Pros: Just tried this bat. It had an incredible sound and ball flew off the barrel. This barrel and sweet spot is huge! Way bigger than other aluminum bats. Love it!
Cons: none
Pros: This bat has amazing pop. The ball flys of the HUGE barrel. The sweet spot is ginourmous!
Cons: Nothing this bat is perfect
Pros: this bat has a gigantic sweet spot and really good pop....great bat
Cons: nothing
Pros: This is a really nice bat for the money. My main decision was price point. I probably would have gone for the Z-Core Hybrid if it weren't $100 more. I doubt anyone would be dissatisfied with this bat for the money.
Cons: I am not a big fan of the "Ping" sound. After using composite bats and half and half bats, I like the subtle pop of those types of bats. Other than that, not much wrong with it.
Pros: Good balance
Cons: My son bought this bat a month ago just doesn't like it. doesn't feel like his composite S1 Hates the aluminum !!
Pros: The ball sails off of the bat
Cons: None
Pros: all i have to say is WOW ... this bat is sick and is a little more balanced than my old bat (marucci one). this bat has so much pop, everyone on the team is getting one. also i love the loud ping. Kinda reminds me of the rawlings velo
Cons: nothing at all .
Pros: This bat was purchased to get a 12u player ready for next year (90' bases, 60' 6" mound and BBCOR bats). The thing that stands out most is the balance in this bat. The barrel length is also very good when compared against a 5150 or LS 516. Overall, this appears to be a great bat for a 7th grader moving up to the big field.
Cons: None so far.
Pros: Has good pop and great sound when hit
Cons: None
Pros: got great pop and sound when you hit it, the kids love to use it. paided half what the stores were charging. the boys 5 9 140 got him a 31" 28 oz bat, probably should've got a 30 inch like my buddy said to get.
Cons: the paint could be a bit tougher, but they all could, by now all these bats should have a great ceramic coating on the ends to keep them from chipping. other than that its great.
Pros: I switched midway through the season from my mako to my z-core, and i couldnt be more satisfied. balls leap off this bat and is great for contact hitters.
Cons: scratches some.
Pros: My son loves this bat. Great pop and feel. Great value. It has improved his confidence as well as he is striking out at a much reduced rate.
Cons: None
Pros: i love this bat. just used it in my state travel tournament. went 8-9 the whole weekend with 5 doubles. Great pop love the color.
Cons: i didnt like the tape. im a lizzard skin guy. but the bat is great
Pros: Great bat for a great price big sweet spot with outstanding pop and feels like a lighter swing then the other -3 bats
Cons: None
Pros: It looks good.
Cons: It does not have pop. Does project off your bat. Disappointed in this bat.
Pros: I got this bat a few weeks ago and its been amazing using it so far. It has a lot of pop, makes a great ping, and the sweet spot is huge. Definitely recommend this bat over the Rawlings 5150.
Cons: None
Pros: Bat is AMAZING! Makes a great ping and has a lot of pop. Sweet spot is huge. Definitely recommend this bat over the Rawlings 5150.
Cons: Nothing at all.
Pros: ball flies off the bat. got this bat last year mid season before a tournament and went 9-10 that weekend
Cons: this bat sounds like a t-ball rawlings bat but the sound doesnt matter when the pop is crazy
Pros: This bat has a huge sweet spot on it. With a slow bat speed the ball flies far. Had 5 homers last season and cracked the ball over the fence countless times at practice. Highly recommend this bat.
Cons: None
Pros: light weight flies through the zone great pop
Cons: none
Pros: Great pop
Cons: nothing yet
Pros: This bat has amazing pop and great feel. Very balanced bat.
Cons: Nothing
Pros: Great Pop Balanced Feel Great Grip I purchased the 34 inch version of this bat on sale for 60 dollars and it was a steal of a deal
Cons: no cons so far but I have only had this bat for 4 months
Pros: Hot out of the wrapper. Big pop for the price. My 16-year-old wore his first Z-Core until he one-hopped the wall even though it made that "broken" sound. He had more expensive options, but chose to stick with the same model. The result? First game out of the wrapper, three bomb doubles.
Cons: Stronger players will get best benefit. You need serious batspeed to get the "flex and snap" out of a 1-piece aluminum bat. Younger, smaller hitters may be better sticking with composite and/or 2-piece bats. But for a power hitter, this bat really does the job.
Pros: Good bat out of the box. Good feel, good pop...etc..
Cons: After a month of use the bat lost pop...It was dead!!! Just like most Easton bats. Called the Company... will not not warranty a dead bat...It took me almost a month to replace a Z that the head plate flew off after a few weeks.. I have 3 Easton bats in my bat trash. 2 Z`s and a Mako... All junk. I guess thats why that have to change them every year...
Pros: I've used this for about a year and a half and it has great durability and since I started using I have crushed more gap shots and just hits in general.
Cons: A little vibration but there's nothing like getting the senses going!
