Why We Like It
- The five blade models are milled from 303 stainless steel and feature traditional and wide-body looks.
- The new models reposition the center of gravity for a balanced stroke with a larger, more centered sweet spot.
- The five models offer five necks to better match a player’s stroke pattern and preferred look at address.
- The face pattern uses mini-honeycomb milling marks to provide a responsive but firm feel that’s softer than Bettinardi’s traditional honeycomb pattern.
- The heads are finished with a “Royal Rose” PVD treatment for greater ball-putter-green contrast.
- Top 5 in Performance, low-handicaps
- Models: QB6, QB8, QB6 SBS, QB8 Center, QB16. Head weights: 362 grams. Lengths: 33-38 inches. Loft: 3 degrees.

Lots of different feedback. Maybe that's a positive so that you learn what it feels like to hit the center of the face, and how to do that. Got slightly less distance out of mis-hits, but they stayed generally on line. It's a strict putter.
Gary

Really love the brushed copper finish. Milling pattern on the face screams luxury. Pretty consistent performance across the entire face.
John
55, Handicap 11

Performance was much better than expected based on smallish head, especially on putts outside 30 feet. Lag putts finished consistently around the hole.
Paul
63, Handicap 4

A bit of a mini-mallet because of the width of the head. Not attractive to me, but I could not deny how well I stroked the ball.
Daniel
33, Handicap 12

Soft, receptive putter when catching the ball. Very easy to square. While soft, ball left with a purpose. Surprising energy.

Easy, nice feeling putter. You don't have to take it way back and kill it. The weight is perfect. Wherever you line it up, that's where it's going. Very straight. Lag putts finish right by the hole.
Jamie
51, Handicap 5

Mid-range putts almost felt like gimmes. Ball starts on line and hugs the ground. Short, downhill putts were no problem as the face stays square.
Anand
43, Handicap 6

Looks classy, expensive. I do like blades with the flange extending back—gives more balance to the putter. I think I hit the center of the face every time. I could not miss, which says a lot about the balance.
BK

There’s something ethereal with the way the ball comes off the face. You don’t care if it goes in because it feels so good. It’s so enjoyable using this putter. I like the slanted necks that almost play center-shafted. Good topline if you are used to a mallet look.
Alan

Smaller head makes you really focus in on the sweet spot, which can be a little intimidating. Unique color and design is sure to get attention of consumers.
Robert

Simple design, easy alignment, thinner topline are all pluses. Provides solid feedback regardless of whether you hit it square or off the toe or heel.
Ryan
46, Handicap 14

Putter sets up really nicely behind the ball, super easy to align. Money on short putts, but harder to gauge distance on long putts. Smallish head didn't give me much confidence on longer putts.
David
66, Handicap 8

Love everything about this putter but the grip. Exceptional distance control on short and lag putts. Good balance and weight through the ball on longer putts.
Jack
35, Handicap 1

Combination of the width and length of the blade creates a boxy look that's easy to square up. Rose copper finish isn't something you usually see. Honeycomb milling in face softens impact, though it still putts on the firmer side.
Thomas
60, Handicap 7
10+ years testing
Beautiful finish, almost like a plum color. Interesting design with a couple of extra notches on the flange. Control-wise, I really feel like the honeycomb milling worked well. Still performed the same no matter the stroke. Extremely accurate.
Alex
40, Handicap 11

Beautiful mix of modern and classic elements. Ball rolls immediately off the face and is so easy to keep on line.
Megan
39, Handicap 0

Real stable through the hit. I don't love the rose copper finish, but it certainly is different. Face is soft and my speed control was perfect. Easy to aim and the shape looks pleasing to the eye.
Alejandra
26, Handicap 5

As much as I love the rose/gold color choice, it does not match with the grip. Very soft feel, but firm at the same time. As soon as you hit it, the ball goes exactly where you want it to. Very easy to hit, make putts with this putter.
Wayne
60, Handicap 6

Looks like a hybrid between a blade and mallet putter. Longer putts had good distance and feel, but shorter putts were forcing me to move the putterhead around too much.
RC
63, Handicap 7

Big blade with extra, tapered flange in back. Putted really well. Easy to control speed on short and long putts. One of my favorite putters.
Matt
52, Handicap 11
3 years testing
The feel is the real star of the show. Cushions the ball at impact and then sends it on its way. Result is an ultra-pleasing feeling in the hands. Sound is not too quiet or loud, just a simple knock. Distance control was easy to dial in.
Scott
37, Handicap 14
9 years testing
Really smooth performance. Even with the compact heel to toe size, it had a lot of face to provide for a full transfer of energy into the ball. Caressed the ball at impact, resulting in a gentle, smooth end-over-end roll.
Peter
57, Handicap 7
10+ years testing
I like the weighting in the head; you can really feel it. So little effort is required to get long putts to the hole, but you still have total control. Shorter putts did not feel too heavy. Felt just as soft as long putts. Ball does not wobble and stays on line.
Jason
48, Handicap 0

The copper-rose color really helped me align the putter properly because it contrasted so much with the green. Very unique. The roll was incredible, but the alignment inspired confidence, which I think was the biggest thing.
Wei
55, Handicap 13
9 years testing
I love the dark sepia color of the head and how it contrasts with the green of the grass. There's a simple alignment aid and it really stands out between the heel and toe weighting. It was very easy for me to get the ball started on line and make it go to the place I wanted it to.
Ryan
49, Handicap 10
7 years testing
Striking look with eye-catching rose color, honeycomb milling on the face and underside. No detail is left behind on this putter. The farther away from the hole I was, the more in control I felt. Excelled on long putts regardless of whether they were uphill or downhill.
Matt
27, Handicap 5
1 year testing
Soft in all the right places, and firmer in the places you don't want to hit it. But the firmness is like a forgiveness mechanism and helps you keep putts on line. Heavier in the clubhead than in the grip, so you can feel the head through the ball.
Ricky
46, Handicap +3

Very easy to use. The sole sits flat and square. From there, it’s just a matter of pulling the trigger. Great progression of sound from short to long putts. Instant feedback. Not a lot of wiggle in this.
Molly
37, Handicap 0

I really enjoy the gentle knocking sound it makes. It matches the soft feel of the ball coming off the face. Off-center strikes rolled out to where it was not detrimental. Color is a little too overboard. Wish it were more subtle.

Evnroll takes a versatile approach to traditional blade putters (hence, the “V”) with hosels that attach via a typical torque wrench.
The two hosel options include short-slant or short-plumber configurations.
Completely milled from 303 stainless steel, this slightly wider-body blade adds stability with tungsten or steel sole weights in the heel and toe.

The unique reverse plumber’s-neck hosel helps to shift the putter’s balance point between shaft and head to make it easier to square the face at impact.
The benefit of the hosel is that unlike other designs that reduce or eliminate torsional resistance, this version does not force the hands forward with an angled shaft.
Because the shaft is aligned with the head’s center of mass, the putter face stays square to the path of the stroke to eliminate unreliable hand action.

Compared to the single-piece milled versions in the company’s line, these models provide more forgiveness with a greater resilient face material.
The polymer material in the face, known as Pebax, is found in running shoes. It stretches the width of the face to provide a consistent energy transfer and soft feel.
The array of models accommodates strokes with a slight arc (Anser, Anser 2D, B63) and those with a stronger arc (Anser 4).

These traditional shapes focus on custom-fitting with an array of hosel options from heel-shafted to armlock.
Like the company’s hollow-body irons, an internal polymer filling reinforces the center of the ultra-thin faces to enhance rebound, feel and forgiveness.

The three models cater to two stroke types (straight on the #8C and a slight arc on the #1 and #8S).
Models also feature different style grips depending on the stroke type, specifically an oversize pistol for quieting the hands on the straight-stroke putter and a classic pistol for ease of activating the arcing stroke.
The dense milling pattern at the center of the face becomes looser toward the heel and toe so that mis-hits receive more energy at impact for consistency across the face.
