The 1 - through 4-mashies could have been produced for four - mashie, sets, or to provide a player with a second or third mashie. The mashie 5 and 6 were produced for eight - and nine-club numbered sets starting in the mid 1920s. It can be fairly concluded that numbers below the club name indicate it was part of a full set.

First appearing in the late 1800s, the mashie helped facilitate the iron club revolution.

It’s head shape is shorter and deeper than a cleek or iron heads and has more taper from heel to toe, giving it a hatchet-like shape. The mashie was highly valued for approaching shots, from it’s maximum full swing distance, down to the shortest pitch shots. A number of notable players would carry two mashies in their bags. A second mashie could offer the player a different playing characteristic, either filling a gap in loft progression of the set or providing a different trajectory or shot profile.


The lofter-style mashie is a versatile club. It would not be surprising to find players used this club in place of a spade mashie. The low weighting would give a higher trajectory that many players would find desirable. Such clubs would be excellent for chipping and short pitches.
