TP Hydroblast Soto

The TP Hydroblast Soto is TaylorMade's take on the Soto head with a hydroblast finish, built on the blade shape that defines the model. TGW describes it as a blade shape with an L-neck hosel, which puts it in the more traditional end of the Soto family rather than the mallet variants that carry the same name elsewhere in TaylorMade's TP catalog.

The record we hold here is thin and comes entirely from one outlet. TGW's listing pairs that L-neck hosel with a reported toe hang of 40°, and files the head under what it calls a classic Soto blade. That same source recommends the putter for a moderate arc putting stroke, which lines up with the toe hang figure it reports, a higher toe hang generally suits players whose stroke arcs rather than travels straight back and through. None of this comes from TaylorMade's own product prose, so it should be read as TGW's characterization of the putter rather than a spec TaylorMade has confirmed.

Within the Soto line, the Hydroblast edition reads as a finish variant on the standard blade rather than a shape departure. What distinguishes it from other Sotos, at least on this record, is the finish itself rather than anything in the geometry, the shape, neck, and stroke fit reported here all track with what you'd expect from a straightforward Soto blade.
