Evnroll is on a roll these days and celebrating the honor of being selected as the most wanted mallet for 2018 by independent tester MYGOLFSPY. Jeff Clarke, General Manager of Evnroll in Canada said “for the second year in a row, ER 3 tops the podium for both styles of putters.”
MyGolfSpy accepts $0 advertising dollars from any of the major golf manufacturers and tries to take the guesswork out of buying a putter. All of the major brands, and then some are tested. Mygolfspy tests for performance and eliminates all the marketing propaganda.
In 2018, they improved the scoring metrics to formulate the TRUERank for each putter. The top-ranked putter is that which finished in the statistically significant top group for the largest number of testers.
THE MYGOLFSPY DIFFERENCE
2018’s Most Wanted Blade test is the largest, fully independent putter test conducted in the industry.
This year’s test took place at the MGS Test Facility. 20 testers participated. 26 blade-style putters were tested. Testing took more than 120 hours to complete with 14,695 total putts recorded. All testers used Bridgestone Tour B-RX Golf Balls.
Each putter is put through a comprehensive test consisting of a series of putts from distances of 5, 10 and 20 feet. The 20 testers putt the equivalent of 18 holes with each putter. The total number of putts required to finish each hole with each putter is recorded.
Next, the top performing club (the one with the fewest total putts) for each tester is identified. Then, for each golfer, using a 90% confidence interval, they identify any other putters for which the total number of putts is not reliably different from the top performer. The number of putters in this statistical top group varies between testers. For some testers, there is a single statistically significant best, while for others, more than half the field is shown not to be reliably different from an individual’s top performer.
The Most Wanted winner is the club that finishes in the statistically significant top group for the greatest percentage of the testers. The TRUERank; a metric includes the order of finish (rank), along with the percentage of golfers for whom each club was shown to be in the statistical top group.
