Newly Designed Lightweight End Cap Enhances Barrel Performance
Balanced Swing Weight

New USA Baseball (USABat) Certification
Description
The Anderson Bat Company is a California based, high-performance manufacturer of only the best USA bats on the planet. The Techzilla S series is unique in the sense that it is a two-piece design with an M1 aerospace alloy barrel and a 100% composite handle. This hybrid construction helps reduce the amount of negative feedback delivered to the hands while increasing flex on contact for further ball flight than ever before. On the end of the durable aluminum barrel, Anderson has applied an extremely lightweight end cap with a streamlined design that helps improve overall balance for faster bat speed and better control in the box. The handle goes into the barrel at a sturdy connection point and comes pre-wrapped with an all black synthetic grip that helps enhance comfort. Anderson: All about the player and nothing else!
This Anderson Techzilla S Series USA Baseball Bat (YBB18ZILLA9) features a drop 9 length to weight ratio, a 2 5/8-inch barrel diameter, and the USA Baseball certification.

ANDERSON TechZilla S-Series -9
Craig Langlois
parent
Pros: According to my son, no issues with vibration. He loves the thin tapered handle as he usually "chokes up" just a bit (1/2 inch) when he hits. Barrel design provides a slightly larger sweet spot compared to a lot of other 30" USA big barrel bats. The proof is at the plate - For a bat that is supposed to be more like the quality of a wood bat ("deader" than the now obsolete bats of last year), he has already hit 5 over the fence batting practice home runs this year (none last year). He is 11 years old and weighs a whopping 78 lbs soaking wet.
Cons: None thus far. Has performed well in colder weather. We live in northern New Hampshire where the snow just disappeared 2-3 weeks ago, so we are just getting started outside. No issues with denting thus far.

Was there a version of this bat sold in late 2017, in the 30 inch that is no longer legal?
Drew Greenspan
This 2018 Anderson Techzilla S Series -9 USA Baseball Bat (YBB18ZILLA9) is the first Techzilla we have carried since the 2018 Youth release of the bat. Sadly, I am not sure if there was a 2017 Techzilla release made in 2017 that has been banned from certain play.

Is this a balanced bat or end loaded?

This 2018 Anderson Techzilla S Series -9 USA Baseball Bat (YBB18ZILLA9) will feature a balanced swing feel to it.
Ben
Why aren't these bats "end loaded" or double walled?
Jason Anderson
Anderson decided to make this 2018 Anderson Techzilla S Series -9 USA Baseball Bat (YBB18ZILLA9) with a balanced feel to it. As well, baseball bats are not typically identified as single- or double-walled. The decisions to update the bat designs are made by the manufacturers.

About the Brand
A High-Tech Engineer, a Sales Manager for a chemical company, and a Professional Yacht Racer with a background in mechanical engineering are not likely to have much in common. But they did, and still do. You guessed it…SOFTBALL.
Our passion for “Diamond” sports goes back many years, but it was about 10 years ago that we started manufacturing and private labeling our bats for other companies. In 1999, Steven Anderson designed a new multi-wall high-performance bat that featured our patented “Power Arch” technology. After thorough testing, it was ready for the company that we designed it for, but they were going through a transition period and were not ready to move on it.
Here was the bummer, our team was counting on using these bats in a big tournament that was just a month away and we could not put their graphics on the bats until the deal between the two of us was inked.
Steven offered a solution … they are already certified by the governing bodies so why don’t we put our own graphics on them and use them in the tourney. What a great idea and that is exactly what we did.
I was driving to the plant the next morning wearing my championship “T” shirt and had no idea that when I arrived at 6:30 am that the message machine would be filled and the phones would be ringing. The messages and the calls were all basically the same … “How do I get my hands on one of those new Anderson Techwraps”?
That is how it started, and since then we have released the FlexTech, FastTech, RocketTech, TechZilla, Pyrotech, and we are not done.
Let me tell you a little secret……THE BEST IS YET TO COME…GO DEEP, GO VERY VERY DEEP
