I get what you're saying, I just think it's a bit unnecessary. Do we really need it to feel the same over the entire face? It really isn't about feel; and I prefer to have different feels based on where I hit the ball on the face. The purpose of EvnRoll grooves its to make ball speed more consistent across the face. Miss heel or toe and it goes the same distance as center strikes. 5 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* set to 16.5* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 816H1 19* set at 18* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 588 54-14, 58-12 Putter: Ten S Backups: 6330, ER2.2, Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to post Share on other sites

Tracy has a permanent spot in my second bag I keep up on Long Island. Notice the trend? All 3 are variations of the Anser style putters... why do my eyes always wander? i love my double wide! classic shape, long alignment line, stroke lab shaft, just awesome 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Okay, now I get the idea behind the groove technology. My question would be does that tech really help me if I have to feel like I'm hitting my putt harder than normal to get it to the hole? I'm not comfortable debating this beyond that one question though, because I've always been one who prefers a blade putter and the ER5 is a mallet. I'll never forget when the Stroke Lab putters came out about 3 years ago. I was in a small local shop which is very highly regarded for their custom fitting work. I tried what I think was called the Sabertooth(?) version first, and I knew the fitter was looking at me and thinking "...and this guy thinks he's a decent putter?" I mean I couldn't sniff the hole, LOL. I was really embarrassed and wanted to crawl under a rock. Then I saw the Double Wide model, picked it up and started making everything. Suddenly I looked like a poor man's Brad Faxon. My point is, I'm not trying to knock Evnroll, Maybe if I'd bought a different model I'd be here singing their praises. What I can say though is the 5.0 wasn't for me. No harm, no foul though. I had a gift card and took a flyer based on the great reviews I'd read on the putter. With the 90 day playability deal I got to scratch an itch. The Newport 2.0 is like an old friend.. something I'm always comfortable having around.

Not looking for a debate either; just stating how the groove design works. EvnRoll does have blades, but when it comes to any golf club you have to figure out what works for you. You have developed a particular "feel" for distance control and any putter that changes that will probably give you the same impression. If you don't want to change then no EvnRoll putter will work for you. Speed control isn't just about blade vs. mallet so the need to change your stroke length could happen with any putter you pick up. 7 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* set to 16.5* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 816H1 19* set at 18* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 588 54-14, 58-12 Putter: Ten S Backups: 6330, ER2.2, Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to post Share on other sites

To my knowledge, LMs use the ball speed to estimate smash, with GCQuad being an exception because it can actually track clubhead speed? So ball speed is the input, smash is estimated or assumed based on the club you tell the LM you're hitting, and therefore it can calculate what your SS "should be". So for example, this guy hit his driver and ball speed was 150, smash is preset at 1.45, therefore swing speed was calculated at 103ish. It's one of the issues I have with my local pro shops because they use a fixed smash on their GC4 (I don't even know if they pay for the extra cameras to make it a quad) and trick people into distance gains. Maybe trackman can also measure CHS because it's further behind the player, and also a more advanced radar?
