Does anybody have a recommendation for a mallet (4 mallet playing ) that would be a grade softer than the Malletech Dave Samuels soft DS11
or the Malletech Dave Friedman DF12 which I currently use but I think are no longer made. I tried the Malletech eMotion Series Soft Vibe Rattan
but it was too soft (and heavy). Ordering and trying them out from Steve Weiss is too expensive when you have to pay return shipping ($18!!!!)
I'm open to any make or model. Thanks for your suggestions!

You should try the Malletech JC12 (Jazz Classics). I think they're the same as the former Friedman mallet and they're pretty soft.
i was going to say the same…
