BADFanBoi Scotty 118 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Had a go with the ER11V. I'm the type of guy that looks at the putter head in the stroke. With that much offset, we found that I just pulled everything left. Ended up with a Sik Double Wide Armlock. Not a fan of the feel, but consistency of length is great. Pity we don't have the Cobra Agera over in Australia in the Armlock. That would have been interesting.

GolfSpy MPR 12,301 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 This thread has been slow. But I just ordered one of these on eBay and it is scheduled to arrive today. I grabbed an ER11v at 40": Right now, I'm adjusting my putting stroke a decent amount, but the weak point in my Arccos stats remains my 3-5' putts, which are costing me 2-3 strokes per round. Intrigued to see if this can help; even if it doesn't displace my Edel as a my primary gamer, I think that practicing with the MidLock will help tidy up my stroke. I'll keep this thread updated. 2 Quote TS3 Mavrik Sub Zero 15°, Aldila Rogue White 130 MSI 70 S F6 5-6W, 18.5°, Fujikura Motore 6.3 XR Pro 20°, Project X 75 Black HYB S CBX Iron-Wood 22°, Project X HZRDUS Black 6.0 85g 699 Pro, Modus3 105, 6–PW Forged Black 50°, 54°, and 58° EAS 4.0 TP5x Full WITB with pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfSpy MPR 12,301 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Some initial impressions: Aesthetically, it's a lovely putter. The sound is dense, solid, and muted. I had no significantly trouble adjusting to the longer grip and armlock setup. My standard grip is slightly left-hand low. So I took my normal grip and the protruding end of the Midlock grip set on my arm as intended. I do find, however, that the longer putter brings back a bad habit I have at setup, which is to get my weight a bit toward the ball, almost using the putter as a crutch. This leads to all manner of issues with the start of my backswing. Curiously, the more I think about the armlock and the mechanical stroke, the worse this gets. The more I get comfortable with it and just putt normally, allowing the putter to do it's part in keeping my stroke stable, the better the results. I did some testing with my Hackmotion sensor last night. For those who don't know, it's a device that measures change in wrist angles during the stroke. For a putter, the "ideal" is to keep quiet wrists, so a "perfect" score would be to keep both flexion/extension and ulnar/radial deviation to 0. Here is a chart with about a dozen putts last night with the Midlock vs my previous session, which was with my Edel: As you can see, the numbers with the Midlock are noticeably better. I've taken it to the course for nine holes so far, with limited practice. My first putt with it was from off the green, and I holed about a 25 footer. Otherwise, the results were kinda meh. I had two three putts from 25–30', where I left the first considerably short. This is not an uncommon story for those switching to armlock putters. 4 Quote TS3 Mavrik Sub Zero 15°, Aldila Rogue White 130 MSI 70 S F6 5-6W, 18.5°, Fujikura Motore 6.3 XR Pro 20°, Project X 75 Black HYB S CBX Iron-Wood 22°, Project X HZRDUS Black 6.0 85g 699 Pro, Modus3 105, 6–PW Forged Black 50°, 54°, and 58° EAS 4.0 TP5x Full WITB with pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donn lost in San Diego 56 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 I live a few miles from Evnroll. Add $100 (or is it $150) for a full in-person fitting. When I have $500 play money, I might go. I do like the face-balanced ones I've tinkd with. But for now, I stick, face-balanced, with a Musty wood mallet and sometimes a Scotty Futura X winged type counterweight, model from around 2015. I would like a custom fitted Evnroll or Musty wood for my particular angles and arm/hand size, lie, etc. 2 Quote Driver Callaway Epic on Recoil F2 (senior) flex Three wood is TM Burner Superfast 3.0 on M (mature) flex 3H Old Adams A3OS red boxster on stock Graffaloy Platinum reg shaft 3 MP 18 MMC and 4 GFF hybrid Mizuno irons 5 Mizu hybrid Fli-hi 6 - W Ping I 500 irons on Recoil F3 reg flex shafts Wedges: Mizuno blue 52 09, 60 06, and old original Hogan Sure-out 56 14 sand Chipper (yep I carry a chipper) old Don Martin Up n In bronze Putter Musty wood mallet, sometimes switch with my Scotty Cameron Futura X counter weight face balanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDTVMAN 167 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Used to use belly putter and tried the Evnroll Midlock, but like the Bettinardi & Callaway, just couldn't get it to work. Went back to a 35" with a 2 Thumb grip. Love it! 1 Quote Certified Club Fitter.
