- Evnroll’s new ZERO putters function a novel hosel design that eliminates face rotation, maintaining the Face Ahead in the course of the placing stroke.
- The Evnroll ZERO putters are constructed from stainless-steel and plane aluminum.
- They are going to be accessible late October with a MSRP of $449.
Evnroll simply introduced a brand new line of ZERO putters. Naming them “ZERO” is a bit ironic since there are far more than zero attention-grabbing issues occurring with these new Evnroll putters.
The ZERO line options two totally different mallet designs and one familiar-looking blade. One of many mallets is offered in three totally different anodized end colours. Most significantly, the putters have one of many wildest hosels you’ve ever seen and, for some motive, there are penguins on the headcovers.
That each one looks as if the other of zero to me.
Evnroll had a few causes for naming these putters ZERO. One you could possibly in all probability guess if you’re conversant in Evnroll applied sciences however the different motive for the ZERO title got here as fairly the shock.
ZERO Mishits
All the new ZERO putters function Evnroll’s SweetFace Expertise face milling. Evnroll believes inheritor face grooves will permit golfers to have “ZERO” mishits.
In the case of putter face grooves, Evnroll’s grooves are the very best within the enterprise. Their patented SweetFace groove sample not solely ensures even roll distances throughout the face however the grooves additionally appropriate for dispersion.
You’re, after all, going to mishit putts now and again however the SweetFace grooves flip these misses into makes. Technically, that may make it ZERO miss hits on the scorecard.
ZERO Face Rotation
Anybody conversant in Evnroll skilled ZERO shock once they realized that these putters may have Evnroll face grooves. In distinction, I’d be shocked if you weren’t stunned while you first acquired a take a look at the ZERO hosel design.
No, Guerin Rife didn’t unintentionally put the plumber’s neck in backward. That’s how it’s speculated to look.
Whereas the neck does look unfamiliar, the aim of the neck could be very acquainted within the present putter market. The form and place of the neck produce a putter that has a “toe up” toe hold and a face that doesn’t open and shut in the course of the placing stroke.
Sure, you learn that accurately. The large motive behind Evnroll naming these ZERO is that the face has zero rotation in the course of the placing stroke. The dearth of rotation permits the face to stay sq. to the swing path when you take your stroke. The face is all the time pointing ahead relative to the trail and this could lead to you returning the putter sq. to the ball at impression.
If you’re sq. at impression, your putt will roll away on the meant goal line and hopefully into the outlet.
I’ll come again to the face rotation dialogue in only a bit however first let’s take a look at the Evnroll ZERO putter fashions.

The Evnroll ZERO Z2s is much like Evnroll’s most celebrated mannequin, the ER2. The ZERO Z2s retains the general profile of the ER2 however is a bit shorter heel to toe and wider entrance to again. It’s a wide-body blade, maybe blurring the road between blade and mallet a bit.
Regardless, I consider this would be the gateway ZERO putter within the set for many individuals curious concerning the ZERO design’s performance. Whereas the reverse hosel appears unconventional at tackle, the general look ought to nonetheless be very acquainted to ER2 gamers.
Because the SweetFace grooves are milled instantly into the stainless-steel physique, the impression really feel shall be acquainted as properly to these of you who play pre-Neo Traditional Evnroll fashions.
I’m to see if the brand new V2s can stay as much as the Most Wished Blade pedigree of the ER2. Might the brand new ZERO structure presumably make an excellent putter even higher?

To me, the stainless-steel Evnroll ZERO Z5s appears just like the Evnroll EV5.3 mallet with only a smidgen of blade putter added to the recipe. The general profile is mallet however the entrance finish of the putter has bumper shapes and central alignment parts extra generally present in Evnroll’s blades.
It jogs my memory of the Toulon Alcatraz H1 as properly, with the plain exception being the novel ZERO neck.
One of many strengths of the Z5s is its central alignment scheme. The 2 dots on the highest line assist you to simply middle the putter on the ball. The cavity sight line and the parallel edges of the wings are then used to intention on the goal.
The Z5s has fairly numerous totally different angles and features within the design however by some means all of them work collectively right into a coherent visible system.

In some ways, the Evnroll ZERO Z1 design is a reinterpretation of the earlier Evnroll ERZ mallet. The ERZ and the brand new ZERO Z1 are manufactured from plane aluminum, have comparable four-pointed shapes and a gap in the midst of the top.
From there, although, the designs deviate into different instructions.
The 2023 ERZ had weights in all corners in an effort to enhance MOI. The ZERO Z1’s weights are situated within the entrance corners, with a lot of the rear materials faraway from the underside. Have been it not for the novel hosel, this weight distribution shift could be the massive story because it dramatically shifts the MOI and the way the putter would really feel with a conventional neck.
Nonetheless, the neck will not be conventional. The ahead weighting works with the hosel form and place to remove rotation in the course of the stroke. Like the opposite putters within the ZERO lineup, the face stays forward-facing in the course of the stroke.

The Evnroll ZERO Z1 may even be accessible in purple and blue. The purple end could be very brilliant however not glare-producing even in full solar. The hue appears to shift a bit between purple and raspberry relying upon the lighting.
The purple model of the Z1 comes with a purple model of the Evnroll Neo putter grip.

The blue Envroll ZERO Z1 mallet is a looker. As with the purple end, the blue end is lustrous with out being distractingly reflective. For comparability, the anodized end is way much less reflective than the chrome shaft.
I’d say it’s the flashiest of the three end choices and that’s not a criticism. I’ll provide you with one guess which coloration Z1 was the one which I took to the course.
Sadly, neither the blue or the purple choice is presently accessible for left-handers.

Right here’s a bonus enjoyable reality. You possibly can choose up the ball with all the Evnroll ZERO Z1 fashions.
Play testing the Envroll ZERO fashions
Certainly one of my favourite issues to do is to toss a brand new putter into my bag and instantly apply it to the course. No apply session first. The primary putt on the course is the primary putt with the putter.
It’s not an excellent system for low scores however it’s attention-grabbing to see how putters work underneath strain in comparison with informal apply inexperienced utilization.
This time, I had three new putters within the bag, leading to three totally different placing experiences.
The blue ZERO Z1 led off the spherical. I’m not ashamed to confess I acquired pulled in by the dreamy blue hues of the top. Generally, shiny objects catch my eye.
The milled aluminum Z1 is bed-full-of-kittens comfortable at impression. I really like the texture of milled aluminum mallets and the Z1 didn’t disappoint.
Once I noticed the putter, I wasn’t certain about how the alignment scheme would work. Two lengthy strains and a gap in the midst of the top will not be a typical aiming system. I discovered it to be a bit like utilizing an Odyssey 2-Ball. I might line the outlet within the putter up with my ball, utilizing the lengthy strains to trace the goal line. After a bit of adjustment, it labored very properly.
I did discover that my distance management was a bit off with the Z1. Most of my misses have been on-line however brief. A bit extra apply, or maybe swapping out the weights, might be the answer for this.
The Z2s and Z5s have been similar to one another on the course. My distance management improved with the swap from aluminum to stainless-steel. These two put a bit of extra pop on the ball for me than the aluminum Z1 did.
The ZERO hosel scenario went from distracting to a non-issue after a couple of putts. I believe that having the shaft angled like a traditional putter helps. It could enter the top in an uncommon means however it nonetheless looks as if you might be utilizing a traditional putter.
After a while on the course, the Z5s was the winner for me, in all probability as a result of I’ve performed variety of rounds with a equally formed Toulon Alcatraz this summer time.
The Z2s ought to be a giant vendor for Evnroll. It appears like the favored ER2 and has expertise to make you much more correct. That looks as if “massive vendor” formulation to me.
I do know I mentioned it earlier than, however the different-looking neck is simply not that distracting when you spend a while rolling balls with it. Initially it was odd-looking however it rapidly simply grew to become a non-distracting non-issue.
What’s up with the penguins?
Sure, there are penguins on the underside of the mallet headcovers. Such as you, I had no thought why there could be penguins on a putter cowl.
I dig penguins however I didn’t see the connection.
Evnroll added penguins to the headcover since penguins are recognized to stroll the simplest path to a vacation spot. One leads and the others observe. That implies that all the penguins are Face Ahead, just like the ZERO putters are in the course of the stroke.
The truth that there are 18 species of penguins additionally offers them a numerical relationship to golf.
Ignoring all of that, the addition of the penguins provides a enjoyable ingredient to the headcover and I’m right here for that.
Remaining ideas on the Evnroll ZERO putters
It appears just like the putter story for the approaching season could show to be torque-balanced/zero-rotation/face-forward putters. PXG simply launched their rotation-free Allan putter a couple of weeks again, and now Evnroll has launched a complete line of putters geared towards an analogous design purpose.
The no rotation design goal will not be a brand new factor. Many firms have produced variations of zero-rotation or torque-balanced putters previously. The PING Kushin 4 was a toe-up design. Odyssey tried it with each their BackStryke and Toe Up putters.
Most just lately, L.A.B. Golf’s Lie Angle Balanced putters have taken the design to the subsequent stage of precision and are additionally largely liable for the design gaining reputation with tour gamers and with beginner golfers as properly.
It is sensible from a enterprise perspective that an organization would attempt to seize a few of the momentum from golf’s hottest factor. This new Evnroll ZERO line is their spin on the “lack of spin” design.
Preliminary testing suggests these ought to show aggressive within the corral.

FAQ: Evnroll ZERO Putter Line
As I mentioned, we’re going to see a whole lot of putters with one of these design this 12 months. The design idea does predate L.A.B. Golf however they’re those that acquired the mainstream to concentrate to it. For customers, selections are all the time factor, assuming the alternatives are good.
For instance, do you know that Coke hit the market a few dozen years earlier than Pepsi? Although not the identical recipe, they’re each cola-based sodas. A few of you on the market desire Coke, others Pepsi. So far as the businesses go, there may be loads of shopper cash on the market to make each of them very profitable.
Completely. By rolling the stainless-steel heads and the aluminum heads aspect by aspect, it’s readily obvious how a lot softer the aluminum feels. Softness choice is a type of issues that varies enormously from golfer to golfer. I do know that my distance management improves with a firmer-feeling putter. For different individuals, if it feels too agency, then they are going to discover the placing expertise disagreeable.
I had the identical query after I was excited about altering the weights within the Z1 to assist with distance administration. The reply isn’t any. You possibly can change the weights to suit your swing weight choice and the face will nonetheless keep ahead.
After all they are going to. Evnroll is aware of that these new ZERO putters are a stable design however I don’t assume that they assume that everybody will transfer to this sort of putter. The opposite fashions within the Evnroll household will proceed to be supplied so individuals can select the very best putter for them. That mentioned, if these are massive hits, I might anticipate to see extra ZERO fashions sooner or later. I’d like to see a white EV12 get the ZERO therapy.
