I picked up an ER5 when PGA Superstore had them on sale during Black Friday/Cyber Monday. I've had the most success with this putter by far, and I've cycled through my fair share of putters (Odyssey Metal X Milled, Works, Versa Works, and Black Series TD, as well as a Scotty). I've been working on my distance control for awhile now, but with this putter I no longer worry about coming up short due to a mishit. I'm now confident that if I leave it short, it's because I simply didn't swing hard enough, which allows me to better compensate for the next hole. I can see how some would complain about the feel of the series, as the ER5 in particular has a very metallic ping sound when it strikes the ball. I would liken this to the recent PING TR 1966 putters. I like this feel, so this doesn't bother me at all. My only complaint was the opaque red, white and yellow paint used on the club, as I thought it looked a bit garish. That issue was easily fixed with some paint thinner and transparent red and black paints.
