Why We Like It
- These classic and customizable models use a unique electrical-discharge machining process with robotic manufacturing to lower the cost.
- The process cuts as many as a dozen starter blanks out of a large block of stainless steel with five-axis milling machines dialing in each angle and curve.
- The four blade models include the Savannah, a new wide-body plumber’s neck, and multiple hosel options to fit different stroke types.
- Players can also choose from one of four face-milling patterns.
- Face types include the soft Meridian cut, firm Smooth cut, mid-soft Fine Fly cut and the mid-firm Tack cut.
- The taller face height increases the likelihood of solid contact and consistent roll.
- Top 5 in Performance, low- and middle-handicaps
- Models: Savannah, Seaside, Charleston, Okatie. Head weights: 330, 360-370 grams. Lengths: 33-35 inches. Loft: 3 degrees.

It's a perfect blend of weight, face balance, and firmness. Meridian is going to be a household name someday. Feels firm, but controllable. Will give you some space on off-center hits. Very forgiving even though it doesn't look like it would be.

It doesn't miss. Such a pleasant feel off the face, almost like a nice caress. You melt into it and your entire body goes limp.
Thomas

Slightly larger blade than most. I found it interesting that the milling even extends up on the hosel. Incredibly stable putter. Heft isn't off the charts but it's enough to deliver stability and repeat the same stroke over and over again. Good soft feel and responsive face.

Plain, but effective. Heel and toe hits still made it to the hole. Good stability for what you see in this category. Firmer, meatier sensation at impact.

I really like the thin alignment line. It's very subtle, but it finds a way to draw your eye to the center of the face. Very light putter, but easy to control. You don't have to overthink it to keep it moving on plane and square.
BK

If you putt with a mallet and want to transition into a blade, this is a good place to start. Perfect blend of both styles. Feel is exceptional.
Robert

Simple putter with standard alignment line in the back. Feel, sound was very soft. Overall, rolled and performed well. Didn't have any issues with toe and heel strikes.
Matt

Fantastic, sharp-looking putter. Basic, brushed steel. Circular milled face. I like the position of the Meridian logo, far on the heel, so it doesn't come into play. It reminds me of one of those old Phil Mickelson putters, and we know how that worked out for him.
Matt

Looks are nondescript. Performance is anything but. I love how this putter rolls the ball. Gets it rolling immediately with no skipping, bouncing, skidding or checking. Just an end-over-end roll towards the hole.
John
55, Handicap 11

Very clean, nice-looking putter. No bells and whistles. Clubhead is a bit on the small side compared to others in this category. Ball rolled true; very little bounce. Contact was smooth, softer than most milled putters.
Ryan

Small head, heavy feel. Sets up nice but doesn't inspire much confidence looking down at it. Very good distance control, though. Mis-hits were not penalized. Good balance to the putter.
Peter
57, Handicap 7

Easy to line up and frame the ball to the hole. It's got enough weight in the head so you can feel it throughout the stroke. Long putts don't require any added effort. Milled face is nice and soft. Ball rolls true.
Gary
37, Handicap 13

Industrial U.S. look to these. No nonsense. The ball rolls strongly off the face for how light it is. Impact really resounds with energy. Contrasting blue paint makes for a nice presentation.
Molly

The face milling was soft and delivered a flush feeling on center hits. Easy to stroke; nice flow. Once in a while the ball was a little hot coming off the face, but is was easy to adjust to and there were no surprises after that.
Skylar

Classic-looking putter. Sits on the ground nice, well-balanced. It's not working hard to make you like it, which is why it works. Softness exhibited throughout the face. Sweet spot feels great. Feels like a top-branded putter you've been hearing about your whole life.
Ryan

Doesn't lack in any one area, but doesn't excel in one either. I was hoping for more from it based on its clean, classic look. The face felt very compact, as a result the ball was in charge of the putter and not vice versa.
Jin

Long, skinny putter, like a hockey stick. Need to hit the center of the sweet spot or you will lose distance and get an uncomfortable feel. Easy to align and comfortable at address. Deep ping-pong sound at impact.
Paul

Noticeable heft for such a small blade. Makes it easy to swing the putter. Produces a simple roll with a soft, quiet feel off the face. A clear your mind and putt kind of putter.
Alex

Heavy enough to maintain a smooth tempo throughout the stroke. All I had to do was take the putter back the right distance and let it go. Never had to worry about hitting it offline.

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 face gets thinner than a penny, which saves mass that’s redistributed to the perimeter.

These familiar head and hosel styles received a bold upgrade in the form of a carbon-steel face insert for a softer feel.
The insert is fused to the milled stainless-steel body and an aerospace-level vibration-damping adhesive.
Although carbon steel can typically degrade, this insert uses a chemical process to protect the steel, enhance hardness and preserve feel.

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.

The stock heads are almost 20 grams heavier than standard models, shifting the club’s balance point lower and leading to more consistency in face rotation.
The extra mass in the head is counterbalanced with a lighter grip so that players can feel the head move naturally like a pendulum.
