Evnroll ER1V Blade Putter

Blade Putter

The Evnroll ER1V Blade is a 2025 take on the shape every putter company eventually builds: a compact, Anser-style blade with a single bend shaft and a clean topline. What sets Evnroll apart is what's milled into the face. Guerin Rife's Sweet Face Technology cuts a series of grooves that change in depth and spacing from the center out to the heel and toe, so a putt struck off-center leaves the face at nearly the same speed as one struck flush. On the greens that's the whole game. Most missed putts die short or run long because of speed, not line, and a face that protects your distance on mishits is where the strokes come back.

This is a player's blade, and it looks the part. Small footprint, soft radiused edges, and no alignment aid on the topline. You aim it with the shaft and the leading edge the way you would an old Bullseye or an early Anser, which is exactly what the golfers who reach for a blade tend to want. There's nothing on the crown to distract you and nothing pretending to make aiming easier than it is.

The detail to check before you buy is the full toe hang. Balance the shaft across your finger and the toe drops straight down toward the floor. That means the face opens and closes a lot through the stroke, so the ER1V fits a player with a strong, pronounced arc. If your stroke is straight back and straight through, this putter will fight you. Match it to an arc and it releases right in time with your hands.

Design

The face is the reason to buy this putter. Evnroll's Sweet Face grooves are milled so ball speed stays consistent across a wide part of the face, which tightens distance control on the strikes you don't catch perfectly. Rife has shown mishits from this pattern finishing within inches of a centered strike, and on lag putts and knee-knockers that consistency is what keeps you out of three-putt territory. The blade body is milled from a single billet with a soft, muted feel off the face and a click that stays quiet at contact. The full toe hang is a fitting decision, not a styling one. It pairs the compact head with a face that releases hard through impact, so a player with a strong arc gets a putter that closes in sync with the stroke instead of lagging behind it. The tradeoff of a blade this size is forgiveness on the very worst strikes, but Sweet Face Technology claws a lot of that back without adding a mallet's footprint. There's no alignment line, so you're trusting your eye and the shape at address. For golfers who aim well and want to feel the putt in their hands, that's a feature, not a gap.

Who It's For

• Players with a strong, pronounced arc stroke, since the full toe hang matches a face that opens and closes heavily through impact.
• Golfers who lose putts to speed rather than line and want a face that holds distance on heel and toe strikes.
• Anyone who prefers to aim with the shaft and leading edge and finds alignment lines distracting.
• Feel players moving off a mallet who want a compact, milled blade without giving up much forgiveness.
• Golfers who like the classic Anser blade shape but want current face technology behind it.

About Evnroll

Evnroll's patented Sweetface Technology uses variable-width grooves to progressively increase friction toward the edges, gently guiding off-center hits back toward the target line.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sweet Face Technology on the Evnroll ER1V?

It's a milled groove pattern that varies in depth and spacing from the center of the face out to the heel and toe. The grooves are cut so a putt struck off-center comes off the face at close to the same speed as a centered strike, which keeps your distance control tight on the misses. Since most missed putts are missed on speed and not line, that's where the technology actually saves you strokes.

Is the ER1V Blade right for my putting stroke?

It depends on your arc. This head has full toe hang, which suits a strong, pronounced arc stroke where the face opens well on the way back and closes hard through the ball. If your stroke is straight back and straight through, a face-balanced putter fits you better. The quick test is to balance the shaft across your finger. If the toe drops straight down toward the floor, it's a full toe hang putter built for an arc.

Does the Evnroll ER1V have an alignment aid?

No. The topline is clean, with no line or dot to guide your aim. You set up to it using the shaft and the leading edge, the way players have aimed blades for decades. Golfers who reach for a compact blade usually aim well and find alignment marks distracting, so the bare topline is a deliberate choice rather than a missing feature.

How forgiving is a blade this small?

Less forgiving than a mallet on the very worst strikes, since the head is compact and the weight isn't pushed out to the corners for high MOI. But Sweet Face Technology narrows the gap. The variable-groove face keeps ball speed consistent across the hitting area, so heel and toe strikes hold their distance better than they would on a plain milled or insert face. You get most of the speed protection without a mallet's footprint.

How does the ER1V feel and sound at impact?

Soft and quiet. It's milled from a single billet, and the face gives a muted, solid feel with a low, dull click rather than a sharp crack. That feedback lets you sense where you struck it on the face, which is part of why feel players gravitate to a milled blade like this. If you want a firmer, clickier response, an insert putter is a different animal.
