Golfspy_CG2 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 So any luck? Sorry buddy. There wasn't any SWAG that I noticed and I may have mentioned earlier my phone died as I was trying to take pictures of the ER9 (and others) while at the booth. And Guerrin was busy doing some sort of video interview while I was there, so it was a fail on all accounts Quote G430 Max 10K TSiR1 15.0 Aldlia Ascent 60g TSR2 18.0 PX Aldila Ascent 6og TSi1 20 Aldila Ascent Shafts R T350 5-GW SteelFiber I80 SM10 48F/54M and58K S159 48S/52S/56W/60B Select 5.5 Flowback 35" ProV1 Play number 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

null Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I don't know what else I could say that I didn't ready say in my review. I have never putted better in my life since getting the ER2. I literally think I can make everything. Do I? No, but that is the type of confidence this putter has given me. I was always a traditional anser or #9 guy, but the ER2 gives me a little more stability while still giving me a classic look down by the ball. If you're looking for something to compare the ER2 in terms of size, you should be able to find an Odyssey 1 Wide in any typical big golf store.

PMookie Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I tried all of the current putters at the PGA Superstore near The Woodlands Monday on my way into Houston. None of them were long enough to start with, they were much lighter than my Edel, and my Edel was more accurate head-to-head. Of the models out, I liked the ER6B best. I'll still try the ER9 when it releases, but I'd definitely have to find a fitter and see if they have a 36†or so to try.

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Well I also told him I liked a traditional shape, but wanted something with a little more stability than the anser blade. I believe I also mentioned that I am not necessarily a straight back straight through putter. I think those two things factored into him recommending the ER2. Without his fitting, I would have never known to drop the loft so much and it makes a ton of sense and i putt such a natural roll on the ball with the 1 degree of loft he suggested Rtracymog and cnosil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnosil Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 So for the guys that own or tested the evnroll putters, what is you thought on the various debates going on in social media regarding the evnroll grooves influencing the balls direction. While off center hits may cause the ball to have some left to right or right to left spin I don't think it is significant enough to overcome the forward rotation that starts when the ball hits the ground during its skid phase. Was having a discussion and a point was made that if the correction is made on offcenter hits, wouldn't a ball that was hit online but not in the center curve out of the hole causing me to possibly miss the putt that would have otherwise been made? After having tested the putters, I am sold on the distance control aspect of the face but can't comprehend the line correction aspect that is often discussed. I guess I would need to see a straight putt with a putter that is x degrees open to the line have a toe strike and see where the ball ends up. Based on the 1* open face we could say the ball should be x distance to the right of the target line at any point. I the grooves correct I should be consistently inside that line.

Shankster Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I'm becoming more interested in these things. I suck at putting, by far the worst part of my game.

I can't remember if I mentioned it in my review or not. But in my experience, the biggest benefit of the increased face contact on off center hits was the distance control, as you elude to above. I honestly can't recall any correction of the line as such. But all of my testing was done outside on real grass and greens that varied in speed and such, so I'm not sure if that would have had any minimal difference. But when I purposely missed out on the toe or on the heel, I lost very little in distance and was always still within a very short tap in of sorts on everything, but the longest of putss, such as when I did my 60 foot testing, it might have been 2 or 3 feet short as opposed to inches.

cnosil Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Watch these videos and see for yourself So you have seen this effect personally or are there independent Tests that show the same thing? Call me doubtful but to me the gear effect or turning the ball toward the center seems to defy physics. I have tried to test it myself and I like the evnroll putters. I think the grooves are the most effective for distance control.but can't say that I can confirm the gear effect.

The grooves (the actual face) get deeper away from the center which imparts a directional spin towards the center of the path.

Like I mentioned in my review, I don't think people will be able to roll a few putts with the Evnroll and clearly see the technology. But over time, your putting will get better - and the tech is a part of that. And the videos I posted are clearly unedited - so if those aren't good enough for you, I don't know what to tell you. It is amazing that consumers taking all this iron and driver tech at face value, but the moment someone shows they have something unique with putter tech, it becomes questionable. cnosil and cksurfdude 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the ER2 since March 2017 and by far the best putter in distance and direction control of any putter I've ever had over past 25 years Guess it is my skeptic nature and wanting to understand how the depth imparts enough spin to overcome the friction that starts and end over end spin. A balls direction is influenced by two things...face angle and the putters path at impact. General numbers show that face angle has about 83% and path 17%. For the test we are seeing no variation in path for any of the strikes. Since all the tests are showing the that the ball is being moved so at impact the putter is approaching square at impact. Since off center strikes have a tendency to twist the face open or closed at impact the reason for the left/right dispersion is due to this twisting. Higher moi putters would twist less at impact and would in theory be closer to the target line than a lower MOI putter. I could also potentially reduce the twist with the shaft to help with dispersion. If we go with the theory that the depth of the grooves are in fact moving the ball closer to the target line by initially launching the ball left or right prior to the forward roll there is also potentially an increase in dispersion. Just as a player struggles to control where we impact the ball we also lack consistency in controlling the face angle and path. This would mean that by having the face angle open or closed with an off center hit would potentially move the ball away from the hole if in fact it does change the balls path. Based on that evaluation and since 2 (path and face angle )of the 3 (contact point ) variables were kept constant, I would expect that some balls would be closer to the hole and some farther away based on the variable depth groves.

Absolutely. Just as though bulge and roll has an impact on drives. If I close the club face and hit it on the toe, then the technology is actually going to hurt me more than it helps. However, the majority of the time the technology is going to help. If that wasn't the case, the technology would not be a mainstay in every single driver, fairway and hybrid on the market. Same applies here. cnosil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
