Description
The latest and greatest members of the BBCOR Power Brigade are here and ready to be unleashed.
Let's break down the newest hybrid design from Easton: the Easton Z-CORE Hybrid BBCOR Baseball Bat: BB17ZH. The barrel is composed of Easton's high-grade Hyperlite Matrix (HMX) alloy combined with the Z-CORE internal core technology to deliver the biggest sweet spot and longest aluminum BBCOR barrel in baseball. With that combination, you can expect a massive hitting surface, unmatched performance, and more ping in every swing! On the other end, the handle is made up of SIC black carbon composite material. Easton's SIC material strengthens the handle while eliminating any negative vibration for an optimized feel during every at bat. These two halves are combined with the patented two-piece ConneXion technology to maximize energy transfer, create more flex, and add more trampoline effect. In addition, the Z-CORE Hybrid features the second highest swing weight index in the BBCOR Power Brigade lineup for a slightly end loaded swing weight and more mass behind the ball at impact. Easton: The King of Ping!
This Easton Z-CORE Hybrid BBCOR Baseball Bat: BB17ZH features a -3 length to weight ratio, a 2 5/8 inch barrel diameter, and the BBCOR certification making it legal for play at the high school and collegiate level. Furthermore, Easton is backing this model with a full twelve (12) month manufacturer's warranty.

Best Easton BBCOR bat this year NikoMaxim player
Pros: Yesterday I went to a Easton bat demo at a near by facility to try the new Easton bat line for 2017. For a BBCOR bat I thought the Hybrid had decent pop, but the biggest difference I felt was that it had a nice smooth feel on contact. The Z-CORE Speed and the Z-CORE Speed XL were ok bats. The Speed just didn't have that nice smooth feel like the Hybrid. I also believe the Speed didn't have as good of pop compared to the Hybrid.
Cons: None
Won out over others Batman parent
Pros: Selected this bat for purchase after trying out the DeMarinini Zen and Easton Beast (and others) at a bat demo day. Went with the intention of purchasing the Zen. Performance of this bat simply stood out from the others. Very balanced for greater bat speed, excellent pop, and a noticeably large sweet spot.
Cons: Not sure on durability.
beautiful alloy bat drew player
Pros: At first i didnt think it was gonna do good at all bc ive only used composite bats but this bat had amazin pop and a great smack sound every time you connected with the ball
Cons: none
sm GM player
Pros: Feels good, good pop, nice price.
Cons: none yet, only used for 6 at bats so far
Boom B parent
Pros: So far so good. My 16 y/o son has been using this bat for about a month and a half. All indoor training so far. Exit velo is consistently in the mid to upper 90's with a PR of 101. Can't wait for the games to start.
Cons: zero
Great BBCOR starter Jeff Bowen Parent
Pros: Great pop and great feel
Cons: None
Best Easton I've had! Connor Player
Pros: This Easton is really nice has a massive sweet spot big barrel. Has and awesome design very loud and crisp ping sound after you hit it good. Feels like nothing when you hit it hard and on the sweet spot. If you want a nice bat that will last I would recommend this bat 100% Im in high school and im consistently hitting 90's on the exit velocity.
Cons: Had to Change the grip because it will give you blisters.
Great hybrid choice Scott Parent
Pros: Swings well out of the wrapper. Balanced swing weight. Price point
Cons: None

I am 6'1" and 165 lbs. I hit mostly for contact. Looking for pop. What size bat do you recommend? kt
My grandson is a 6'3" 130 lb. 13 year old. He hits with power, but is moving up to Freshman baseball. Is a 32 inch or 33 inch BBCOR bat right for him? He was swinging a -10 MAKO last year. Bert
I'm 6"1 155 pounds and 14 years old. Last season I used the -3 Mako Beast in the 32"/29 oz size. It was a good bat but my friend had this bat in the 33"/30 oz size. I felt that when I hit with this bat I generally generated more power and I could feel myself drive the ball with this bat. Is there a reason for that (is this bat end-loaded and the beast is not, or is it because of the weight, or is it just the bat.) Anyways, I was thinking about buying this bat for high school, but I was also looking at the Marucci Cat 8. What bat in which size would you recommend? Also does the weather have an effect on the bat. I live in Ohio so during the high school season the weather could be 40 one day and 75 the next during the spring. Zack
Would you buy the cat 8 or this bat? z
Is this bat and other BBCOR bats also allowed for USSSA 14U? Bill
What current 2018 or 2019 bat would be comparable to the 2016 HMX Z-CORE? Jarrad Ward
