The DeMarini CF Zen differentiates itself from competitors like the Louisville Slugger Meta and the Rawlings Quatro Pro with its innovative Paraflex Plus Composite material and 3Fusion Connection technology, providing a unique blend of flexibility, balance, and reduced vibration. While the Meta is known for its EKO Composite barrel and premium feel, and the Quatro Pro boasts a four-piece composite design for maximum power, the CF Zen excels in delivering a balanced swing weight and enhanced barrel performance, making it a top choice for athletes who value precision along with power.

### 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.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**

-   I bought the Easton Ghost bat (28/18) for my 7-year-old son, who plays kid pitch. It's great! No vibration, excellent pop. He's excelled in batting since he started using it. Worth the cost. Highly recommended!
    
-   Bought the 29-inch version instead of the 28-inch for my 8-year-old. It makes a cracking sound, but he hits 20 feet further with it than his old bat. No vibration issues yet. Overall, a solid bat.
    
-   My 11-year-old son loved this bat. He used it in a tournament right out of the package and almost all of his team used it too. They scored 19 runs in that game.
    

**CONS**

-   Bought for 9-year-old. Looks cool but has a small sweet spot and hand vibrations. Decent pop, but needs 100 swings to break in."
    
-   Prices do NOT align with quality.
    
-   I bought the X-Evolution baseball bat on sale for my son, but it never performed well. Hits only made it to the infield, and there's a dead spot in the barrel's last 3-4 inches. This makes it challenging to hit outside pitches.
    

  
  

### Certification: USA, USSSA

### Expert Notes ([Tony from BatExperts](https://sidelineswap.com/batexperts))

The Ghost X Evolution is a two piece composite bat. It’s one of the better Little League bats of 2019 because it has a lighter weight and is easy to swing. In the USA marketplace, it was probably one of the better bats. It has a cool paint job, which is attractive for a Little Leaguer, where looks can often be more of a consideration than performance.

Avenge

### Product Descriptions

Axe Avenge BBCOR certified bats deliver ACR hitting zone technology for maximum barrel performance, power, and speed. With a 270 degree engineered hitting zone, the Avenge is designed for maximum performance, strength, and durability. The perfect combination of power and speed, the Avenge utilizes carbon hyperwhip end cap technology to reduce weight distribution at the end of the baseball bat and a vibration canceling system (VCS) to reduce hand vibrations for a smoother shock absorbing swing. Added in 2019, the 3-piece composite bat construction and the charged carbon barrel provides improved performance along the length of the barrel in addition to a lighter swinging bat that feels smoother on mishits. The flex handle with shock absorbing endogrid technology built into the handle maximizes whip through the hitting zone, enhances overall comfort, and reduces bottom hand vibrations.

### Export Notes

Early in the lineup hitters, as well as the occasional power guy, will like this bat’s performance. If you thought the Axe Avenge via 2018 swung a bit too heavy for you then it would be time to reconsider the 2019 version. The latest model features a lighter swing weight. All in all, the 2019 Avenge is a lighter swinging bat with a larger usable barrel size and a smoother feel on mishits. These differences are in large part due to changes in the composite make up (to a "charged carbon") that allows for longer performance along the length of the barrel.
