Evnroll putters have held a special place in my heart (and my golf bag) for a long time now – for whatever reason, I have always got on with them. While the LAB Golf DF3 is getting its chance currently, Evnroll remain one of the best premium putters money can buy.
The new Neo Classic ER2 differs from previous iterations most notably because of its polymer aluminium insert, which is said to enhance the feel. While the all metal faces used on the ER2V putter last year weren’t overly firm or harsh, this new version certainly feels softer. The acoustics are marginally less noticeable, especially on longer putts, and the sensation overall is just more premium.

It’s a wide blade design, but you could argue it has the corrective qualities of some of the best mallet putters.

It comes with two 27.5g weights as standard but you can custom order weights ($25 uncharge) as low as 12.5g or up to 42.5g if you need to make it one of the most forgiving putters or just like the feel of a much heavier head.

Evnroll has really nailed the grip too – this 90g Neo grip feels buttery soft in your hands and delivers a really comfortable and secure hold. The wide front section helps get both thumbs on easily and feel where the face is pointing, plus the texture just gives you a little more control – especially when your hands get a little sweaty. I also love the retro font used for the logo on the…
