ER9-10K: Evnroll adds an ultra-high MOI putter to its lineup
Evnroll founder Guerin Rife saw the high-MOI mallet trend in professional golf and decided to raise the bar (appropriate, given his historical fondness for bars on his putters). Enter the ultra-high MOI ER9-10K Extreme mallet.
“I noticed more and more lately that many players on the PGA Tour are opting for high MOI oversized putter head designs,” Rife says. “They have to stand over a 4-foot putt worth $200k to $1m that will change their life. The pressure can be paralysing.”
According to the company, the highest MOI putters on the market are in the 5,000 range. As you might guess from the name, the ER9-10K has an MOI of 10,000.
In other words, as Guerin Rife says
“The ER9-10K is stability on steroids!”
To keep overall size down, the ER9 has milled 6061 aluminium body with hollow cylinders that run along the length of the head where steel weights are inserted. A range of short and long rod weights can be plugged in to dial in swing weight based on shaft length, grip weights and counter weights.
The ER9-10K also features Evnroll’s “Sweet Face” Technology: a unique mill pattern engineered to deliver uniform performance across the entire hitting area of the putter.
Additionally, the grip is geared toward enhancing MOI. The patent-pending Gravity Grip features a 70g, 10-inch steel rod that travels the full length of the deep V underside of the grip. This places 85 percent of the grip’s total weight in the fingers below the shaft, promoting a toe-up square face to the swing plane. At 120 grams, the Gravity Grip also acts as a counter weight.
The ER9-10K Extreme mallet will be available in three head weights according to shaft length (33 inches at 415 grams; 34 inches at 400 grams; 35 inches at 385 grams) with hosel options of either plumber neck or short slant neck.
The ER9-10K mallet extends the full Evnroll product range to 11 models for 2018. Starting spring of 2018, all new models will join the existing product line-up, available in 33, 34 and 35-inch lengths with an MSRP of $329 for the ER1, ER2, ER2cs & ER3 and $359 for the ER1.2, ER5, ER6, ER7, ER7cs, ER8 & ER9.

Best hybrids 2024: Expert fitters recommend the hybrids for your game
At GolfWRX, we believe the best hybrid for your game is going to be the one that gives you the greatest opportunity to both score and save shots during your round of golf.
In 2024, we have seen a continued expansion of hybrid options from every manufacturer with models designed to fit golfers of all skill levels and clubhead speeds. Some manufacturers offer models all the way down to 8-iron-replacement lofts.
That being said, ultimately the best way to find the best hybrid or hybrids for you is to work with a professional fitter using a launch monitor and gap them accordingly. The difficult part is a lot of people don’t have easy access to fitters, launch monitors, and club builders — so at GolfWRX, we have done a lot of the work for you.
We want to give you the tools and information to go out and find what works best for you, and we’re offering recommendations based on exactly what you need from your hybrids.
We have again broken our 2024 best hybrid list into two categories.
- Best hybrid for golfers seeking forgiveness
- Best hybrid for golfers seeking versatility
We reached out to our trusted fitters to discuss how they sort through the hybrid club options available to golfers. Forgiveness and versatility were the highest-ranked choices.
Most versatile hybrids of 2024
Titleist TSR2
“Forgiving speed and performance,” is the branding for the TSR2. TSR2 hybrids remain slightly longer with a classical shape. Center of gravity is lower and deeper in the TSR2 for higher launch and maximum forgiveness.
For more information, check out our launch piece.
Ping G430
In all of the G430 fairway woods and hybrids, Ping developed Carbonfly Wrap in a bid to deliver more distance by positioning the CG closer to the face line in design to maximize ball speed, resulting in higher, longer carries. The lightweight composite crown wraps into the heel and toe sections of the skirt, creating weight savings of 10 grams, which are reallocated to achieve a lower CG and increase ball speed.
For more information, check out our launch piece.
Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke
Leveraging the company’s new Ai Smart Face, Callaway’s Paradym Ai Smoke hybrid has been reshaped and features a larger profile for greater forgiveness and a refined sole camber for better turf interaction. The Tungsten Speed Cartridge is positioned in the front of the club for lower spin and ease of launch.
For more information, check out our launch piece.
TaylorMade Qi10 Rescue
The Qi10 Rescue is designed with an all-new Carbon Crown that helps free up weight for improved weight distribution in the heads. The club has split internal weighting to achieve more distance and a higher launch.
For more information, check out our launch piece.
TaylorMade Qi10 Tour Rescue
The Qi10 Tour Rescue model features a C300 face with a more compact look and a higher-toe design. It’s designed for better players who seek to combine distance and control with iron-like turf interaction, workability, and precision.
For more information, check out our launch piece.
Most forgiving hybrids of 2024
TaylorMade Qi10 Max Rescue
Qi10 Max Rescue clubs are designed with all-new Carbon Crowns that help free up weight for improved weight distribution in the heads. The Qi10 Max has an ultra-low CG (center of gravity) and a shallow face height for even higher launch and greater forgiveness.
For more information, check out our launch piece.
Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke HL
Designed for players with moderate to average swing speeds who are looking to hit the ball higher to maximize carry distance, the Paradym Ai Smoke HL leverages the company’s new Ai Smart Face. It features a larger profile for greater forgiveness and a refined sole camber for better turf interaction. The Tungsten Speed Cartridge is positioned in the front of the club for lower spin and ease of launch.

Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max Fast
The Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max Fast is designed for moderate-swing-speed players. In addition to Ai Smart Face, Max Fast features a larger profile for greater forgiveness and a refined sole camber for better turf interaction. The Tungsten Speed Cartridge is positioned in the front of the club for lower spin and ease of launch.
For more information, check out our launch piece.
Titleist TSR1
Titleist’s new TSR1 hybrids are built with a larger, “wood-like” size to help golfers find more speed and forgiveness. They’re also built 0.5 inches longer than standard to provide additional assistance in creating speed.

If the Putter, works better for you, than the one in your bag, and you can afford it buy it simples.
If it works for you forget the mathematics and logarithms of how it was achieved.

Only a desperate deluded hacker would want this pile/piece of junk. No tour pro would play this abomination unless paid-to-play. Stooopid …!!!!

ER9 putter head = 400 grams
Gravity Grip = 120 grams
Steel shaft = 120 grams
Total weight = 640 grams = 22.57 oz. = 1.4 pounds ….!!!!
Golf ball = 1.62 oz..
Ratio of putter weight to ball weight = ~14:1 :-O 😮 :-O

“The ER9-10K Extreme mallet will be available in three head weights according to shaft length (33 inches at 415 grams; 34 inches at 400 grams; 35 inches at 385 grams)…”
33 x 415 = 13,695 gram-inches
34 x 400 = 13,600 gram-inches
35 x 385 = 13,475 gram-inches
All about the same first moment about the handle end … 😮

Oh… and the putter weighs nearly a pound (~15 oz.) which should be adequate to overwhelm a 1.68 ounce ball… but maybe it’s too heavy to swing back and stroke forward with a soft finger grip. Maybe it requires a strong ham-fisted grasp to keep under control while torquing otherwise the pendulum stroke will break down and go out of control…. ya think?!! 😀

High MOI is good for off-center miss-hits on the putter face, but it’s the enemy of the putting stroke because of weight imbalance in the hands. If you hit the ball on the putter sweet spot and +/- 1/2″ the excessive MOI is useless.
If you have an unstable putting stroke the high MOI is your enemy because it will further destabilize your putting stroke. You will lose control of the putter, plain and simple.
