Z1

The Evnroll Z1 arrived in 2022 as part of the Zero line, and Australian Golf Digest describes it in overlapping terms: a modern mallet, a widebody blade, an extreme-stability mallet. The head design centers on an opening formed by a back bar joining parallel heel and toe arms, with a ball-shaped hole in the center, according to that same outlet. Plugged In Golf calls it a winged modern mallet with a zero torque design. The reverse offset, face-forward hosel, described by Australian Golf Digest as a crank neck or plumber's-neck design, and by Plugged In Golf as a backward plumbers neck, is the putter's defining and most divisive feature.

Where materials are concerned, Australian Golf Digest's reporting is inconsistent within itself, at points describing the face and head as milled from 6061 aluminum, at others from 303 stainless steel, and elsewhere suggesting the choice depends on the design. Sole weighting is reported by that same outlet as tungsten and steel pieces in the front heel and toe, sometimes specified as two 85 gram weights, meant to push the center of gravity forward and improve heel-toe perimeter stability. Plugged In Golf notes a medium volume tock at center contact that shifts brighter and toward a tick on toe strikes, with the heel sound described as less crisp. Pricing is reported at $450 by Australian Golf Digest and at $449 by Plugged In Golf. Australian Golf Digest also reports a rollout of pre-sale availability October 1 and retail October 31.

Community sentiment splits along a predictable line. Plugged In Golf's review praised the feel as soft and the performance as consistent, calling the craftsmanship excellent. Independent Golf Reviews liked the results but struggled with the reverse offset hosel for alignment purposes, a tension that shows up again in the maker's own product page, where a buyer's account calls the head very stable through impact and praises the alignment aids for making it easy to get the line correct, while also describing initial wariness about the counterbalanced steel rod and weight in the shaft before coming around to it. That same account calls the feel off the face the softest they'd felt on a milled putter, softer than a Scotty Cameron Phantom X 6, though not quite matching an Odyssey 11 by their measure.
