Golf's Perfect Imperfections
GPI: 3,000 years and no change in how we exercise our bodies…until now
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.

Like the concept, and the interviews from Johnny Wunder, but I do wish the guests were allowed to talk more, or in other words, more questions from the host, with the guest answering, instead of host answering for guest on technical issues.

Can we start hitting up the guests with real questions instead of softball tosses? Mahoney goes into how the proV is great for all handicaps especially high handicaps and compares that to game improvement irons. The biggest difference is you don’t lose 2 to 4 clubs per round like you do a golf ball. Have him explain how losing $15 worth of golf balls per round makes it more enjoyable. It would also be interesting to ask him about durability and explain why buying new balls is worth it when quality used balls are available today at a fraction the price.
The content is great but you guys treat the guests like its your honor to speak to them. When a guest is someone hawking their wares, they should be the ones honored to be on the show to get access to your audience not the other way around.

Good point DP. I get the need to pitch hard and all that, but I suspect that if Titleist were to have a good, hard look at what’s really going on, they’d go all out to design, price and flog a ball that could go toe-to-toe with the Callaway SuperSoft.
The SuperSoft ticks all the boxes for players across most levels:crazy inexpensive,long enough, straight, pretty good green-side,nice off the putter…and a solid sound off the club face.
A year or so back Titleist launched the so called ‘Tour Soft’ – and in my humble opinion it was an absolute turkey. Tried it a few times, and came away with the feeling that it was the product of a bad planning session by all concerned. Very ordinary,bland ball – despite the Big Pitch.

10 minutes into it – can we please talk about the golf ball and not the freakin backstory. I don’t have the time. That made me want to go out and buy more Callaway CS balls.
