I think with your SS you fall right in the middle of Regular and Stiff. What do you hit in your driver?

Dmb and hawk, I talked to Dennis today from Blind9 who contacted Cleveland and sounds like they agree, regular flex, haha. I play a regular in everything else now, but have a really high ball flight with little spin, 2800 or less on a driver.
Slated to order tomorrow so I can join the club and get my mashie on, (that just sounds wrong, hehe)

I am finally going to get to Denver in about 1 week and will have a chance to hit the mashie on a moniter and see some numbers and decide which one is going to fit best in my bag.

I have found the other 4 Mashies easier to hit than the M1 but I know others have done just fine with the M1.

Grip n rip
I wouldn't call it hard to hit... it takes a little better swing to get it to perform than the M3 I have, but I'd put it as significantly easier to hit than my 3 wood, with basically the same distance and much better dispersion so its a gamer for me for sure.

Got the M1 and M3 together on the course today. I only hit 2 FIR's but the big thing was they were both with the M1 and I was in play anytime I teed off. I was within a few yards on a couple teeshots I just missed.
Hole #1: Par 4 340 Yards. Tee'd off with the M3 and I topped it, still went a good amount. Left with about 190 to the hole but sitting above my feet. I choked up and l blasted the ball pin high just to the left of the green. Chipped and duffed. Chipped again and two putted. 6 haha. Awesome.
Hole #2: M1 time. My nemesis hole. Its shot 338 par 4. Knocked my M1 straight down the middle. Hit a hill, bounced right but stayed in the FIR and was my first FIR on that stupid hole. As much as I've played I cant hit it. It gets to a point where its so narrow you almost want to just layup before it and cut the hole in half. GPS'd 231. I was feeling it and hit my PW just left but it was sand time and I end up with a 5.
Hole #4: Par 4 that was playing 254 according to my GPS. I hit my M3 unfortunately pushed it and hit it high. 6! lol. My bad on the approach because I had a wonderful angle in. When you mishit, the misses just arent as bad. I don't know how else to put it.
Hole #5: Another short Par 4 playing 290 but its a pretty big dog leg. If you hit anywhere from 200 - 240 you have a 100 yard shot into the green, because it just gives so many angles in, the hole is on the right. I ripped my M1 unfortunately just caught the tree branches I was trying to skim past. The teebox was odd so I had a tough shot to avoid the tree and almost did. Still GPS'd 221. Even hitting a smaller branch. That ballflight just rips through the air. Par!
Hole #6: Par 5 and it plays way under the 564 gps'd, depending what you do with your shots. M1, M1 and GW in. The first M1 I pulled slightly and hit a hill going up then rolled down the carpath a good 20 yards. GPS'd 197 where it was lying. I'm not sure where the ball would've ended up had I not caught a hill and cart path. Hit the M1 into the water hazard over 230 out. Took a drop ended up with a 6. There was roll involved.
Hole #8: Another par 5. 524. Lol, I caught my drive ok but a cartpath gave me another 60 yards at least. Hit my M3 204 and ended up pin high to the right. Ended up with a par. Ugh. I had a semi downhill lie above my feet. That M3 is great from these awkward spots. I don't know 100% if that is because of the way it interacts with the turf but I really have no trouble putting it through the rough stuff. Now I was help up at this point. Hit another off the tee. My drive was not as good but had about 240 left. I hit cart path again haha, which put my drive to 280 ish. Anyway, had 242 left on the GPS. M1, and just right of the green. Right online with the pin again. Another awkward lie above my feet. I had to have got some bounce on the M1 as well, that distance just wasnt in line with what I was seeing.
Hole#9: M1 , kinda topped it a little but GPS 227. set up a great approach. 3 putt. HA
I was inspired by the D11 thread and wrote down some notes to help me remember the shots I hit. THe distance was about what I expected, but of course was hoping for a little more
. The thing is, while my top distance is not as far as my 3w, overall it's definitely more when you take an average (including OOB and mishits).
The M3 is about as versatile a club I've ever had. I have trouble with lies above the feet but I was able to make good contact today. When I had trouble I would just take the M3 and swing. I know what a good swing with that feels like and just based everything else off of it. Imo think this is the most consistant club I've ever had as far as distance on a good shot.

A little off topic but has Gmac got his Mashie going on yet? I saw a pic with some Mashie head covers in his bag just wondering if he has any in his bag this week?

Yoccos -- That was cool reading your play by play with the Mashie . It is a wonderful club and like you said, it just rips through the air like a heat seeking missle!

Thanks Due! I'm sure youll get some great distance with it. It's so much more forgiving than the 3w.
It really does. I searched for you ball initially by the tree and it took a bit to find it. Did not think it would have gone that far!
Thanks man. You guys really brought it in the D11 thread, so definitely owe that idea to you all.

Would love to hear your feedback as I am torn between the Superfast 2.0 and the Mashie. I think the Superfast 2.0 is on sweet looking hybrid. Performance wise I was surprised how easy it was to hit. It is draw bias so it does help produce a draw which I have never been able to hit since I tendency is to hit a fade.
I'm really ill with myself over my attempt at regripping my Mashies last night. They arrived yesterday and I was going to hit them today. I knew from about 20 pages back that there was some conversation on the fact that the shaft butt diameter was a bit bigger and it might be a bit tougher to regrip. Anyway, I cut off the stock grip and start trying to but my WinnLite Midsize on it...I can't even get it started. So I keep fooling with it, and never do get it on.
So I go mack to the interwebs and start doing more research on my options. The 58g C Kua shaft has a 0.650" butt end diameter (where most are 0.580" or 0.600") and there are only a couple of grip options I can see anywhere...both of which are just similar versions to the stock grip.
Anyway, I have two new "stock" grips on the way, and two beautiful, unhit, ungripped Mashies sitting in the corner on a beautiful sunny day. Argh!!
So let this serve as a warning to pay attention to the shaft diameters when you are trying to regrip a club. I believe that all the 58g Mashies, the Cleveland FW and the 270 and 290 drivers have the same diameter which is larger than standard.

Yikes buddy haha. Just to the ungripped Mashies hanging out in the corner. Hopefully they will be there sooner than later my friend!
The torture!! Sorry to hear that man and after reading that I now like the stock grip, a lot lol
