Hmm, tried the Mashie vs VR Pro again, and I have had my mind set on the Mashie for awhile. The VR pro continues to be longer and straighter than the Mashie. I may have to go that route.

I tried the 20.5 Mashie vs the #3 21* VR pro. Both with stiff stock shafts.Can I ask which VR Pro vs which Mashie?
I tested both of these head to head for both distance and dispersion and had very different results with most of our testers.

And the 21* was going longer than the 20.5*? Do you think that perhaps one of the shafts fit you better?
I'm sure that is what it really comes down to. I would argue that is the case with most clubs. The project x 6.0 was the one on the VR pro. I hit 10 balls with the VR pro. From the center line on the screen I was no more than 7 yArds at the furthest, both left and right.
Was this off mats? That might explain things a little bit too. Glide rails usually suffer on mats just a tiny bit on distance and catching things a couple of MM thin.

Hands down my VR pro out distanced the Cleveland. It was also a hell of alot more accurate (for me) as well. If your looking for a hybrid that is more blade/iron like, the VR is hard to beat. The mashie is more along the lines of a wood/hybrid, which may work best for others.

Yes, off matS
Minarets I can tell you from my own experience that I couldn't hit the Mashie off mats. I'm not trying to sell you on the Mashie but once I got off the mats and onto real grass the Mashie just came alive. It's the only club I have any problems hitting off of mats and I think the glide rails are the reason.
I just dont see it that way (FW wood look).
And I am still a little surprised that a 21* hybrid "hands down outdistanced" a 20.5* hybrid. Im assuming this was of the mats right?
The VR Pro is one of the smallest hybrids I've ever seen, maybe that's why I think the Cleveland looks more FW like. I was hitting 18 vs 18. The mats didn't bother me at all, I wasn't hitting anything thin, the Cleveland was going left more times than not. Could be the shaft, could be the offset, who knows. But for me the Nike much better on both distance and accuracy.
I don't think a hybrid will ever be confused with a blade/iron. If anything the Mashie may look like one due to its retro finish. Hands down is a pretty strong statement....to me that sounds like it's at least 5-10 yds longer and more accurate. Over 50 testers who hit this last year at the THP Outing and others who did comparisons similar to this haven't seen these kind of results either so I'm glad the VR Pro is working well for you!
Like I said, for me the VR was hands down better. For me the Cleveland had a propensity to go left, the VR did not. BTW...I said the VR was more blade like, not the Cleveland.
One has rails and one does not. It can affect hitting off mats. Glad you found your hybrid though. The shafts just dont match up for me.
Feel free to just ignore me if this as been discussed alread - I'm sure I'l lfind it eventually sifting through the 180+ pages of the comments later. Does anyone have a comparison between the Mashie and the Clevelend DST Launcher hybrids from last year?
My grips are at the house, so I'll get those on tonight...maybe tomorrow I can FINALLY GET MY MASHIE ON!!
Site owner/operator JB played the DST last year and made the switch. I hit the DST too and while it was good I think the Mashie all that much better. For one the shaft is a huge upgrade. Not saying the shaft in the DST is all that bad but the Miyazaki is that good. I find it more forgiving then the DST and easier to hit too.
see post #2623 in this thread from OEM Kevin.....
