“The original Evnroll blade from the 2016 launch, a classic thin plumber-neck Anser shape. Sweet Face milling means off-center hits roll the same distance as pured ones, so it flatters a slight-arc stroke.”
The ER1 is the putter that launched Evnroll in 2016 and made Guerin Rife's name a third time — after his original Rife Putters and his two-bar/RollGroove face work, Rife founded Evnroll to build the roll-consistency idea to its conclusion. It is a classic thin plumber-neck Anser-style blade CNC-milled from a single billet of 303 stainless steel, hand-ground and finished to a 'tour level' standard. The whole point is the face: Evnroll's patented Sweet Face milling cuts a variable-depth groove pattern that imparts progressively more energy on off-center strikes, so a heel or toe hit rolls the same distance as a center strike and the pattern nudges the ball back toward the target line. Independent testing (Golfalot) measured dramatically tighter distance dispersion across the face than rival putters — the marketing claim of 'sweetest face in golf' is one of the rare ones backed by third-party data.
Scored on a putter basis, and this is the interesting case: the ER1 is a small heel-toe-weighted blade, so on raw head MOI it forgives directional twist only modestly — a blade, not a mallet. But its forgiveness is a different axis: the Sweet Face milling makes off-center hits roll a consistent DISTANCE, which is where most three-putts come from (leaving it short/long, not offline). Golfalot's testing showed the face pattern held distance far tighter than a normal milled/insert face. So it earns a 6 rather than a blade's typical 4-5 — genuine, measured mis-hit help on speed, even though line stability is still blade-level. Cult status did not inflate this; the third-party data did.
Original MSRP was around $329-379. As a 2016 blade with steady enthusiast demand, it depreciates but holds better than commodity putters: realistic 2026 private-party value is roughly $90-190 depending on condition, finish and headcover (SidelineSwap showed a used ER1 near $100; retail-refurb sits higher). 2nd Swing reconditioned-retail listings run above private-sale — treat those as store prices. Clean examples with cover and original weights sit at the top of the band.

Evnroll burst onto the scene in 2016 and immediately won 'Sweetest Face in Golf' / best-blade recognition (Golfalot's face-consistency testing, later MyGolfSpy blade-putter honors), built on designer Guerin Rife's face-groove pedigree. The ER1 is the founding model and Rife's third act after Rife Putters and the Two Bar groove work — it carries genuine designer-driven cult standing among putter enthusiasts and fitters, sustained across a decade, rather than mass-market fame.
For a player with a slight-arc stroke who wants a traditional compact blade look but keeps leaving mis-hit putts the wrong distance — the Sweet Face directly targets that error. Feel-oriented players who like a firm, milled 303 stainless response and a plumber-neck Anser shape will feel at home. Who should skip it: players wanting maximum head MOI/alignment help (go to an Evnroll mallet or a fang), and bargain shoppers, since it is a premium-priced blade.
Debuted in 2016 into a blade market ruled by Scotty Cameron Newport, Odyssey and Ping Anser derivatives; Evnroll's differentiator was the face technology rather than the shape. The ER1 anchored a line that grew to mallets (ER5/ER8/ER11) and later 'v' and Neo Classics refreshes. Its lineage runs straight from Rife's earlier groove-face putters, and the Sweet Face idea influenced the broader industry conversation about face-milling for roll consistency.
Calibrated across the whole catalog — a tour blade scores low here on purpose; it means control, not ease.
Reading is one thing — hitting is another. Book a bay and see the numbers for yourself before you buy anywhere.
