myvicto E-Series Putter Review (With Lots of Pictures)

I’ve had my putting struggles over the years. I’ve changed putters, I’ve changed grips, I’ve changed technique. Nothing has made me feel very comfortable standing over the ball.

Most putters have a flat face. One thing I haven’t tried is a putter with a curved face. There have been putters like this in the past, but they haven’t been able to catch on too well.

The latest brand throwing their hat in the ring is myvicto, a swiss company.

Not only do they offer putters with a curved face, but they also offer a lot of customization. You can change the head shape, length, weight, alignment, and a few other things.

I’ve been using the myvicto putter for over a month now, so I’ll be sharing my honest thoughts in this review. I’ll talk about the pros, the cons, and if it’s something you should consider.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Having used the myvicto for 8+ rounds of golf, I don’t think the curved face is right for me. I had a tough time with alignment and distance control, which is likely user-error. Other than not being able to try the putter before you buy, the biggest thing for me was that the ball would often bounce at impact, so I didn’t get the smooth and straight roll off the face.

The Intro

I’ve never believed that a $500 putter would sink more putts than a $50 putter. I’ve also never believed that the huge modern-day putters sink more putts than a traditional blade.

Picking a putter is all about feel. I don’t remember the exact quote or who said it, but it was something along the lines of “you don’t choose your putter, your putter chooses you.”

Throw price, shape, length, and whatever else aside. You need to hold a bunch of different putters to see what feels the best. This is how you gain confidence on the greens.

Aside from that, you also need a putter that rolls smoothly down your line. The putter shaft and alignment lines play a roll, but there is another factor.

The average golfer doesn’t strike the ball consistently, even on the greens. Maybe they hit one off the heel, maybe they have a downward strike, maybe it’s perfect.

This can cause inconsistent results. Differing speeds, pushes/pulls, or even putts that bounce/skid.

myvicto believes that a putter with a curved face can solve a lot of these problems. A curved face has different lofts, depending on where you make contact. This, in theory, should help compensate for mishits and give you a more forgiving roll.

The Design

What I like about myvicto is that almost everything is customizable. There are 6 head designs to pick from, 3 mallets, 1 blade, and 2 somewhere in the middle.

The one I went with was the E-Series mallet, which is probably the one closest to other popular mallets (the Taylormade Spider, for example).

You also have a bunch of colors to pick from. I’m more of a basic guy, but if you like brighter colors you’ll be covered. You can also pick the shaft color, which is pretty cool.

The next thing you have to pick is the shaft position. Options include direct, offset, center, and zero torque. The one you pick will depend on your putting stroke.

In general, direct, center, and zero torque are better for straight-back, straight-through putting strokes. Offset is better if you putt on an arc (open and close the face).

I had never tried zero torque before so it’s the one I went with (my putter before used a direct shaft). The basic idea is that zero torque eliminates the amount of twisting at impact.

After that, you’ll have to pick what type of alignment line you want. In theory, the longer the line, the easier it’ll be to align properly. That’s why I went with the long, single line.

You can also pick what you want for weight, lie, length, grip, and any logo/text you want.

Overall, it’s cool being able to customization everything. That said, not being able to get your hands on the putter beforehand is a pretty big downside.

The Looks & Feel

I can’t stress enough how important it is to use a putter that feels good. Having confidence on the green is a huge factor in how well you putt. And I’m sure you know, how well you putt is everything in golf.

The first thing I thought after taking it out of the box was that it looks and feels solid, really solid. It’s definitely on par with putters you’d get from Taylormade and Odyssey.

The second thing I noticed was that it was quite heavy. This is a personal preference and everyone will be different. If I were to go back, I’d probably get 10 or 20 gram weights.

At address, the curved face becomes very clear. I found it very unusual and it did take me quite a while to get comfortable with it. I almost felt like I needed to add a good amount of forward shaft lean to get the face to sit where I felt comfortable.

As for the sound and feel, I would sum it up in two words: firm and fast. Compared to my previous putter, the myvicto sounded a bit more high-pitched and the ball came off the face with some pace.

The Performance

For long putts, I’m looking for something that gives me good distance control. For short putts, I’m looking for putts that start on-line and roll smooth.

I figured the best way to test it was to compare it to my previous putter. I used the myvicto for probably 8 rounds before doing the test to get comfortable with it.

Here’s how I tested the putters:

1. Warmed up with myvicto for 10-15 minutes
2. Hit 12 putts from 6 feet
3. Hit 12 putts from 24 feet
4. Warmed up with old putter for 10-15 minutes
5. Repeated the same test

My goal with the 6 foot putts was to see how many I made. Here were the results:

I sunk half the shots with each putter so this was a tie.

I moved to 24 feet and did the test again. Rather than trying to make the putt, I wanted to see if I could get the ball within a 3 foot radius of the hole. Here were the results:

This is where there was a noticeable difference between the putters. With my old Cobra, I was able to get 3 more putts within a 3 foot circle of the hole, which could save me a couple of shots per round.

Here are the things I noticed after doing the test and using the myvicto for over a month:

1. I missed a lot of putts left and right (lipped out)
2. I missed a lot of putts long
3. The ball would jump off the face 1-2 times per round and leave the ground

#1 is likely user-error. I noticed that a lot of my putts were barely missing the hole, both left and right. If it were one side consistently, I’d say it’s likely the wrong shaft position. That’s not the case though, so it’s likely an issue with my alignment.

#2 is also probably user-error. I found a lot of my putts went pretty far past the hole. The only thing I can think of is that the weight of the putter put more force into the ball.

#3 is the one that I don’t think is user-error. At least once per round, I’d hit a putt and the ball would jump off the ground. I messed around with different hand positions (forward/backward shaft lean) and I just couldn’t figure it out.

The Bottom Line

Having used the myvicto for over a month and doing the test against my previous putter, I don’t think the curved face is right for me.

I love the way the putter feels in my hands. I love all the customization that can be done.

That said, I had a really tough time getting the face in a position that felt square. I also had a tough time getting the ball to roll flat on the ground. I used it for quite a while and tried different things, I just couldn’t get the results I wanted.

The biggest downside I have with this putter is that you can’t use it before you buy it. I wish I could have tried the different models and was able to maybe change the specs to better fit my stroke.

I’m a big believer that you need to try different putters to see what feels right, a lot more so than other clubs.

I’m not saying the curved face won’t be right for you, I just don’t think it’s right for me. If you are still interested, I’d highly recommend trying a curved face putter before you buy one.

Note: I’ll continue using this putter to see if I can figure it out. If I do, I’ll be sure to update this article.
