Evnroll vs Scotty Cameron Putters: Head To Head Comparison

Choosing between Evnroll and Scotty Cameron is one of the most common debates you’ll find on golf forums and in pro shop fitting bays. Both brands command premium prices and loyal followings, but they deliver performance through fundamentally different approaches.

Our staff of experts, including PGA Tour Professional John VanDerLaan, breaks down the differences between EvnRoll putters and Scotty Cameron putters so that you can decide which one is right for you.

Brand Background: Evnroll and Scotty Cameron in context

Understanding each brand’s philosophy helps explain how their putters perform and feel on the course.

Scotty Cameron built his reputation starting in the early 1990s as a boutique putter maker before partnering with Titleist in 1994. The brand now operates under the Acushnet umbrella alongside Titleist, FootJoy, Vokey Design, and Pinnacle. Scotty’s presence on the PGA Tour is undeniable—Newport and Newport 2 style blades have contributed to multiple major championship wins since the late 1990s, cementing the “tour-proven” image that many players love.

Evnroll took a different path. Founded by Guerin Rife in Carlsbad, California around 2015-2016, the brand was built around “Sweet Face” technology first patented in the mid-2010s. Unlike Scotty Cameron, Evnroll remains independent and positions itself as an innovation-driven alternative focused specifically on roll consistency and distance control. Evnroll also designed and manufacture a heavy, counterbalanced grip called the Gravity Grip. Many players find they have much more control when using the Gravity Grip.

The contrast is clear:

• Scotty Cameron = heritage, craftsmanship, tour cachet
• Evnroll = technology, consistency, engineering-driven performance

Design philosophy and technology

Though both brands produce 100% milled putters, they approach performance in fundamentally different ways.

Scotty Cameron’s approach

Scotty Cameron models like the Super Select Newport 2 and Super Select Newport + feature solid 303 stainless steel construction with meticulous attention to traditional milling patterns. Key design elements include:

• Multimaterial sole plates and tungsten weights in select heads for stability
• Refined shapes with sleek toplines that appeal to purists
• Traditional face milling prioritizing feel over aggressive groove technology
• The Special Select Squareback 2 blends blade aesthetics with a wider body and plumbing neck for added stability

Evnroll’s approach

Evnroll’s “Sweet Face” technology represents a different philosophy entirely. Models like the ER2 and Neo Classic ER2 feature variable groove spacing and depth across the face. This design means:

• Off-center strikes roll similar distances to center hits
• Ball tracks back toward the intended line on mishits
• Precise 303 stainless milling with a more modern visual identity
• Bold alignment lines and thicker toplines on some models prioritize performance over classic looks

The core contrast comes down to this: Scotty Cameron emphasizes pure milled feel and shape refinement, while Evnroll focuses on face-technology-driven performance and forgiveness.

Scotty Cameron putters are basically the “Cadillac” of the golfing/putting world. They are the luxury brand against which all other entries are measured. Scotty uses top-end materials and emphasize style as much as playability, and are coveted equally for both.

With a Cameron putter you are going to see an emphasis on 100% CNC milling except on more elaborate designs that use multiple materials. This is the technology that broke Scotty into the industry and allowed him to make his mark on TOUR. Meanwhile, several other high-dollar putter companies have created 100% CNC-milled german steel putters, but they don’t quite have the cachet of the Scotty Cameron brand.

Feel, sound and feedback

For many golfers, feel and sound matter as much as measurable performance. This is where personal preference plays a major role.

Scotty Cameron feel profile

Scotty Cameron putters typically deliver a soft-but-solid sensation with a muted “click” at impact. The Super Select Newport 2 and Squareback 2 exemplify this characteristic. Contributing factors include:

• Stainless steel heads with interchangeable sole weights

• Milled face patterns refined over decades

• Thinner toplines and compact face heights that enhance perceived precision at address

Many players equate this precision at address with better feel and more confidence over the ball.

Evnroll feel profile

Evnroll’s feel varies across models but generally sits between soft and firm depending on groove depth. User feedback suggests:

• Some ER models produce a slightly higher-pitched sound compared to the more muted TaylorMade Spider or certain Scotty Camerons

• The variable groove design creates a feel some describe as “softer” than traditional milled faces

• Players who switched from TaylorMade Spider or Scotty to Evnroll ER2 reported better roll and distance control, even if they initially preferred the sound of their old putter

Recommendation: Test both putters in person. Sound and feel preference is highly individual—neither brand is objectively “better” here. What matters is which one makes you feel more confident standing over your putts.

Performance and Forgiveness

We had our staff test both the Evnroll putters and the Scotty Cameron putters for performance and forgiveness. The results came down to who was doing the testing.

PGA Tour professional, John VanDerLaan ranked the Scotty Camerons to be the top performing putters.

High handicappers ranked the EvnRoll putters to be more forgiving and better performing.

Each tester ranked the putters on a scale of 1-10. You can see the results below.

As you can see, the better players prefered the performance of the Scotty over the EvnRoll. The mid and high handicappers prefered the Evnroll, but all testers agreed that the EvnRoll putters were the most forgiving.

Who each brand is best for (and who should look elsewhere)

This practical buyer’s guide matches golfer profiles to brand strengths.

Evnroll: Who it’s for and who it’s not for

Choose Evnroll if you:

• Want measurable gains in make-percentage from 5–10 feet
• Care more about tech-driven performance than tour branding
• Have struggled with distance control on mishits with traditional milled blades
• Are comfortable with modern alignment aids and slightly less “classic” looks

Evnroll may not suit you if:

• You’re extremely sensitive to higher-pitched or “tinny” sound in some models
• Your main issue is 20-foot-plus lag putting (given ER2’s weaker performance at that distance)
• You don’t want to spend $400+ on a putter regardless of performance gains

Personally, if making 10-footers matters more to you than owning the most famous name in your bag, Evnroll deserves serious consideration.

Scotty Cameron: Who it’s for and who it’s not for

Choose Scotty Cameron if you:

• Prioritize traditional milled feel, clean shapes, and premium finishes
• Want a putter that visually matches the rest of your Titleist/Acushnet club set
• Value long-term resale and collectability with classic Newport and Squareback designs
• Create your own consistent roll and don’t rely heavily on face technology for forgiveness

Scotty may not suit you if:

• You’re specifically seeking performance gains at 5–10 feet after struggling with blade-style Cameron models
• You consistently mishit across the face and need maximum ball-speed correction
• You want the absolute best performance per dollar rather than brand prestige

I’ve heard from a lot of players on forums and in comments sections who switched away from Scotty simply because they found they were making more putts with other options. Brand loyalty only goes so far when your scorecard suffers.

Evnroll ER2 vs Scotty Cameron Squareback

RELATED: Kirkland Putter vs Scotty Cameron

One popular putter head style is the squareback. It also happens to be one of the specialties of both Scotty Cameron and Evnroll putters. Let's take a look at these two putters, examine their differences, as well as their similarities.

Evnroll ER2 Overview

The ER2 is Evnroll’s version of the “wide blade” putter. A wide blade putter is essentially exactly what it sounds like - a blade putter who's characteristics have been stretched wider. They are a middle ground putter between a true blade and a mallet style. This provides more weight in the putter head, more stability, and more support while staying in a blade head shape.

Scotty Cameron Squareback Overview

Scotty Cameron’s Squareback is their extension of the Newport design. This means that it is very similar to their classic blade designs, but the back flange is extended a little bit - giving it a “square back” head shape.

While the head obviously isn’t truly a square - that would make it an egregiously large mallet, like the LAB Directed Force 2.1 - the putter represents the subtlest entry possible into the “mid mallet” category - while still masquerading as a blade.

Who Should Use An Evnroll ER2 Putter

The short answer is anyone who wants to putt better.

Both of these putters have a fair amount of toe hang, so they would work best for a golfer with an arc putting stroke.

The main advantage of an ER2 over a squareback is you’re going to get Evnroll’s face groove technology. This makes it a great choice for the player who wants to emphasize distance control on off-center hits or speed control overall, or for the player who wants to not worry about off-center hits robbing them of makes.

Overall, the ER2 is going to be a very, very similar putter to the squareback, as they are modeled to be nearly identical. However, other than the face grooves, many other small differences can be noted - including the exact grip and head weight balance as well as the loft of the putter face - that might cause an otherwise very similar putter to perform differently.

Who Should Use A Scotty Cameron Squareback Putter

The squareback from is a great putter for a golfer who is accustomed to the look and feel of a blade putter, but wants to add a little bit more weight and stability without changing brands or going to a completely different design in a mallet.

This is what mid-mallets were invented for, and Scotty has put his stamp on the highest-quality version possible. This putter doesn’t have the Evnroll face groove technology, but golfers worldwide can attest that nothing feels as good as a Scotty Cameron when hit center-face.

Bottom Line And Final Verdict

Evnroll generally leads in off-center performance and short-to-mid-range putting stats, while Scotty Cameron leads in heritage, feel, and long-term desirability. Neither is a bad choice—they’re both great putter options that justify their price tags.

Key takeaways:

• Evnroll Neo Classic ER2 was named best blade in 2024 testing among 39 putters
• Scotty Cameron Super Select Newport + ranked among the weakest in that specific test
• The Scotty Special Select Squareback 2 performs notably better than the Newport + for many golfers
• Both brands sit in the same price tier, so the choice is about priorities, not money

Final recommendations:

If your main goal is making more putts inside 10 feet with maximum forgiveness, test Evnroll models first. The technology is proven and the results speak for themselves.

If you care most about timeless looks, soft-solid feel, and the cachet of a Cameron in the bag, a properly fitted Scotty (especially the Newport 2 or Squareback 2) remains a compelling choice. Just be curious enough to check whether you’re buying the prestige or the performance.

The other thing that limits Evnroll is that the thing that separates them from the other high-performance brands is that their flagship technology caters towards game improvement, like the LAB DF3 putter and the LAB Oz putters. The facetious professional might say “if I hit the center of the face every single time, why do I care what it does on off-center hits?” Whether or not that pro could benefit still is debatable, but the target market isn’t exactly guys walking around with a pea-sized wear pattern on their putter face.

Either way, test both brands side by side on 5, 10, and 20-foot putts before you buy. The putter that gives you confidence and helps you improve your scores is the right one for your game—regardless of what the world says about which brand is “better.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Do any tour pros use Evnroll?

Evnroll does not have a huge presence on the major tours. It is notable however that champions such as Lexi Thompson, Ian Poulter, and Lucas Glover have used Evnroll putters in competition. Evnroll is not as active in seeking out full-time TOUR sponsorships as their competitors, but they do reportedly pay a bonus for players who win with their club in the bag.

Are Evnroll Putters Worth It?

Evnroll putters are some of the most expensive on the market, rivaling brands such as Scotty Cameron and Bettinardi. This makes the question of whether or not they are worth it very fair, especially since you don’t see their products in the hands of professionals as often as some of their competitors.

Evnroll does everything to stay in lock-step with the other high-end products on the market. They use the same materials, the same manufacturing techniques, and assemble their products in Carlsbad, CA, USA. The products stack up completely against the other $400+ putters on the market and are ostensibly just as good in every way, except without the TOUR sponsorships.

It’s a great buy and definitely worth it for anyone who wants to invest in a top-of-the-line putter, especially if performance on off-center hits is something they struggle with from other manufacturers..
