Jesus you're right 😂 I'm so used to mates starting a conversation that way, it never occurred to me that it's a bit of a northern English colloquialism. Good old shielsy flying the flag eh!
Been watching your videos for a while now. Lifetime golfer, scratch, now about 14 handicap at 72 with two replaced knees and five brackets in my lower back. Love the simplicity you bring. Keeping it simple but effective for all! Would love to see more ball testing, since Jack Nicklaus once said the greatest advancements have been ball related. Mainly which balls fit different swing speeds! Thanks for everything!
I recently went putter shopping, not knowing anything about any of the current brands or products out there. I tried putter after putter and hit LOTS of balls, letting the data and feel guide my selections and I just kept coming back to the Evnroll Zero. I'm a tall guy and it just feels SO stable through the whole stroke. Only played a couple rounds with it but I feel so much more confident on the putting surface. Hope it lasts!
As a new-ish follower of Rick and his videos, he just seems like a genuine person with honest opinions about new technology and the what’s what of current golf.. pretty awesome to have a guy like him represent a growing sport in such a positive way
Would love to see Rick take an amateur golfer out on 18 holes and show how he implements his coaching tips. Could turn it into two videos; a before and after.
I would love to do that. I’ve only had one lesson and have played 6 full 18 hole games. My last game I hit a 49 on the first 9. I used to hate golf but now I really enjoy it. I want to get good. I’m 23 I think I have some time still.
I love how Rick always gives honest reviews on everything. I wonder if the putter might improve someone's short game after getting used to the unusual shape.
Thinking the exact same thing. Am curious to know if this is actually lie angle balanced or not, I'm thinking not since the shaft is at least a single bend.
Evnroll doing their best to imitate DF/LAB all the way down to the Press Grip and the face grooves. DF/LAB technology is trendsetting and imitation is the highest form of flattery.
@@caseypearce9078 L.A.B. has a patent for the lie angle balance technology. Evnroll may have the shaft in the center of mass or something for some kind of work-around depending on the language of the patent
@@EdReed20DB Sounds about right. Guess that's why they say it "virtually" locks the putter face to the target line, whereas LAB putters actually do it.
You motivated me to go onto my first round 8 years after getting my handicap and I could use so much of your tips, I’m really thankful! I’m a little nerdy, so maybe this putter fits to me quite well and can help me ;) Keep the work up, Rick!
No amount of technology can improve your feel, your ability to read greens, or your mindset about putting. It just seems like all the efforts to lean more on technology to improve your putting is like the search for the Holy Grail. Great review Rick.
Rick gotta say, your videos are some of the best golf content channels around! Love you enthusiasm and you knowledge of the game! Keep up the great work! Also here to try and get that crazy putter!!

Although it does look insanely crazy at first. But it kinda grows on you. I really fancy trying it out now. Btw Rick always first in those cool reviews. Love it.
For someone that is still learning the game, all the “technology” that this putter has to offer, I definitely need the “assistance”. As always, thank you for your videos. I do pay attention and it has helped me tremendously. Thanks.
Hey Rick love the vids! Heard that you came to my hometown golf club in Bala, Wales was wondering how you found it diffrent to other courses you have been to with the some of the holes unseeable from the fairways etc. Keep up the good work!
I always watch you’re videos. I kept splicing the ball so I looked at you’re driver episode. Literally the next day I stopped hitting them right and I’ve been hitting bombs down the fairway. I still get +2 on almost all 18. Improving every time I go is why I fell in love with golfing. Thanks Rick!!
I thought the same thing. Currently using the mezz proto and its the best putter ive ever used, but i also gamed the DF2.1 as well. The tech is good, so id imagine it would work well in an even roll, but im still obsessed with my mezz
I came here to say this. My Mezz is on the way, sprung for the A Mezz Corner special edition. Using an Edel right now. I think Edel and LAB have absolutely schooled every club manufacturer. I basically never 3 putt anymore.
@@benwintermute2804 2 years ago I thought someone ought to do the LAB thing with the SIK face with the Evenroll goofy-necked shaft. The perfect putter.
@@AustinLindstrom toss a stability shaft on it while you're at it. Cobra kind of dipped their toe with the Sik face on their putter. Parents become an issue real quick. LAB has patents on lie angle balance for some time. When they expire, we are going to see a lot of rip offs just like how everybody has a spider type putter now
Struggling with my putting recently, watched your videos and masterclass putting. I think this putter would help me big time, and my confidence at addressing the ball on crucial putts.
My wife lost my heavy putter on my last Birthday, when she was regripping my irons. Somehow it walked, and I loved that thing. Thanks for considering me, good video as always.
Love evnroll putters. I think the proving if those technologies work was evident on your previous evenroll videos and this one. The weight distribution and the grooves give you great forgiveness and consistent rolls from the putter regardless of where you hit it. Obviously bad putting cannot be remedied through gear, but at least the gear gives you consistent feel/distance.
Love the videos. With your love of Evnroll, I was curious to hear what you thought of the “zero alignment” because of what you were working on after your putting coaching session and using the 2- ball recently. Great video as always!
Have a Harvey Penick "Take Dead Aim" mallet putter from the late 80s and to this day, it's the best feeling putter I've ever used. It was $5 from a garage sale and it's paid for itself in spades.
I own an evnroll. Best ouster I've had . Had it 5 years now and it's the best club in my bag. Going to need a new one soon as the face is getting marked up. The tech in the grooves is proven and it works . Most other manufacturers copied this almost straight away in different forms after Guerin Rife realised how to control the ball speed on an off centre hit.
It doesnt make it a bad putter because its not interested bags of hundreds of pros. Most tour players are contracted to play a certain make of putter. Or they are offered a wad of money to endorse a brand. Evnroll don't have the budget to splash the cash on tour endorsements or the huge amount on marketing. There are over 20 pga and lpga pros using them .
Rick does a fantastic job of balancing the advanced scientific developments with the importance of “feel” about as well as you can via video. Well done as always mate
Always appreciate your honest assessment of products. I do agree that there is a lot going on with the Zero putter and you'd have to do a significant amount of practice with it to be able to get in the automatic mode with the putter.
I’m extremely new to golf, thanks to my father-in-law, but I’m absolutely addicted. I’ve already played a few rounds of 18 with some hand me down clubs over the last few weeks. I just bought my very own set after seeing some of your other videos. I ended up settling for a $400 package and this would be a serious upgrade to the bag!
Great season coming our way! It feels like a special year! Could be the open. Could be this years tech. Could be the work put in over the off season!! Can’t wait to be here for the uploads! However! Imagine a round with Rick this year! Now that would be special
Last summer I bought a Evnroll ER 5 Hatchback putter with a gravity grip. As a visually impaired golfer, I find that grip helps me in 2 way. the weight in the bottom of the grip helps insure that the head is sitting properly on th egroudd. Secondly the grip has fat sides allowing me to point mu right palm at the hole when setting up and has it point at the hole at impact. Perfect? No, but very helpful, lag putts stop much closer to the hole.
Been watching Rick long enough to know he likes Evnroll. First one I can recall you not being a fan of from them. I'll stick with my ER5. Took me a while to come around to a mallet putter, but I love it! I'm not an expert with the grips, but I can say the Gravity Grip feels fantastic. Not for everyone, but it's definitely right for me.
I've always wanted to see a semi-bladed mallet putter with a face forward shaft design, a gravity grip, and that could be used as an armlock putter. Being able to pick up balls with it is just icing on the black-anodized milled-faced cake.
I believe the latest best technology for putters is Ping’s adjustable grip from 36-32”. I have always just used a standard 35” length putter. This past December, I brought a Ping Heppler Fetch with a birthday gift card from my wife. I was playing a Cleveland Frontline which I was happy with and I didn’t know what to get with the card from Golf Galaxy. Looking on their website, I was interested in the ball retrieving feature of the Heppler, but didn’t notice the grip. I played the different lengths until I discovered 33-1/2” to fit my best results! ⛳️
Bloodline. I have two of them. I purchased the first one, heel-shafted. But when they came out with the center-shafted version the next year, I grabbed it, too. I pair it wit the TM Tour Response Stripe. I look behind the ball for a general idea of the line (with the ball on the green). Then I adjust the putter head alignment and look again. (It stands up on its own behind the ball.) Then I align the stripe on the ball to be aligned with the putting line. (The putter head acts to mark the ball so you can move it.) Thus, the shaft, putter face, and ball are all on the intended line of the putt. Take it back and hit it through the stripe. I've been doing this for several weeks and it has improved both my distance control and accuracy. Accuracy should be obvious, but distance? Yes, because it just fills you with confidence that you'll make a good putt. My putting is superior now.
The hole in the middle and the line might be a sight when turned perpendicular to the ground. Or if you lie the putter on the ground with the line horizontally it might help with reading the slope of the green? Rick please try this in a follow up video.
The drive of technology in putters is astonishing. I am all for a stable putter and have one; and yes it helps but the guy holding the stick is the crucial element. How many of us have had lessons, driving, bunkers, long and short irons but never a putting lesson when putting is 50% of shots in the round if you hit every green in regulation? A friend of mine is off a comfortable 8 handicap on a course with lightning fast greens with a WHS ranking of 138. His putter is a 60 year old Golden Goose bullseye. I have seen him three put very few times in the last 15 years. The reason is.... he can putt! He does not need to spend money on overpriced clubs because he has a well honed technique that he has learned and repeats hole after hole, round after round.
I love my ancient odyssey backstryke for specifically the reason of this one, that back bent shaft. It's perfect for me, I return to using it all the time.
Got back into playing after over 10 year from watching your content. Really enjoying it again. So Thank You! Also does anyone know what shoes Rick is wearing?
Would be interesting to get this on some kind of a putter-specific Trackman device. It's really hard to fairly evaluate a putter when the human element is so variable!
Putting is pretty much about feel, seeing the line and calculating how hard to hit it in your mind for it to stay on that line. I love when on TV they show two lines the putt could follow and make it into the hole, then see how the player hits it along those lines.
I have just bought odyssey ten triple track putter. It's by far the best putter I've ever had (and I've had a few 🤣) So stable. Holing so many more putts!!

Always love seeing different and new putters
Struggling with putting at the moment so would love to give this a go!
Own the ER5 , planning on getting the Mid-Lock and now this one. Love Evnroll putters.
Always love your honest demos. This is a good example of over-engineering a product. It didn't help you sink more putts.
Fitted a LAB 1.5 grip to my Scotty and started putting so much better. I like the forward face grips

Very informative video, such a cool putter love the technology behind it!
After the first 20 seconds of the video I was thinking about if it can pick the golf ball up 😂 glad it did. Good review Rick!
A unique look but I like that style … love the honest assessment …
I have a Gravity Grip on my Scotty Cameron Newport 2 and I feel like it helps me keep the face square and has a nice fluid motion in the stroke.
I quite liked the look of this, even thinking about getting one myself. Then I saw the price. I think my two ball will keep me going a few more years.

I'm a mallet putter guy and like the Evnroll concept and designs. I'm using the gravity grip on my current gamer and I do like the feel and feedback.
Great vid Rick. I enjoy seeeing all the new attempts to gain any little advantage, even if they don't quite work.
That's why I like my SIMPLE putters: A RAM "T"-Square Blade, and a Louisville Slugger Brass and White Oak Mallet

Would be interesting to get this on some kind of a putter-specific Trackman device. It's really hard to fairly evaluate a putter when the human element is so variable!
Putting is pretty much about feel, seeing the line and calculating how hard to hit it in your mind for it to stay on that line. I love when on TV they show two lines the putt could follow and make it into the hole, then see how the player hits it along those lines.
They have it…It’s called the SAM system.
You can hover the hollow over the ball and line the markings on the ball up with the markings on the putter
I have just bought odyssey ten triple track putter. It's by far the best putter I've ever had (and I've had a few 🤣)
So stable. Holing so many more putts!!
Really happy with my Cobra Agera armlock - lots of tech there too.
Love your videos. Putting has always been my weakness in my game since I was a kid.
