Evnroll ER5 Hatchback Putter

Mallet Putter

The ER5 Hatchback is Evnroll's answer to golfers who want mallet stability without committing to a full face-balanced putter. It carries mid toe hang, which is the middle ground most amateurs actually need. If your putting stroke has a slight arc, which describes the majority of players, this head hangs at the right angle to match how the face naturally opens and closes.

Evnroll built its name on face technology, not marketing. The Sweet Face milling on the ER5 uses grooves that get progressively deeper toward the heel and toe, so a putt struck off-center rolls nearly the same distance as one flushed in the middle. That is the whole point of this putter. You will miss the sweet spot on plenty of putts inside ten feet, and this face is designed to hide those misses instead of punishing them.

The Hatchback shape splits the difference between a compact blade and a full-size mallet. It gives you a real alignment platform and more forgiveness than a heel-toe blade, but it does not sit on the green like a shoebox. For a golfer stepping up from a blade who still wants some feel through the stroke, this is a sensible move rather than a total change of identity.

Design

The head is a mid-mallet with a rear cutout that gives it the hatchback look, and that shape pushes weight to the perimeter to steady the face on off-center hits. The topline carries a single sightline over the alignment aid, so you get a clear reference to square the face without the busy multi-line clutter some mallets use. Mid toe hang comes from where the shaft meets the head, and it means the toe points down at roughly a 45-degree angle when you balance the shaft on your finger. What separates this from a generic mallet is the milled face. The Sweet Face grooves are cut to a specific depth pattern rather than a uniform texture, and the result is a firmer, more consistent roll and a distinct sound at impact. It is not a soft insert feel. You hear and feel the ball come off the face, which some golfers love and others need a few rounds to get used to.

Who It's For

• You have a slight-to-moderate arc in your stroke and a face-balanced mallet always feels like it fights you
• Distance control on short putts is your weak spot and the off-center forgiveness of the Sweet Face milling would save you three-putts
• You want mallet stability but a full-size square mallet looks too big behind the ball
• You prefer a firmer, more audible feel at impact over a soft insert
• You are moving up from a blade and want more forgiveness without abandoning a stroke that has some release in 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 stroke type is the ER5 Hatchback best for?

It is built for a slight to moderate arc stroke. The mid toe hang lets the face open and close naturally through the putt, so if you swing the putter on a gentle inside path rather than straight back and through, this head matches that motion. Strong-arc putters may still want more toe hang, and dead-straight strokes are better served by a face-balanced model.

How is the Sweet Face milling different from a normal putter face?

Most putter faces are milled or textured uniformly across the surface. Evnroll cuts grooves that get deeper as they move toward the heel and toe. The effect is that a putt struck away from center still rolls close to the same distance as a centered strike. On short putts where mishits usually leave you long or short, that translates to tighter distance control.

Does the ER5 Hatchback have alignment help?

Yes. It uses a single sightline running over the top of the head to help you aim the face. It is a clean, minimal setup rather than a multi-line or framing system, so you get a clear reference without visual clutter behind the ball.

Is the ER5 Hatchback a mallet or a mid-mallet?

It sits in the mid-mallet space. The hatchback cutout keeps the head smaller and more compact than a full-size square or fang mallet, but you still get perimeter weighting and more forgiveness than a heel-toe blade. It is a good option if standard mallets look too bulky to you.

What does the ER5 Hatchback feel like at impact?

Firmer and more audible than an insert putter. The milled face produces a solid feel and a distinct sound at contact. Golfers coming off a soft-insert putter often need a round or two to adjust, but many end up preferring the direct feedback because you can feel exactly where on the face you made contact.
