The EV-7 Phi (in Soft plastic) has been my putter of choice for a few years, providing enough tackiness for me to dial the spin carefully and precisely. I use it for most shots within 100', as the combination of a putter's predictability and the soft plastic's grippy finish have allowed me to be more aggressive in my approaches. This premium plastic version has allowed me to extend the putter's use to medium drives on shorter holes (up to 250'?). While I throw anhyzer spin putts with the soft ones, I've been throwing mostly hyzer lines with this premium plastic. With this in the bag, I'll likely not carry anything in 3 or 4 speed--for longer or more shaped shots I'll head to 5-speeds (like a Buzzz) or 7-speeds (FD, Teebird).
