“Evnroll's answer to the zero-torque trend: a large-format mallet with extreme heel-and-toe weighting, a centered shaft and a special weighted grip to sharpen face-angle awareness. The face resists twisting through impact, so it helps players who struggle to control the face; works with any stroke.”
The Zero is Evnroll's September 2024 answer to the zero-torque putter wave that L.A.B. Golf kicked off — but designer Guerin Rife solved it his own way. Instead of L.A.B.'s Lie Angle Balance geometry, the Zero uses a reverse-offset hosel Evnroll brands 'FaceForward Technology': the neck loops the shaft forward so it aims straight at the head's center of mass, killing the torque that rotates the face open or closed through the stroke. Layered on top is Evnroll's signature SweetFace milling — variable-width V-grooves, wider in the center and pinching toward heel and toe — so off-center strikes leave the face at nearly matched speed. The flagship high-MOI Z1 is 100% milled from 6061 aluminum and front-loaded with two 85g tungsten sole weights for extreme stability.
Evnroll the brand carries genuine putter-nerd cred — Rife invented the first cavity-back mallet, licensed RollGroove to Spalding, sold 700,000+ Rife Two-Bars, and Evnroll won MyGolfSpy's Best Blade of 2024 — but the Zero specifically is a well-reviewed 2024 me-too entry into a category L.A.B. defined, not an original icon. It finished mid-pack (T2 in one zero-torque shootout) on stability. Notable, not cult.
For the player who loses putts to face-angle inconsistency — a 1-degree face error misses a 10-footer — and who putts (or wants to putt) with a straight, shoulder-driven, minimal-arc stroke. Poor fit for a strong arc putter who relies on toe release; the anti-rotation design neutralizes exactly the motion they trust, and the reverse-offset look is polarizing at address.
Launched into the 2024-25 zero-torque gold rush that L.A.B. Golf triggered (Adam Scott, Lucas Glover wins), when Odyssey (Square 2 Square/Ai-One Square), PXG, Bettinardi and others all rushed torque-balanced models to shelves. Evnroll's differentiator is combining zero-torque with its established SweetFace face tech; its lineage traces to the ER-series milled putters rather than a clean-sheet mallet.
Scored on the putter axis (face stability + off-center roll consistency, not iron-style mishit distance). The zero-torque reverse-offset hosel plus high-MOI head genuinely resist face twist, and SweetFace's variable grooves normalize ball speed on heel/toe strikes, so start-line dispersion is tight. It is beaten only by the even-larger ER11vx and the biggest max-MOI mallets. Reviewers note it demands light grip pressure and a shoulder-rocking stroke — golfers who instinctively release the toe fight the design rather than benefit from it.
Calibrated across the whole catalog — a tour blade scores low here on purpose; it means control, not ease.
As a late-2024 premium milled putter it holds value better than most clubs; realistic 2026 private-party sales run roughly $260-340 for a clean example versus the $449 MSRP, helped by Evnroll's own trade-in program keeping a floor under the brand. Watch for reconditioned-retail and 'new-old-stock' listings near or at full $449 — those are store/warranty prices, not what a private buyer should pay. Head cover and original weights present matter to resale.
Reading is one thing — hitting is another. Book a bay and see the numbers for yourself before you buy anywhere.
