Best Evnroll Putters 2024
A brand synonymous with premium looks and performance, we run down the best putters from Evnroll
Guerin Rife is the man behind the creation and success of Evnroll putters, which is no surprise to us given he has been crafting flat sticks for over 25 years. From blades to mallets, our testing has shown the undeniable performance advantage of putters made by the brand. The company always look to push the boundaries when it comes to putter design, especially when creating and implementing different technologies. Over the years these have included Sweet Face Technology, something which the brand has become renowned for.
With a number of models created by Evnroll, they comfortably sit alongside the best putters anywhere on the market and, in this guide, we've set out some of our favorite models from the brand below. The list includes some of the best mallet and best blade putters that money can buy. It's not just Evnroll that excel in the putting department and, if they aren't the clubs for you then why not check out our guides on the best Scotty Cameron putters, best TaylorMade putters and best Ping putters.
The Quick List
The Neo Classic ER2 is yet another premium putter from Evnroll that looks as good as it performs and vice versa, ideal for golfers wanting extra forgiveness and feel from a blade-style shape.
With the EV5 you can choose the visual cues and hosel design that works for you. Along with the excellent stability and feel, it’s one of the most comprehensive options around.
A near flawless putter that imparts a controlled and consistent roll to improve performance from all lengths of putt. The adjustable neck system adds another layer of detail where small gains in face control and timing can make the difference between a good and great round.
To say that there is a lot going on with the Evnroll Zero putter is a bit of an understatement. Evnroll seem to have thrown the putter design kitchen sink at the Zero to create one of the most balanced and forgiving putter designs around.
The Evnroll ER11vx putter is the extended version of the ER11v putter that comprises a large mallet head with additional 303 stainless steel weights in the rear corners of each side. This increases the MOI of the ER11v head further.
The Evnroll ER10 Outback is a cleverly designed putter that makes it very easy to square the face at address and impact and rolls the ball with impressive consistency and accuracy. The large head size is well hidden by the colours and it feels incredibly soft off the face at impact.

Evnroll Neo Classic ER2 Putter

We love the Evnroll Neo Classic ER2 because of the controlled and consistent roll it offers on all lengths of putt. Featuring a polymer aluminum insert, the feel is softer than the previous ER2V which had a metal face, and overall it felt more premium too. The acoustics are marginally less noticeable too.
The two sole weights add to the stability of the head and you can actually customize this element because whilst the standard design comes with two 27.5g weights, you can order weights as low as 12.5g or up to 42.5g.
In terms of looks there isn't a huge change but the hosel is a single bend rather than a short slant neck, which makes the head face balanced rather than having some toe hang. This won’t suit everyone’s stroke and it’s quite a big change from the previous version.

Evnroll EV5 2023 Putter

This year has seen an expansion of the V-Series, within which the flagship model is the EV5 due to its ‘3x3 versatility’. This refers to the fact that it is available in various color combinations via three rear interchangeable chassis designs. There is even a choice of six hosel options too, so every visual preference and stroke type is truly catered for.
The EV5 is undoubtedly one of the most forgiving putters around. Despite being a compact mallet, the head feels more stable than previous Evnroll putters of a similar size and helped by the special grooves on the face, we was able to knock putts often to within gimmie range from long distance and scare the hole frequently from 20 feet and in.
For us, it was the EV5.2 model that performed the best, possibly due to that extra alignment help from the added sightlines, and is the one that we think will have the most universal appeal as one of the best golf putters. It's also the only shape available with the Midlock putting grip which makes implementing the Armlock putting method feel easier.

Evnroll ER2V Putter

The ER2V, which is one of our top favorite models on the market right now. From a visual perspective, this putter really is excellent, with the wide blade shape setting up perfectly and sitting flush to the ground. It's a thick blade design that gives it a very forgiving look and we think this might be a great option for any player looking to transition from one of the best mallet putters to a blade putter.
Overall, the finish oozes sophistication and the long black sightline certainly helps. We also like the two dots at address as well, which helps with setting the correct lie angle.One thing to note is that golf balls, when struck off the face, come off a little slower on the ER2V than most other putters we’ve tested.
This means that if the greens are slightly slower, or you prefer using a putter from off the green, then you may find yourself coming up short initially. However, this is only a minor detail that can be fixed quickly, especially as the consistency of the roll, along with how well this putter sets up, is the standout factor.

Evnroll Zero Putter

The Evnroll Zero Putter has a lot going on, both visually and technically. The putter itself has a very quirky design that moves its weight out to its extremities to help improve its stability and reduce any head twist on any off-center hits. The club features four stainless steel weights in each corner of its sole, and also has a hole in its center, which increases the MOI of the club.
The club also features Evnroll's Sweet Face Design that has variable grooves that create a much more consistent roll, ensuring there is no loss of energy on off-center hits. On impact, the putter feels great and produces a smooth roll on the ball. What's interesting is that the hosel of the putter is placed towards the rear of the club.
This is what Evnroll call their FaceForward balancing, which aims to keep the putting path more consistent. This is a great club for those who need assistance with putter alignment, as it features an excellent alignment tool on its back, which can help improve your focus on the golf ball and hit more accurate putting strokes. Because of this, it features in our most forgiving putters and best putters for high handicappers guide.

Evnroll ER11vx Putter

The extended version of the ER11v putter, the Evnroll ER11vx comprises of a large mallet head with additional 303 stainless steel weights in the rear corners of each side. This therefore increases the MOI further, making it more stable and forgiving on off-center hits. On the green, we found this putter to be a forgiving and very large head for a mallet putter. The thick white alignment line goes the full depth of the crown and draws your eyes to ensure that the putter is pointing where you want the ball to go.
Like all Evnroll putters, there is a choice of hosel options, with the latest addition of a short slant hosel creating 15° of toe hang which, combined with the head that is made from black anodized 6061 aluminum, has one of the highest MOIs on the market.

We end with the ER10 Outback, which is another model that is a few years old but still warrants inclusion on this list. Designed to offer forgiveness, it certainly has a large footprint at address. The black front section is made from aluminum and the silver rear wing is made from stainless steel, which is very clever because your eyes focus on the black parts at address so it looks like a fang design and appears smaller than it actually is.
This design also shifts a lot of the weight back away from the face to improve the stability and forgiveness. Off the face, thanks to Sweet Face Technology, there’s no denying that this is a very consistent and accurate putter that is really soft at impact. We found that it was a lovely feeling and it works brilliantly on fast greens. Overall, the Outback is a cleverly designed putter that makes it very easy to square the face at address and impact and, what's more, it rolls the ball with impressive consistency and accuracy.

How we test putters
When it comes to product testing, our reviews and buyers' guides are built upon a rigorous testing procedure as well as the knowledge and experience of the test team. We test putters outdoors on real greens with premium golf balls to get a thorough understanding of design features, feel, sound and looks. Ultimately, we aim to be as insightful and honest as possible in our reviews so it is important to acknowledge that no manufacturer can buy a good review. To learn more on our methodology, see how Golf Monthly tests products in our guide.
What to consider when buying a putter
What are the factors you need to consider when trying to find arguably the most important club in the bag? Well we have collated several factors for you to think about before purchasing a new putter below.
Head Design
As you have seen above, Evnroll putters come in a traditional blade, mid-mallet or a mallet design. All three styles have positives and negatives to them for every player. As the Zero and ER11vx designs show, mallet putters tend to be much larger than blades and they usually come in various shapes and sizes. This allows designers to redistribute weight around the head for stabilization and balance.
Mallets also tend to have larger sweet spots which helps those inconsistent strikers, and the size of the head usually means there are more alignment tools and aids on the head to help this facet of putting. Blade putters will suit traditionalists more as they have simpler designs and also suit players with an arc in their stroke because of the toe-weighted clubheads.
Feel
Here, we're talking not just about the feel and sound the ball makes coming off the face, but how the putter feels in your hands. Given the technology used in Evnroll putters, we would definitely recommend getting the putters in your hands and hitting some putts with them before purchasing.
Quieter sounds usually mean a softer feel whereas louder putters often are firmer. A firmer feel is often the product of shallow grooves or no grooves at all on the face, where sound can't be dissipated as effectively. They work better with softer feeling golf balls, where as soft-feeling putters work best with firmer golf balls.
Looks
You should get a putter that you like the look of as the aesthetics can play a role in inspiring or diminishing confidence on the greens. Blades won't offer as much alignment assistance, but are still popular because of how they feel and the levels of forgiveness are increasing every year.
Mallet putters are larger, and can therefore provide more help to set the face squarely. Mid mallets are somewhere in the middle, offering a decent level of assistance without looking too cumbersome. As the models above have shown, Evnroll make models with lots of different shapes and sizes so get your hands on them to see how they look behind the ball and even in the bag.
Adjustability
You can get putters with adjustable weights in the sole that will alter the feel of the putter. If your stroke is quite smooth and slow, a heavier putter will encourage that more. Jerky putters may prefer a lighter putter, although opting for more weight may reduce it, depending on what your goals are. The putter grip plays a huge roll in the confidence you feel with a putter. Get one that feels right and sits in your hands comfortably while allowing you to return the putter back to the ball squarely and consistently.
