Thats a interesting design, it appears to move the Cog forward.....Hmmmmm i have a huge weight in the rear of my ZY11 right now and i seem to prefer that.....having all the weight up in the face makes for a very low spin / low launch driver......Jbeams weighting system allows for some pretty big changes.......i can adjust from D1-E2

(Although i am only manipulating about a 20g difference, and expect a 7 SW max difference, I am seeing a 11SW difference ???)

The cut-outs look a little like what Nike seems to be pursuing with drivers. Curious what the benefits are.

With no official comments from J-Beam yet it does look the opposite of Ryoma's 60g power booster weight in the rear but the Ryoma is also for a different group. Anything ZY I would say the player will have to have enough power that low spin is a benefit, a lot of slower swingers don't do well with low spin heads which I've seen first hand. Its somewhere around 90-95 depending on tempo that we see the ZY or Blackout start doing its best work.

Any updates on this? It's early 2016 already :)

This one was just a prototype, no release scheduled or expected.

Thanks for the reply. I was going of the statement in the OP that reads "release date is early 2016." It's also been added to the USGA conforming clubs list for a while. Really looking forward to this Driver.

would they actually go thru the trouble of R&A registration if they weren't gonna release it?

It's only a hundred bucks to do so.

It's not off the table, we were just told nothing when we paid them a visit a few days ago.

Hope I'm not breaking any rules. Some chatter in Korea that the ZY-7 will be released May 2016. I'm so looking forward to this Driver. From what I've heard, it's even lower spin than ZY-11 but more forgiving with better acoustics.

Any pictures of the faces? I play the 435 blackout now and was hopping this might bring down my spin numbers.

My blackout is 9* square

Trpx 75x. Sx (swing speed 112 ish)

all weight in front

D4.5

45"

I love the feel and sound of this set up but still getting spin numbers around 3000

Any suggestions?

Shaft is next, ZY-11 already spins very low - the most spin redcuing can be found by 7D but also the AAA does a pretty good job as well.
