Evnroll ER2 MidBlade Putter

Blade Putter

Guerin Rife built Evnroll around one stubborn idea: a putt struck off the toe or heel should finish the same distance as one flushed dead center. The ER2 MidBlade carries that Sweet Face milling into a blade that's a touch beefier than a straight Anser-style head. It's a blade for people who trust their stroke but keep missing putts short from the heel or long from the toe.

The face does the heavy lifting here. Rife mills a pattern of grooves that get progressively deeper toward the perimeter, so a heel strike grabs a little more and a toe strike a little less, and the ball leaves the face at roughly the same speed no matter where you catch it. On a straight blade that technology matters. On the ER2 MidBlade, with slightly more mass spread heel to toe, you also get a bit more forgiveness on line, which is why Rife slots this one between the pure ER1 and the wider mallet shapes.

This is a full toe hang putter, so it wants an arc. If you release the face through impact and your stroke swings inside-to-inside, the ER2 MidBlade fits your hands. Play it straight-back-straight-through and you'll fight it all day.

Design

The head is CNC milled from a single block, and you feel that in the sound and the flatness of the face at address. It's a compact blade with a bit of extra material behind the sweet spot compared to a traditional heel-shafted blade, which nudges the sweet spot toward the center and calms down the twist on mishits. Full toe hang comes from the heel-side hosel and the weight distribution, so the face hangs open and rotates naturally through the stroke. There's no bold sightline or wing-style alignment framing on this one. You line it up off the topline and the shape of the head, which some players prefer because it keeps the eye on the ball instead of a painted line. The milled face gives a firm, quiet click off a firmer ball and a softer thud off a urethane cover, and the roll starts clean without the ball hopping.

Who It's For

• You have an arcing stroke with a real face release and want a putter whose toe hang matches that motion instead of fighting it.
• Your misses tend to be distance control problems from off-center strikes, and the Sweet Face milling is aimed squarely at that.
• You like a blade look at address but want a little more stability than a pure ER1 or a classic Anser blade gives you.
• You aim better without a painted sightline and trust the head shape to square you up.

Technology

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 the difference between the Evnroll ER2 and the ER1?

The ER1 is Evnroll's traditional straight blade. The ER2 MidBlade keeps a blade profile but adds more mass and a slightly wider footprint, which moves the sweet spot toward center and adds forgiveness on off-center hits. Both use the same Sweet Face milling. If you want the most classic blade look go ER1; if you want a blade that's a bit more stable, the ER2 is the pick.

Does the ER2 MidBlade have toe hang, and what stroke does it suit?

It has full toe hang, meaning the toe points nearly straight down when you balance the shaft on your finger. That suits a stroke with a noticeable arc and an active face release. If you have a straight or minimal-arc stroke, a face-balanced or partial-hang model will match you better.

How does Evnroll's Sweet Face technology actually work?

The face is milled with grooves that vary in depth across it, cut deeper toward the heel and toe. On off-center strikes the deeper grooves grip the ball more and correct the energy loss, so a putt hit off the toe or heel rolls close to the same distance as a center strike. It's a distance-control fix more than a directional one.

Does the ER2 MidBlade come with an alignment line?

This model does not use a prominent sightline or alignment wings. You aim it off the topline and the head shape. Some golfers aim better this way because it removes a distraction; if you rely on a line to set your face angle, that's worth knowing before you buy.

What feel and roll should I expect from the ER2 MidBlade?

Milled from a solid block, it gives a firm, quiet impact rather than a soft insert feel. Off a firmer ball it clicks; off a urethane cover it softens up. The milled face and toe hang combination starts the ball rolling quickly with little skid, which helps on faster greens where a hot blade can run out.
