The Sublime Bobcat is a dependably overstable midrange with a similar feel in the hand to a buzzz, but with a slightly smaller diameter. The plastic is like the name says, mine feel similar in hand to the fingerprinty c style plastic. For me it is absolutely perfect! I needed a reliable OS midrange that was workable but that I could also trust in windy conditions as a replacement to my old trusty proline gremlin. The Bobcat can handle the wind very well, like I mean surprisingly well, as well as being great for strait heavily fade and does a really good thrown on flex lines. Handles forehand great too. I highly recommend these or anything Mint for that matter.
