Mashie Review 2
I made it out to a grass range yesterday! Man it was so much better than hitting off of mats. The courses are still closed around here, but I hope to make it out tomorrow if the course opens up.
I am really falling in love with this club. Don’t tell my driver! When you hit it nice and easy it just seems to rocket off of the face forever. I was averaging about 200 to 210 with it. I did notice I have some trouble shaping shots with it. It just seems so forgiving that when I try to shape a shot it ends up going straight. I think this is a really good thing and somewhat of a frustrating point of it. This helps out covering up mishits when you are trying to hit it straight, but it makes it harder for me to shape shots. I really have to work my swing to get a shot to hook or hard fade for me. I think I would rather have a club that hits the ball straight all of the time rather than ease of shot shaping.
My brother-in-law was with me at the range and had a TM Burner with a stiff shaft. I hit his some to compare with the Mashie and noticed the following. The Mashie has more of a thud sound compared to the “ping” sound of the TM hybrid. It is a lot more forgiving of a club than the TM Burner. I noticed that with the TM you had to have a good swing to get the ball to stay straight. The Mashie you could be a little wild and it would still head straight down the range. If I was in the store I think I would be going home with a Mashie over the TM Burner.
All in all, I really do love this club. I can’t wait to see how it goes on the course tomorrow. I also was struggling with my 3w a lot yesterday. This makes me want to try the 2h version a lot and maybe replace my 3w with it.
