I should point out the only 86 Softies I have and use are the first run. They were not as deep as all runs after that and they are a bit more stiff. Not Roc stiff but relative to all the other 86 Softies after the first run, they're stiff(er).
I didn't like how deep and cushy/soft the later runs were. I got a stack of the 1st runs from the 88 Worlds and still have about 9 left.
I have never lost one, I don't drive with them but they are sweet for a short controlled approach.
I found a brand new one last year from a local and grabbed it. I put it in my bag and turns out I didn't like it. I had to get one of my old beat to hell 86 and put it back in my bag.
I left them at home one day this past summer when I went out to play golf, it was like not having my security blanket. It really messed up my game that day.
My point is my opinion on the 86 Softies is completely bias. I can't play without one in my bag.
