I don't think I've ever spent as much time in the fairway with this club. Does it set your swing in a rhythm at all? I like it for setting up a good second shot.
Hopefully you get to try the M1. I'd walk it over but the whole cross country thing is a concern.
You know I think thats a very good observation. The Mashie is good for the swing as it really rewards a good smooth tempo and rhythm. There is no reason to try and kill the ball as the head/shaft combo does all the work for you. Its cool dude, gas prices are going up too so Id advise against driving across country lol, but the M1 will be mine. I can teeing off with that more then anything else in my bag.
