Cleveland Golf 2012 Mashie Fairway Woods and Hybrids
Here is a introduction to the new Mashie fairway woods and hybrids for 2012 model year. We were at Cleveland golf to get you the inside scoop.
2012 MASHIE FAIRWAY
Longer from any lie, the Cleveland Golf Mashie fairway wood is engineered for distance and versatility. Enhanced Gliderail technology measurably decreases turf drag for more lift and speed at impact, meaning more distance and accuracy from any lie – rough, sand, tee or fairway. Ultralite technology reduces total club weight by over 20 grams for increased head speed and distance with the same swing effort. A premium Miyazaki C. Kua 59 aftermarket graphite shaft, engineered specifically for fairway woods, maximizes swing speed while maintaining incredible accuracy. Also included is a RetroSock headcover, which includes the regal Mashie seal and a stylish black-and-white pom-pon.
GLIDERAIL SOLE DESIGN

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
