ER8V Midlock

The ER8V Midlock is a 2021 release in Evnroll's ER8 mallet line, built around the Midlock grip and setup rather than a conventional putter length and hosel. It's a mallet head, confirmed by both golfsupport.com and golfmagic.com, carrying 4 degrees of loft according to golfsupport.com. Golfalot.com places it as one of two mallets in the Midlock range, which situates this release as part of a small, purpose-built sub-line rather than a standalone model.

The defining feature across the editorial record is the grip and setup built around it. Golfsupport.com describes the Midlock grip as using the deepest pistol dimensions allowed by the USGA, while golfmagic.com simply refers to it as the Midlock Grip. Length figures differ slightly between sources: golfsupport.com lists 39, 40, and 41 inch options, while golfmagic.com cites 40 inches specifically. Golfmagic.com also notes a long slant neck hosel, a black shaft and paint fill, and Sweet Face Technology on the hitting surface, and reports the putter as available in March. Milling is credited to Carlsbad, California by golfmagic.com, with golfsupport.com noting the broader manufacturing origin as the USA. Golfalot.com lists an MSRP of 399.

Set against the ER8 line's earlier documented form, the standard ER8 mallet as described on Evnroll's own product pages carries a red pistol grip, a flow neck heel hosel, and 2 degrees of loft from the shaft, which is a different loft figure and a different grip and neck arrangement than what's reported for the 2021 Midlock version. That contrast is worth noting for anyone comparing the two: the Midlock trades the maker's original stock grip and neck for the deeper-pistol grip and slant neck the later editorial sources describe, alongside a higher stated loft.
