Awesome bat Trey Bailey player
Pros: It is a great bat I can hit like a champ
Cons: It gets dirty quick but it's great
Great Bat! A player
Pros: Very well balanced bat. It's not hand weighted or end weighted, it's very well balanced. It has a great feel to it and it's very easy to get through the zone. The pop is fantastic, better than the 916 and Maxum and Voodoo. Little to no vibration. The bat looks amazing too. The white looks great when it's dirty.
Cons: None, except maybe the grip, but that's an easy fix with tape.
Terrific Bat T-Wass player
Pros: Best pop i have ever seen on a bbcor bat Feels weightless when i hit the sweetspot "5 tool" bat
Cons: i can not think of any, i have tried bats at bat trials and demos, this is the best all around bat
Z-Core Hybrid Ben player
Pros: Amazing pop. Ball seems to fly off the bat even on a bad swing. Very easy to square up a ball.
Cons: I used it in one tournament and the dugouts had concrete floors, you would have thought i had had the bat for years. Scratches easily, marks up easy as well.
Good bat, one issue Matt M. player
Pros: feels good, great pop off the barrel, slightly top heavy
Cons: hit a ball off the handle and a small piece on the endcap came off. still works
lwill Landon Williams player
Pros: I just got this bat a couple weeks ago and I already love it. It has great pop and a good clean sound. I like the bigger barrell and i have the 34 in bat and i would recommend it to anybody strong enough to swing it.
Cons: The only con about this bat is that it is white and gets dirty easy.
Very HOT Bat ! Coach Joe parent
Pros: Got this bat for my HS freshman son. A hard hitter. He switched from a Mako torq. He`s getting fantastic pop right out of the box. Just bats are the king. I will never buy from anyone else.
Cons: Nothing
34in Zcore Jp player

Cons: None so far

SOLID BBCOR BAT Nicholas Bowling player
Pros: • Good Bat, swings well • Pop at start was OK, but after a month it is great • Paint looks sexy as heck when dirty • Sounds nice when hit • I am a 5' 7" 175 lbs 14 year old (just turned 14 about a month ago when wroting this) and i play with 10th graders in 8th grade and I can compete with them with this bat • Would Buy again 33"30 oz version is the one i got and it was nice
Cons: • This may just be my thing, but i hit a lot of ground balls with this bat, if you are fast this maybnot be an issue to you but i am not, so this would be an issue for me BUT this may just be my thing so this can be overlooked • Another issue I had was tape, but thisnid typical of any Easton bat, just retape it with Lizard Skin
Bat is great!!! Kadrion player
Pros: Bat is great, has pop better than any other bat out there such as, my other bat the voodoo raw and the bat is beautiful when dirty.
Cons: Nothing but I wish that the black part of the tape was white not being racist I just think it would look cool....btw mixed
