mpbachman Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 The ZY-7 looks more shallow than the ZY-11. Are these really coming to retail soon? (excited) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobmontana Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 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.

nobmontana Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) 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....

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.

nobmontana Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 I am thinking I want to try this with my 7D shaft. when do the early bird pre-ordering start on these heads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

bkkgolfer Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shacco Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Looking at the placement of the weight I suspect a more forward cg position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobmontana Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 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.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted April 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
