Evnroll V-Series Putter Review: 2022 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway DAY 5

I've tested and played three different Evnroll V-Series milled putters over the past year.  And with each putter my immediate impressions were exactly the same.  I can see V-Series as the kind of putters someone uses just one time and then doesn't even consider trying anything else afterwards.  They're really that good.

Let's start Day 1 of my PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas this year with a choice for you!  You can choose any model of my favorite FootJoy shoes of all time, The Premiere Series.  Heck, even Tiger Woods is wearing FJ Premiere now.  Each shoe in this series - The Tarlow, the Flint, the Packard, and the Field all get my highest praise with exquisite details, hypnotizing beauty, and unrestrained performance.  Absolute proof golf shoes really can make your mouth water.

Or you can also choose the sporty and very popular spikeless FootJoy Fuel golf shoes.  You probably saw Max Homa, Will Zalatoris, and Jessica Korda wearing Fuel regularly throughout this past season.
