Excellent Bat Davenport
Pros: The Z-3000 Slow Pitch softball bat was definitely worth the wait. I took it strait out the wrapper and was hitting 330'+ shots off a tee with some old Dudley Thunder ZN. The sweet spot on this bat seems massive and the new Tru3 technology virtually eliminates vibration without compromising the ability to feel where you hit the ball on the bat. I'm very happy I decided to get the Z-3000 and I recommend this bat to anyone who takes slow pitch softball seriously.
Cons: None - I'm 100% satisfied
make sure you have a valid receipt!!!! dave-o
Pros: bat was incredibly hott,, but only for about 30 swings and it cracked.... balls and bat were above 60 degrees,, so cold wasn't an issue
Cons: there are some clunkers in the batch,,, some will last,, some will crack,,, same as z2000 ri,,, they haven't completely fixed the durability issue yet!!
strong zen devil
Pros: good pop out of the wrapper but really opens somewhere after 150 hits. I'm a hard line drive switch hitter who plays 3 to four nights a week and without trying popped out my first home run in over 2 years. let me make it clear that I haven't been using some cheap whole sale team supplied bats either. This bat out preforms any demarini or worth that I've swung lately. I have the 27oz model and it feels just a little bit heavier than my 27oz demarini stadium and threw me off for just the first couple of swings but now after having a few weeks with it I can say its the best bat I've swung for some time i'm a true fan. no one will be disappointed picking up this one.
Cons: everyone on your team will want to use it there is a seam on the graphic wrap over the bat that i'm afraid with time may start to peel but no issues as of yet, this might just be me being paranoid.

About the Brand
In 1842, J. Frederick Hillerich emigrated with his family from Baden-Baden, Germany to the United States. Eight years before, the 1834 Book of Sports had made its debut as the nation's first publication covering baseball. But when he arrived in Baltimore, J. Frederick Hillerich would never have dreamed of the future impact his family would have on America's favorite pastime.
After a short while, the Hillerichs moved to Louisville, where J. Fred started a woodworking shop in 1856. Two of his sons, Adam and John Andrew "Bud" were born in the United States and would later join their father in his business. By 1864 "J.F. Hillerich, Job Turning" was in operation and filled orders for businesses by custom-turning everything from balusters to bedposts.
The firm thrived, and by 1875 the little woodworking shop employed about 20 people. In 1880 Bud Hillerich, who was an amateur baseball player, became an apprentice in his father's shop. Young Bud made his own baseball bats along with bats for several of his teammates.
The debate over the origins of the first bat continues to generate controversy among baseball enthusiasts, but the younger Hillerich was most certainly involved in getting his father's business involved with what would become the company's signature item. According to company legend, the first bat was turned by Bud for Pete "The Old Gladiator" Browning in 1884. Browning was a star on Louisville's professional American Association team - the Eclipse. On a spring afternoon Bud, then seventeen, witnessed Browning break his favorite bat. Bud offered to make a bat for his hero, and Browning accepted. After the young wood shop apprentice lathed a quality stick from white ash, according to the story, Browning got three hits with it in the next game.
Louisville Slugger gloves are worn by more pitchers in Major League Baseball than any other glove.
