Yes, there is the metal rod that runs through it, I do have a weight in the superstroke, but I will have to do the math to see if it is close. I do not think it is enough, but I will check, because I bought it for a different setup. Do you think if I add lead tape under the grip it would help, or would I need to get the bigger weight?

I'm not sure, I did not check. I do not feel a massive difference, but I am horrible at feeling those things.  I think I got very used to the feeling of my palm to target, and I may need to check my hand placement. I may see if my local store can check swing weight.  

Very solid reviews by all.  A lot of the reviews mirror my own experience when I picked up a used ER7.  I've had it in the bag for about a year and really love it.  Still thinking about trying a V, but at my last fitting the SAM lab showed I had good consistency with mine and that it fit my slight arc stroke well enough so I haven't pulled the trigger yet, but would be interested in trying out the ER11v head.

Rough round today as far as off the greens go, but no 3 putts today. I was a lag putting machine today, and inside 4 feet was automatic! Even made 2 from 10’+, safe to say this is going to stay in my bag. 

Fitting Part 2:
Well all, as I eluded to during my intro and fitting part 1 (which can be found here: https://forum.mygolfspy.com/tests/19-testers-announced-titleist-t-series-irons/?do=findReview&review=38), I wanted to reveal what shaft I ended up going with.  Just a quick recap if you don't want to click and read the initial fitting write up for me. 
Currently play Mizuno MP-20s PX 5.5 shafts in the MP-20s Standard Length, Loft and Lie setup for MP-20s So, I went into the fitting without any preconceived notion as to what shaft would work best for me.  I defaulted to PX 5.5s in my previous iron sets because, well that's what I've played for years.  During the fitting, I found out that the PX 5.5 shafts no longer fit my swing, and probably hasn't fitted my swing for years😮☹️...so ladies and gentlemen, here are the launch numbers for each shaft I tested...
 
Trajectory of all shafts tested:

 
Dispersion:

 
Current MP-20 Shaft: PX-5.5:

 
Shafts eliminated from consideration:

 
And then there were two:

Kevin, the fitter, with my input, helped me narrow down the shaft choices to the Aerotech Steelfiber i95s and the  AMT RED Regular shafts. I hit both shafts again and here were my thoughts.  First thought was, what the heck!  I'm now being fitted for REGULAR flex shafts! But...but I've always played stiff shafts! Apparently father time has caught up with me and regular shafts maximize my slowing swing.  Between the two, the numbers were close with some faster club head speeds being generated with the Steelfiber I95s, BUT, I found, especially towards the end of the iron shaft testing, I felt like I had to swing the Steelfibers a bit harder to get the  same numbers I would of with the AMT RED.  The AMT RED felt effortless when I was swinging it, even after some 90+ swings that I had made.  What I didn't want to have in an iron shaft was to swing harder when getting tired towards the end of a round.  So there you have it folks, I could of gotten the most exotic vibranium carbon fiber with hints of badger shafts for the T200s but was fit into the AMT RED shaft in regular flex no less (which is one of the many standard shafts Titleist provides).  I was also fitted for standard length, loft and lie.  I'm feeling really good about this fitting and excited to see how this translates onto course play!
Interesting stats from the fitting:
Average club head speed increased by 2.9 MPH going from the stiff PX 5.5 shaft to the AMT RED in regular flex Average ball speed increased by 8.2 MPH Average smash factor went up by .06 Average spin rate went down 405 RPM Average carry increased 16 yards and overall distance went up 16.4 yards So my final take away is get fitted by a professional fitter and watch better numbers come out from just getting the right equipment that compliments your swing!

Excited to follow this one, I love the way the T100 and T200 look. I'm saving up for irons now, and these are definitely at the top of the list.

Well folks, the T200s will be in hand on Tuesday!  I'll be glad to answer any questions and I'll be posting a bunch of photos too. Thanks again to Titleist and MGS for  this testing opportunity!

@cjeffs12 the look of the Titleist irons are 🔥. I'm testing the T200s and hit them during a fitting and they felt awesome (with the added plus of extra distance and forgiveness too!)

Nice job testers!  Looks like a clean sweep for you all keeping it in the bag.  I can't say I blame any of you.  I love my ER2B and you all were seeing some great on-course results!  

Awesome reviews all! Love the details and pics, and it's fantastic to see gear that really works across the board for everyone. Thanks for all of your work in putting these thorough posts together.

great job testers really enjoyed all the reviews .. def going to look into the evnroll putters next time I am looking to switch out.

***Please excuse the dog hair, my lab loves laying on my mat*** 

My course putting green is still closed, so I’m working on my stroke at home. This is probably my second favorite training aide, only behind Superspeed.

My course sanded the greens, so I’m still waiting for it to somewhat smooth out. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

I played 18 at Cottonwood Hills in Bozeman on Thursday and shot a hard fought 91 😒. While the pin locations, according to the two members I played with, were in some of the most challenging positions they'd seen in some time, it was my worst putting performance in awhile 35 putts which include three 3 putts 😦.  Lag performance was particularly bad but the pins on top of knolls definitely contributed... misses amplified. I'm chalking it up to simply being an off day.  
One thing I can share about the ER5v is its ability to scoop balls.  Not quite as proficient as the B61 design (a ball scooping machine), but with a little practice, it works.  It's a feature/capability I've grown accustom to using for 30 years now and would miss.

To say I’m absolutely in love with my #CustomER ER1v would be a huge understatement. Two rounds in the books and it has taken my putting to a level I’ve never seen before 
 

Yeah, its a great claim and the few videos I’ve seen showed the same results.  I guess all the testers could do is try it replicate it, but much like the MGS Ball Test, I think that one is best handled by a robot.  So other than re-creating the test to prove the didn’t do any video trickery I don’t see a real test to do.  As an aside, I do feel that my putts have ended up close to the hole and more on track vs my old putter.  Hopefully the testers will see the same and better with the Fuji shafts too!
