+TourSpecGolfer Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Sneak peak of the prototype ZY-7 Driver by J-Beam Golf spotted in the bag of long drive champion Yasuhiro Yamazaki. TSG will have a few in advance prior to release so stay tuned for more information, release date is early 2016. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbie Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) 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 ???)

RLL33 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 The cut-outs look a little like what Nike seems to be pursuing with drivers. Curious what the benefits are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 this design seems to be the latest and greatest. about as opposite to the ryoma d1 theory as u can get ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MahanFan Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 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.

nobmontana Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 would they actually go thru the trouble of R&A registration if they weren't gonna release it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MahanFan Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 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. http://websta.me/p/1193472474354685425_2839666924 http://websta.me/p/1188285743074514059_2839666924 http://websta.me/p/1188293324513875244_2839666924 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nil114 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 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.
