Bat Pack Adidas Aero Burner Comp and DeMarini CF Zen -10 Senior League Baseball Bats: AEROBU and DXCBZR

Pros:  Hot right out of the wrapper. No vibration. Awesome trampoline effect - ball rockets off the bat. Balanced swing. Bought to replace Demarini Zen -10 that was banned by USSSA. My son loves this bat even more than the zen. Has awesome pop and balanced swing weight.

Cons:  None so far.

Pros:  We bought Burner Comp to replace Demarini CF Zen -10 that was banned by USSSA. Besides being the best looking bat maybe ever the enormous barrel screams confidence. This thing is super hot right out of the wrapper. Vant wait til its broken in properly! Swing feels buttery smooth, No vibration, the balance is amazing! Adidas has really found something with their Taylor Made Rocket-Ballz Technology. First swing my son looked at me like "did you just see that"!

Cons:  None!

Pros:  Huge barrel on par with the CF Zen by Demarini that was banned by USSSA. Hot out of the wrapper and makes a great ping sound when hit. Bought this for my son and has used it in 3 tournaments so far and several others kids on the team have tried it and love it.

Cons:  Not so much a con, but the bat is white so it shows a lot of the nicks, scratches and dirt from use. Also the end cap is flat so it takes a bit of a beating when getting tossed back after a hit.

Pros:  Out performs other bats in its category. Hope Adidas stays in the bat market, they have made a great product!

Cons:  none

Pros:  Boys (10 and 13) had Louisville slugger 917's 2 3/4 bats over the summer and went with the Burner 2 3/4 bats for both this fall ball and they loved it. Hot right out of the wrapper. Very balanced. A little heavier than the 917's but boys had no trouble with control. Great bat.

Cons:  None as the boys or I can tell. Both crushing the ball and loving the bat.

Pros:  My son hit really well with it in an indoor session. He said it felt good, he drove the ball well, it had good pop.

Cons:  It cracked in multiple places.

Pros:  Balanced feel, thats about it.

Cons:  Pop is terrible. Has a nice barrel but noticed a lot of vibration. We hit 50 balls off the tee and put it back in the box to send back. It even sounds dead. Coming from using the Marucci Hex Connect, it doesn't compare. Don't waste your money.

Pros:  Adidas has produced a winner. This is as good as anything on the market and a steal at this price.

Cons:  None yet

Pros:  Is balanced the same as the CF8 (green bat). Not a lot of sting. Seems to have a good sweet spot. Very close to the original Zen but noticeably less pop.

Cons:  Noticeably less pop then the CF8 and the illegal Zen. I contacted demarini and was advised they used a "ceramic sleeve" that was inserted into the barrell. This stiffens up the barrel and restricts the "trampoline effect". We hit about 150 baseballs outside and the bat did seem to heat up the more my 12u travel ball son hit with it. He liked it even though the pop was less. He uses a CF8 during his games and had the illegal Zen as a back up. He wanted the retooled bat so we bought a new one with the voucher money.

Pros:  None. Read Cons...

Cons:  These bats are banned by DeMarini, yes, DeMarini at all Game Day tournaments. They even banned this bat at a tournament they sponsored.

Pros:  My son loved the performance. Very easy warranty process.

Cons:  We purchased a new CF8 for the Elite 32 at Disney last July, unfortunately by the end of the tournament the bat was already cracking. We went through DeMarini’s warranty process, and was issued a voucher number for a replacement. In April we ordered a new Re-tooled CF Zen (performance was not as good as the CF8 but still very good) Sadly like the CF8 within a few weeks it cracked. While I understand DeMarini’s warranty policies and I'm thankful for the first replacement, I still feel that a company should stand behind their product especially one that fails within the first few weeks. As a guy that works hard for his money I can no longer afford to spend the kind of money that DeMarini charges for bats that are less durable then their competitors

Pros:  My 12u son loves the feel of the bat. not much vibration.

Cons:  Less pop. Bat busted in less than 2 months.

Pros:  i like on how it feels

Cons:  the look

Pros:  for a brief period, there was decent pop, but soon after it started cracking.

Cons:  no durability. this is the third CF8 in a year. Last years CF8 broke in the cage within two days. once returned, received the illegal CF8 then the retooled one. after 4 tournaments its cracking. my sons buddy had the same experience. appaently these bats are not made for tournament players. ridiculous for the money spent.

Pros:  it’s got a big sweet spot

Cons:  the first day I got it it snapped in have. I would go with marrucci

Pros:  Great bat with great pop. Not sure on durability yet.

Cons:  Plan on this bat weighing at least 2oz more than advertised. I put my boys on the scale and his 30/20 weighed in at 22.17. Still a nice bat, but really a drop 8. Should have probably went with the next size down.

Pros:  This bat is by far the best bat DeMarini has ever made.

Cons:  Zero so far

Pros:  Still has a nice pop and nice feel to it.

Cons:  Bat weighs 3 oz over stated weight. Too heavy for my 9-year-old to swing. Demarini Customer service told me it's because of the ceramic sleeve applied to the inside of the bat.
