- Feel85
- Sound83

Watch
Rated highest for feel and sound; its softest dimension is workability.
You want a forgiving, compact value mallet with a super-soft milled face and repeatable distance control at outstanding value.
You want a full-size high-MOI mallet or the most refined milled feel — a larger mallet or a newer HB Soft suits you better.
Pros
- A forgiving compact mallet with the super-soft milled SOFT face
- Greatly enhanced, repeatable distance control for the price
- Excellent value — a high-MOI mallet that launched the SOFT face
Cons
- A first-generation design, since refined by the HB Soft 2
- A compact mallet — less MOI than a full-size mallet
- Value-grade finish
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongGood — a compact mallet with the milled SOFT face steadies off-centre putts well beyond the Huntington Beach blades.
Distance
ExcellentA highlight — the milled SOFT face greatly enhances distance control for a repeatable, dependable roll, the putter's signature strength.
Workability
ModestA compact mallet offered with a slant neck — it favours a straight roll but releases enough for a mild arc stroke.
Feel
ExcellentA super-soft milled feel — the ball pops off the SOFT face quickly with a lively hint of spring and minimal skid.
Sound
ExcellentA soft, lively note at impact — a milled SOFT face gives a pleasant, springy sound with the ball popping off quickly.
Looks at address
ExcellentA clean, compact mallet — a tidy head with a clear sightline that frames the ball simply at address.
