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.

As you probably know by now, Collin Morikawa switched putters after the first round of The Masters, and he ultimately went on to finish T3.
The putter was far from the only change he made last week, however, and his bag is continuing to change this week at the 2024 RBC Heritage.
On the range of The Masters, Morikawa worked closely with Adrian Reitveld, TaylorMade’s Senior Manager of Tour at TaylorMade, to find the perfect driver and 3-wood setups.
Morikawa started off 2024 by switching into TaylorMade’s Qi10 Max driver, but since went back to his faithful TaylorMade SIM – yes, the original SIM from 2020. Somehow, some way, it seems Morikawa always ends up back in that driver, which he used to win the 2020 PGA Championship, and the 2021 Open Championship.
At The Masters, however, Rietveld said the duo found the driver head that allowed “zero compromise” on Morikawa’s preferred fade flight and spin. To match his preferences, they landed on a TaylorMade Qi10 LS 9-degree head, and the lie angle is a touch flatter than his former SIM.
“It’s faster than his gamer, and I think what we found is it fits his desired shot shape, with zero compromise” Rietveld told GolfWRX.com on Wednesday at the RBC Heritage.
Then, to replace his former SIM rocket 3-wood, Morikawa decided to switch into the TaylorMade Qi10 core model 13.5-degree rocket head, with an adjustable hosel.
“He likes the spin characteristics of that head,” Rietveld said. “Now he’s interesting because with Collin, you can turn up at a tournament, and you look at his 3-wood, and he’s changed the setting. One day there’s more loft on it, one day there’s less loft on it. He’s that type of guy. He’s not scared to use the adjustability of the club.
“And I think he felt our titanium head didn’t spin as low as his original SIM. So we did some work with the other head, just because he liked the feel of it. It was a little high launching, so we fit him into something with less loft. It’s a naughty little piece of equipment.”
In addition to the driver and fairway wood changes, Morikawa also debuted his new “MySymbol” jersey No. 5 TP5x golf ball at The Masters. Morikawa’s choice of symbols is likely tied to his love of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team.
Not enough changes for you? There’s one more.
On Wednesday at the 2024 RBC Heritage, Morikawa was spotted with a new TaylorMade “Proto” 4-iron in the bag. If you recall, it’s the same model that Rory McIlroy debuted at the 2024 Valero Texas Open.
According to Morikawa, the new Proto 4-iron will replace his old P-770 hollow-bodied 4-iron.
“I used to hit my P-770 on a string, but sometimes the distance would be a little unpredictable,” Morikawa told GolfWRX.com. “This one launches a touch higher, and I feel I can predict the distance better. I know Rory replaced his P-760 with it. I’m liking it so far.”

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.

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.
