Cleveland Mashie Hybrid with Graphite Shaft The Cleveland Mashie Hybrid with Graphite Shaft was created to bring utility back to the hybrid category. Hybrids were initially introduced to replace long irons, the point being to hit the ball long and straight from any type of lie. The mashie is specifically designed to do just this. The sole features two gliderails and a center keel, which reduce turf drag and stabilize the club through impact. This makes the Mashie the most versatile utility Cleveland Golf has ever produced. Branded with a throw-back name, the Mashies technology and performance isnt traditional at all. Through collaborations with Lamkin grips and Miyazaki Shafts, engineers at Cleveland Golf have removed 30 grams of weight from the club. Just as it does with drivers and fairways, the removal of weight increases clubhead speed, producing more ball speed and more distance. The mashie is longer from any lie.
