Is it a mirror chrome finish? I couldn't tell on Instagram, but seeing it on my monitor now, it looks even better

No it's a black Diamond Like Carbon.  The way the light hits it makes it look more chrome than it actually is.  Definitely more of a black.  Let me see if I can get a different picture

Ah, the picture of the sole makes it look mirror esque. Like a black car with no swirls/marring and a nice coat of wax.

It has a little shine to it.

 

Here's a picture I just took. It's definitely a grey/black smoke which is exactly what I wanted. Makes for great contrast on the black paintfill.

 

I'll be starting a new thread in a few days about my refinishing experience.

Ah, yeah I see what you mean now -- when the light hits it in certain angles it definitely shines, but overall it's pretty tough looking/murdered out. I've been strongly considering getting mine redone since I last mentioned that I've been getting BLINDED by the sun while standing over putts. A G400 paintjob on my ER2 to match my driver sounds like a no-brainer

Here's my current putter take. I was an EVNROLL Tester and previous to that I gamed a Ping Ketsch. Because the EVNROLL ER6 is counterbalanced with a 30 grm weight(as my putter is 33" and has a 285 grm head), my new Arccos sensor does not fit the grip causing me to go with the Ketsch until my new EVNROLL replacement grip arrives. The newer replacement grip is heavier and does not require the counterbalance weight. As far as I can tell, the Ping grooves work well, especially on the long rolls. Remember, Ping was sued by G.R. as their grooves infringed on his patented EVNROLL technology. That's when Ping recalled the Ketsch and reissued it, albeit, a little different groove. Mine is the original and rolls very well. Given the circumstances, I prefer the ER6 to the Ketsch.

You mean about your refinishing epic quest of grandeur?

First round of the year with my beloved ER2 in the bag and it was like riding a bike. I just can't believe how well I putt with it. I just have confidence standing over everything with the ER2. When I played with my Scotty newport a week and a half half ago that confidence just wasn't there.

 

Again, I'm taking this putter to the grave with me

Hit the ER2 and loved it.....just bought the ER3 and will try it out when it arrives tomorrow and share my thoughts. If I don't like it as much as the ER2, I'll trade in. Stay tuned!

[jlukes 12,769]

I guess I've been asleep but I have never tried this with my beloved ER2, does it actually make a difference? Something unique with Evnroll, or applicable to any putter?

I do it. I can't measurably say I notice a difference, but I've never putted better in my life. The alignment, combined with the speed/distance control and my ability to read a break properly, has helped me make more putts than I ever have. Putting is now a strength of my game.

 

For me I can't point directly to the alignment dots, but they are part of the complete package that makes me better

I'm not a believer/subscriber to intentionally hitting more towards the heel or toe for breaking putts. I do use the dots on my ER2 for lie angle consistency at setup though.

I also do it. I still miss on the low side sometimes but for me it's more about tricking that muscle between my ears.

Finally got to play a couple rounds with my ER3 and have to say I love it. The alignment dots really worked well for me. Any shot going L-R or R-L was lined up and rolled true. Maybe it's an internal mind trick, but it doesn't matter as it worked on the course. Throughout my round I either one or two putted, and the biggest difference to me was how good my misses were. I was missing 20ft putts by a couple inches or at worst by 2-3 feet. On a day where my driver was erratic as hell, the ER3 saved me a lot of strokes. The speed felt good and I was playing on a very tricky putting green at La Gorce in Miami. For now I'm using the standard grip, which is a departure from the fatter Super Stroke grips I had been using, but I haven't had any issues, as I naturally use a pendulum motion and don't get too handsy with my putters.

 

I had no issues from inside of 5 feet, and I can't wait to dive deeper into practicing with this club. It's my first time using a blade putter in 7+ years, and I really don't think I'll ever look back to using mallets again. I just feel very in control with this in my hands. I played with my brother, who is a Spider JDay loyalist, and even he had to remark how well I was putting (thought I couldn't get him to try it). 

 

Putters are obviously very personal and to each his own, but I have to say the ER3 (and ER2) are definitely worth trying out. The design also makes it easy to pick up a ball quickly for any gimmes (yes I'll take those thank you).

 

I bought the club directly from EVNROLL and though it took longer than I would have liked to get to me, everything arrived intact. I really love the blade cover, as it's extremely well made and has a nice magnetic ball marker attached to it. It's convenient and gets me in my *new habit of keeping my putter covered whenever I'm not using it. I'm definitely going to go out of my way to make sure this thing avoids unnecessary nicks and scratches, as it's a beautiful stick. 

 

Happy to answer any questions and I'll keep you updated if I learn any more about the club, or rather myself using it. Unboxing pictures below:

^^ Those slick magnetic ball markers have come up missing for a lot of Evnroll buyers. When I saw how sad some others were having lost their ER ball marker, I put mine in my golf bag preemptively, and keep it in my pocket for use while playing. FWIW. I suspect ER can replace them at some cost, but I didn't want to find out.

You can buy replacements on their website, 1 for $5 or 3 for $10...

Buy yourself a 3 pack, or do like @jlukes and super glue it on. I lost it on my ER7 and ER2

DQOTD: I can see the difference in shape/geometry, but is there an intended performance difference between the ER7 and ER8? Or is it just visual with little or no difference in performance. I kinda like the ER8 looks better but I like the three alignment stripes on the ER7 and it seems to have sold better from what I can tell.

Spec wise they are near identical so I would say that its just a difference in visuals

[DPattGolf 1,555]

As far as I can tell the ER7 is just deeper front to back than the ER8, and obviously the sole cutouts on the ER7. But I see the weights are the same. Just wondering if Evnroll intended one to play differently than the other, or just offering two looks to capture buyers.

Can't answer specifically for Envroll but I would imagine that it is the latter.

I think the 7 looks more like a 2-ball, so people who like that look would probably prefer to look down at that shape over the 8.

[yungkory 9,464]

^^ I think I like the look of the ER8 over the other ER mallets, but I hope to try them side by side one day. Unfortunately where the nearest PGA Superstore had a good selection of Evnroll putters last year, the selection is slim this year. As much as I want to believe otherwise, having your product (putters or other) in the hands of tour pros week in and week out makes a huge difference. It's a shame, I think Evnroll putters are special, but without more tour exposure I suspect they may never be nearly as successful as Scotty, PING, Odyssey, etc. And Evnroll prices are awfully high for a company that doesn't have endorsements in their costs.

 

I don't mind the price point. It's well made and 100% milled. In addition, you get the groove tech. Tour pros will come around eventually I'm sure. Maybe JT should grab one so he doesn't have to keep borrowing Rickies putter.

[jlukes 12,769]

I think Evnroll is doing the right thing and growing at a sustainable rate. Rife learned his lessons from his previous putter company (you can read that story on MGS) and is seeding slowly and allowing the business to grow organically.
