapy and rehabilitation settings but is now gaining popularity as a workout tool. One of the main benefits of EMS training is that it allows people to achieve maximum results in minimal time. A 20-minute EMS session can be equivalent to a two-hour traditional gym workout. This is especially beneficial for busy professionals and those with hectic schedules who struggle to find time for exercise.

Whether you want to lose weight, build muscle, or improve your overall health, EMS can help you achieve your objectives more efficiently than traditional exercise. Another advantage of EMS training is that it can be customized to suit individual needs and fitness goals. Within a month (Mid-March to Late-April) of utilizing the Katalyst Suit, the team at Wisdom in Golf claims to have seen profound gains in their golf swing, improvement with mind and body connection that is enhanced by the suit, and a better sense of well being.

Here is what Shawn said after using it for a month:

[Minute 35:09] “I did notice in the last week and a half I feel stronger over the ball, and I’m feeling more capable, and that’s, that’s a really fun feel to have for your confidence. So then I proceed to go through my practice session […] my beginning clubhead speed lately has been 102mph-104mph, and I can ramp it up to 110mph-112mph clubhead speed, and that’s pretty much where I have been staying. Last year it was at 114mph clubhead speed”, [35:53],” I haven’t been at 117mph clubhead speed since my 40s, I’m 57 years old, so I ramp it up to 114mph, Wow that’s pretty cool!”,[36:52],” Here I am at a 117mph clubhead speed at 57 years old, and I’m thinking I’m the king of the world right now, and then when I had a nice moment of gratitude, and I thought of you guys {Katalyst Team}.” – Shawn Clement

Furthermore, EMS is low impact and can be adapted to suit all fitness levels, making it an excellent option for people of all ages and abilities. It’s also ideal for those with joint or mobility issues, as the electrical stimulation can be used to target specific muscles without putting additional stress on the joints. Overall, EMS training is a highly effective and versatile workout tool that can benefit every demographic. With its time-saving and customizable approach, it’s no wonder why it’s quickly becoming a popular choice for those looking to achieve maximum results in minimal time.

Club Junkie Review: Cobra’s new King Tour irons

Published

on

The Cobra King Tour irons have been proven on the PGA Tour already and will be in bags of better amateur players this year. The previous King Tour MIM irons were very underrated and offered great precision with a solid shape that many players liked. Cobra went away from the Metal Injection Molded construction and went with a five-step forging process for soft and solid feel.

Make sure to check out the full podcast review at the links below and search GolfWRX Radio on every podcast platform.

I was a big fan of the previous Tour MIM irons and played them in rotation throughout the last two years. Out of the box, I was impressed with the more simple and clean look of the badging on the new King Tour. Badging is mostly silver with just small black accents that should appeal to even the pickiest golfers. I didn’t notice the shorter blade length in the new irons but did notice that the leading edge is just slightly more rounded. Topline is thin, but not razor thin, but still has enough there to give you the confidence that you don’t have to hit it on the dead center every shot.

Feel is solid and soft with just a slight click to the thud on well struck shots while mishits are met with a little more sound and vibration to the hands.

These King Tour irons are built to be cannons and place more emphasis on consistent and precise shots. I also felt like the new irons launch easily and maybe a touch higher than some irons in the same category.

My launch monitor showed my 7 iron with an average launch angle of 22 degrees and spin right around 5,800 with a Project X LZ 6.0 stock shaft. Ball speed isn’t the ultimate focus of this iron but it did well with an average around 108mph and the iron was able to keep the speed up well when you didn’t strike the center. You will still see a drop off in speed and distance when you miss the center, but you don’t have to be Navy SEAL sniper accurate on the face to achieve a good shot. Dispersion was very tight, and while there are bigger irons with more forgiveness, this players cavity still allows good playability when you aren’t bringing your A-plus game to the course.

Cobra lists the King Tour as an iron for a Tour level player up to a 7 handicap and I think this iron could see the bags of more golfers than that. I am a 9.4 handicap, and I felt more than comfortable playing this iron even on less than perfect days.
