Hawk,
Getting back to the Mashie Fairway. If you could only carry one in your bag, would you choose the Mashie fairway over both the FL fairway and the Black fairway ? Let's say that you are concerned with consistency first, and distance second.
Yes. In fact, that's exactly what I'm doing now and in the Morgan Cup.
I don't want to discount the other two, because they both have some great qualities. The 17° FL was the easiest and most consistent 3W I'd hit up to that point. The Mashie is just more consistent for me, especially from the turf. I think it's built to be forgiving starting with the length of the shaft down to the head design.
The thing is, it's not really much shorter for me either. I bet if I hit 10 shots with each and averaged them, they'd be almost identical due to the forgiveness on mis-hits. Add to that the fact I can hit the Mashie from just about anywhere I want and it ended up being an easy choice.
I think it could be different if I was a better ball striker with fairway woods.
