TC if they accidentally send you a RH one.....I'll give you my address and will pay for shipping hehe
If they send him a right handed one I'll drive down myself to "test" it

Great write up AHA. You are finding very similar results to what I have been seeing. I absolutely love regular old consumer testing. I think the best part of this entire test was that this club got its hype based solely off of that. It was not hyped by marketing, reviews, or anything else. It has been hyped because 50 golfers got to try it out at the outing (along with every other club on the market) and it was favored by a LARGE margin by many.
Now we are getting to see it put in play by even more people. This is a very telling test of equipment and one that I am really looking forward to following.
The other guys can chime in with their thoughts, but I would recommend listening to the interviews we did with Miyazaki shafts and hearing what they have to say about it. Talking about high end shafts in general and why they are different.
Thanks JB, its probably me being blind, but I cant find it, can you give me a link. I would really like to listen to it
Since it's really windy here today and I'm not going to make it to the range , I thought it would be a good time to introduce the other hybrids that I'm going to be using for comparison purposes this week. I plan on comparing the following 4 hybrids:
1. Cleveland Mashie M3 (20.5*) - Miyazaki C. Kua 59 Series Hybrid Stiff (62g)
2. Mizuno MP CLK (20*) - Mitsubishi Fubuki Stiff (84g)
3. Taylormade Burner Rescue (19*) - Stock Burner REAX Shaft Stiff (60g)
4. Tour Edge Exotics XCG V (18*) - Graphite Design Tour AD Stuff Flex (72g)
Despite the differing lofts, I have used each of these hybrids as a 3 iron replacement in my bag.
Let me know if you have anything specific you'd like me to try with each club for comparison purposes.
Could someone try for a course comparison between the Mashie and the Baffler Rail?
Thanks!

Aha is that a real deal Fubuki in the Mizuno or is it a made for?
great stuff AHA! i like that you are putting the mashie up against the other hybrids you have experience with. sounds like it's knocking them off quite easily. i'm not going to lie, hearing about how high the mashie launches the ball, i'm a little concerned as i'm a fairly high ball hitter anyway. the lightness in the shaft shouldn't be too tough of an adjustment as i think the 2.0's have lighter shafts than i've ever been use to. hopefully, it will work better/be receptive to a smoother, even tempo'd swing.
can you elaborate a little bit more on the "high penetrating" ball flight? i'm assuming that it gradually gets up to it's max height or does it just seem to get up there quickly?
tia AHA, you're doing a great job so far man.
If you check out the original Mashie thread, I have done that comparison. I can summarize here though to make it easier. They sole looks similar, but to me, that is where it ends. The shaft alone makes the Baffler pale in comparison in terms of feel and consistency for me. Nothing wrong with the Baffler at all, its a good hybrid for many, but I found the shaft lacking in comparison by a pretty large margin.
Thanks TC. As for the high launch, so far I'm attributing it to the lighter shaft (which I also think has a softer tip than I'm used to). The ball flight gradually reaches an apex and drops softly from the sky. I described it as penatrating so as not to confuse the flight with a looping flight because the distance and penatration has been excelent.
Hmm I'm really going to have to go try different shafts in the same club to see what differences they make. If only I could make the outing.
