March 31, 20168 yr The ZY-7 looks more shallow than the ZY-11. Are these really coming to retail soon? (excited)
March 31, 20168 yr 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.
April 1, 20168 yr Author Yes may is the official announcment and june is the release and what you see in these photos are not final.
April 14, 20168 yr Looks like demo units are starting make it to the shops!! Great looking head at address!! http://ameblo.jp/reflexgolf/entry-12149192988.html?frm_src=thumb_module 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....
April 14, 20168 yr Author 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.
April 15, 20168 yr I am thinking I want to try this with my 7D shaft. when do the early bird pre-ordering start on these heads?
April 15, 20168 yr 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. Edited April 15, 20168 yr by Golfbaka

April 15, 20168 yr Ive got my sample! waiting on a new 7D. You can order now anyone who wants a pre order email me [email protected] 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.
April 15, 20168 yr Another video. " Very straight flights " is what they say. https://youtu.be/NWH4mxk4yWI
April 16, 20168 yr 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...
April 16, 20168 yr 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.
April 17, 20168 yr Author 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.
