I believe Mike does have another lower lofted (6* Ashton X-1, I believe) but a 348 drive with essentially no roll is quite amazing. Mike has been using Ashton heads for quite a while on the LD circuit, so I would be willing to bet he has tried every head-shaft combo imaginable.

I have the Ashton MS-5 and I consistantly get the ball over 300 yards. My last round I hit driver 5 times and all 5 drives ended up over 300 yards: two about 315, two where right around 320 and one just under 330), but I am not sure of the carry distance. I would guess that I consistantly carry 290 or more but still a LONG way away from 348....
