I am most excited about a JBeam head with "improved acoustics."

Sound at impact has always been a deal-breaker for me with JBeam heads of the past.

With that cavity construction, there is less space inside the head where sound can resonate,

so I can believe how the sound could be drastically different from previous models.

Face looks similar to the ZY11

Face looks very similar to my Bridgestone. Lol.

Sound on the ZY11 is perfect. Nothing to complain here.

Hard to tell what the actual sound will be, but it sounds pretty muted "thud" from the video.

I need to visit that shop on my next trip to Japan. When I was into large OEM clubs I used to regularly drive past it to the GOLF5 shop down the road....

was in the Nagoya area. The shop is in Kasugai city on a kokudou.

I've been to Reflex, you don't want to go it's a super tiny shop with almost nothing in it.

In about 5 minutes your scratching your head as to why you visited.

Sounds like most custom club fitter shops in Japan then! For me the second hand shops that specialize in boutique brands are the real Aladdin's Caves...

Should be playing at Kasugai Country in a month so may pop in on my way home.

Awesome!

Would like to see a direct comparo between zy11 from a performance perspective !

I guess I am not 100% sure of what loft to choose with this.

This actually looks better than I previously thought.

Currently playing ZY-11 and it just goes straight. Bet this ZY-7 will not differ. Just curious what's the main difference between both...

Looking at the placement of the weight I suspect a more forward cg position.

And an adjustability of the CG height , I suspect added forgiveness because of the cavity structure. ( similar to Nike drivers )

I also was not a big fan of the dead wooden sound that the foamed ZY-11 produced...

Hoping that the ZY-7 will be better sounding and without foam.

My new L01 will not be ready for another 2-3 weeks so I'm shafting it up with the YZ-Speed shaft by Jbeam and plan to give it a go on the 22nd.

May is the official release, TSG has pre-ordered a bunch as already people are snapping these up.
