**PROS**

-   It has a large sweet spot, making it perfect for power hitters to hit balls off and over the fence, even in colder weather.
    
-   This bat is amazing! With a slight end load and tons of pop, it's the perfect choice for any player. We're so happy we made this purchase - it's definitely worth it!

**CONS**

-   Unfortunately, after the first tournament it already has a slight rattle in the barrel.
    
-   I purchased this bat a month ago. After hitting two foul balls, the bat got scratched beyond my expectations.

### Certification: BBCOR, USA, USSA

### Expert Notes ([Tony from BatExperts](https://sidelineswap.com/batexperts))

  

The Louiseville Select PWR bat is one of the hottest bass out there for hybrids. The BBCOR model is a heavier bat and is in the same category as The Goods by DeMarini. Only about 20% of the market is going to be able to use this bat just because of it’s weight. It’s designed for a power hitter who likes a stiff feel and big barrel.

The Easton ADV 360 is a technological pinnacle in the brand’s long history of designing baseball bats. The ADV 360’s design takes advantage of Easton's Launch Composite Technology, a larger barrel contour, and a more responsive (and forgiving) sweet spot. The bat’s overall engineering ensures precision and flexibility across the entire barrel for more consistent performance. With its two-piece iSO ConneXion™ design, the ADV 360 absorbs vibration, delivering an unmatched feel at contact.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**

-   I've always used Easton gear for baseball. Got this bat for my 9-year-old and it's impressive. Good pop and similar to the Easton Ghost, but with more power.
    
-   Nearly every player on our son's team uses or borrows this bat. It's popular because it hits home runs well.
    
-   I am 12 years old and I hit a home run in my last game with my Rawlings bat. Looking forward to next year!
    

**CONS**

-   I got two bats for my kids, a 29-11 and a 30-10. Both broke even though we used them properly and never misused them. I had to send them back to the manufacturer.
    
-   My son loved the bat, it improved his confidence and hitting skills. However, it cracked unexpectedly despite following the instructions. We're disappointed with the quality, and my son was heartbroken.
    
-   Although the bat was great while it worked, it's disappointing that it failed after just one year, especially not at the barrel. There seem to be manufacturing and durability issues with this expensive bat.
    

  

### Certification: USA, USSSA, BBCOR

### Expert Notes ([Tony from BatExperts](https://sidelineswap.com/batexperts))

The Easton ADV 360 is a two-piece composite bat. It has a light swing and big barrel. Perfect for the younger hitter. I think it is popular because of the paint job, which is bright neon yellow. It is more of a look than a performance bat, but still a very good bat that doesn’t have a huge amount of breakage. It's an average bat for either Little League or USSSA.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* Good bat, with less pop than 1-piece aluminum. Ideal for singles with a lighter swing weight. Composite material, so have 2 bats for high competition.
* My son is 11 years old. I was worried he would struggle to swing a 30/20 bat this year, considering he used a 29/19 bat last year. However, this bat is amazing! It is hot right out of the wrapper. I wouldn't even think about using another bat this year; this one is perfect.
* This is the best overall USA bat on the market. It has decent pop and great balance, making it a high-quality option.

**CONS**



* "The bat developed cracks in the sweet spot from regular use during batting practice. After six months, the cracks grew larger until there were two major ones, resembling a cave-in."
* Bat has pop but I've had a couple of friends crack this same bat after 4 games.
* Bought it for my son, 2nd time he used it, it cracked. He only hit league baseballs with it in warm weather.


### **Certification**: BBCOR, USSSA, USA


### Expert Notes ([Tony from BatExperts](https://sidelineswap.com/batexperts))

The CF Zen has been discontinued. The early models from 2017 - 2021 were called CF Zens. After that, DeMarini changed the name to CF. The first models of the CF Zen were very high-performance. But they also tended to break, so DeMarini made them stronger, made them stiffer, made them more durable. And when they did that, the bats didn't hit as well. The early models were better performers than the later models.
