Zero-torque putters have become one of the biggest equipment stories in golf over the last few years. The basic concept is familiar by now: position the shaft axis through, or very near, the putter’s center of gravity and the head has less tendency to rotate during the stroke.
Evnroll already has a robust stable of zero-torque options, but its latest release takes a different approach.
The new Evnroll EZPZ is built around what the company calls Reverse Torque Technology. Rather than trying to eliminate torque, Guerin Rife is intentionally creating a different balance condition designed to slow the rate at which the putter face rotates.
What makes the EZPZ interesting is how Evnroll gets there. An inward-leaning hosel positions the shaft slightly toward the toe while placing more of the head’s mass on the heel side of the shaft axis. The goal is to influence how quickly the face rotates while preserving a more familiar setup, offset and stroke.
Reverse Torque Versus Zero Torque
It helps to start with what EZPZ isn’t.
In a zero-torque putter, the relationship between the shaft axis and center of gravity is designed to minimize the rotational forces acting on the head. EZPZ isn’t trying to reproduce that geometry.
Instead, its patent-pending hosel positions the shaft slightly toe-ward of the center of mass. Evnroll says roughly 60 percent of the head’s mass sits below the shaft axis on the heel side, creating what it describes as a heel-down balance condition.
At first glance, heel-down and the toe-up balance associated with many zero-torque putters can sound like two ways of describing the same thing. The important distinction is what the putter is designed to do dynamically during the stroke.
Zero torque tries to neutralize rotational forces. Reverse Torque allows the face to rotate with a natural arc, but it attempts to make that rotation happen more slowly by creating additional heel-side momentum. That’s the “reverse” in Reverse Torque.
Why Slow Face Rotation?
A putter face doesn’t remain perfectly square to the target line throughout a normal putting stroke. For most golfers, it opens somewhat going back and closes as it returns toward impact, and there’s nothing wrong with that. A slight arc is completely normal.
Evnroll’s concern is the rate of rotation through the hitting area. The faster the face is opening and closing, the smaller the window becomes for it to return to the intended orientation at impact.
The company claims EZPZ can keep the face square to the target line for up to twice as long as a traditional putter. That’s Evnroll’s testing claim, and it’ll be one of the more interesting things to evaluate once we have the putter in hand.
The important thing is that EZPZ isn’t trying to lock the face square. It’s still designed to work with the slight arc used by most golfers. Evnroll is simply trying to slow the rate at which that rotation happens.
That Hosel Is Doing a Lot of Work
One of the most visually interesting parts of EZPZ is the hosel. Its inward lean is necessary because Evnroll needs the shaft axis positioned toe-ward of the center of mass while still creating an address position and offset that feel more familiar to golfers.
“While reducing torque is a good thing, I believe ‘reversing torque’ is even better,” Rife said. “Reverse Torque allows golfers to keep the familiar look and setup of a traditional putter while naturally slowing face rotation through impact.”
Evnroll isn’t rejecting the stability benefits that have made zero torque popular. Instead, the company is trying to reach a similar goal without asking golfers to adapt to the same setup characteristics.
Stability Comes From More Than Torque
Torque is only part of the EZPZ design. The head shape itself will look familiar because it’s based on Evnroll’s ER10 high-MOI mallet.
That shape already uses perimeter weighting to help the head resist twisting on off-center strikes. EZPZ takes that stable platform and adds another layer by trying to manage how quickly the face rotates during the stroke.
Those two forms of stability address different problems.A golfer can deliver the face square and still miss the center of the putter. Likewise, a centered strike won’t help much if the face is pointed away from the intended starting line.
That makes the ER10 shape a logical starting point for EZPZ. The chassis already provides off-center stability, while Reverse Torque is intended to improve face control during the stroke.
SweetFace 2.0
Evnroll also includes SweetFace 2.0, its groove system designed to equalize energy transfer across the face for more consistent distance and roll on mishits.
In simple terms, EZPZ is attacking consistency in three ways: controlling face rotation, increasing resistance to twisting and managing ball speed across the face.
Evnroll EZPZ Pricing and Availability
The Evnroll EZPZ Reverse Torque Putter will be available beginning August 15, 2026, with an MSRP of $449. Right-handed models will be offered in 33-, 34- and 35-inch lengths, along with a 38-inch Tour Spec configuration. Left-handed models are expected in winter 2026.
Each EZPZ comes standard with a UST Mamiya ALL-IN multi-material putter shaft. Standard-length models use the Evnroll Tour Tac Pistol Grip, while the 38-inch Tour Spec version receives a 17-inch grip.
