Posted October 25, 20159 yr comment_248948 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.
October 25, 20159 yr comment_248953 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 ???)

October 25, 20159 yr comment_248967 The cut-outs look a little like what Nike seems to be pursuing with drivers. Curious what the benefits are.
October 26, 20159 yr comment_248974 this design seems to be the latest and greatest. about as opposite to the ryoma d1 theory as u can get ???
October 26, 20159 yr Author comment_248978 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.
October 26, 20159 yr comment_248982 Funky design. Can't wait to see the face and top profiles Me either!
October 26, 20159 yr comment_248983 This look like a real beast. I look forward to seeing / hearing more about it!
October 27, 20159 yr comment_249044 Not my cup of tea. But I still want to hit it haha Thats what i often say when I'm at a Strip Club
February 29, 20168 yr Author comment_254093 Any updates on this? It's early 2016 already :) This one was just a prototype, no release scheduled or expected.
March 2, 20168 yr comment_254227 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.
March 2, 20168 yr comment_254229 would they actually go thru the trouble of R&A registration if they weren't gonna release it?
March 2, 20168 yr Author comment_254232 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.
March 21, 20168 yr comment_254995 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
March 21, 20168 yr Author comment_255000 we have a may announcement with June release as confirmed just a week ago from J Beam.
March 31, 20168 yr comment_255333 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?
March 31, 20168 yr comment_255335 130mph swing speed and 186mph ball speed?!? Jeez arse I would love to have those numbers.

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.
