“The V-Series build of the ER1 plumber-neck blade with interchangeable weights, hosels and sightlines. Same Sweet Face consistency in a fully fittable classic blade; suits an arc stroke.”
The ER1v is the classic-blade entry in Evnroll's V-Series, the customizable putter platform Guerin Rife launched to let a single head shape be fit across six interchangeable hosel options (Inline Slant, Mid Slant, Short Slant, Short Plumber, Long Plumber, Long Slant). It's a heel-toe-weighted flange blade, with a short-plumber hosel option adding toe hang for an arced stroke, built around Rife's patented Sweet Face milling -- a variable-width groove pattern designed to equalize ball speed across the face so a heel or toe miss rolls out closer to a center strike than it would off a flat-milled face. It's the most traditional-looking shape in a lineup whose other models lean more modern.
It inherits real, substantiated technology (Sweet Face milling has independently tested face-consistency claims and sits inside a family that has won MyGolfSpy 'Most Wanted' testing in other models) and gets consistently positive reviews (2nd Swing, golf press) for build quality and feel. But the ER1v itself is not the specific award-winning model in Evnroll's history -- that distinction belongs to siblings (the ER2 Mid Blade, the ER7 mallet) -- so it's a strong, well-engineered member of an acclaimed family rather than a standout in its own right.
Golfers who grew up putting a Newport-style blade and want that look and feel with modern face technology and a tunable hosel/toe-hang fit -- best for players with some arc in their stroke who choose the short-plumber hosel option. Someone with a straight-back-straight-through stroke, or who wants maximum forgiveness, should look at Evnroll's wider ER2v or a full mallet instead.
Launched in 2021 as part of Evnroll's V-Series relaunch of its whole lineup around interchangeable hosels, four years after the original (non-v) ER-series had already made history by sweeping both the 2017 MyGolfSpy 'Most Wanted Blade' and 'Most Wanted Mallet' awards in the same year. It competes with Odyssey's White Hot OG blades, Scotty Cameron Newport, and other tour-blade-style putters as a premium, boutique-engineered alternative.
A traditional blade shape has inherently less perimeter weighting/MOI than a mallet, but Rife's Sweet Face variable-groove milling is specifically engineered to narrow the ball-speed gap between center and off-center strikes -- Evnroll's signature differentiator versus a conventional flat-milled blade. Scored above a typical classic blade (~4-5) for that reason, but below Evnroll's own wider mid-blade and mallet siblings.
Calibrated across the whole catalog — a tour blade scores low here on purpose; it means control, not ease.
Used ER1v putters trade around $175-230 on eBay and comparable marketplaces (a wrist-lock 40in example at $175, a short-slant Tour Blade at $200), consistent with a current-generation (2021), still-in-production premium putter with active resale demand.
