DeMarini CF Zen Baseball Bats
DeMarini's CF Zen baseball bat boasts a lightweight, two-piece composite construction for a smooth swing and maximum bat control. This translates into easy generation of bat speed to drive the ball deep, while the Paraflex Plus Composite Barrel delivers a large sweet spot for consistent, powerful contact. Plus, the 3-Fusion End Cap optimizes the sweet spot for a larger hitting zone and a more explosive pop on every swing.
Key features include:
Paraflex Plus Composite Barrel | Engineered for consistent responsiveness and a huge sweet spot, delivering maximum pop. |
3Fusion Connection | Reduces vibration for a comfortable feel while redirecting energy back into the barrel. |
ReAction End Cap | Increases barrel performance without sacrificing swing speed, enhancing the bat's overall balance. |
Balanced Swing Weight | Optimizes bat speed and control, making it easier for hitters to meet and drive the ball. |
Two-piece Composite Construction | Offers an ideal combination of weight, balance, and flexibility, promoting a more efficient swing path. |

The CF Zen prioritizes bat speed with its lightweight build for easy swings and a massive sweet spot thanks to the Paraflex Plus Composite Barrel. The Meta swings a bit heavier but offers similar pop with its EKO composite barrel, focusing on a balanced swing weight for precision. The Quatro Pro falls between the two, offering a comfortable swing weight and a large sweet spot with its two-piece composite construction, making it a good choice for balanced performance.

👍 Pros |
---|
This bat is amazing! It is hot right out of the wrapper. |
This is the best overall USA bat on the market. It has good pop and great balance. |
Of all the bats I observed in 13u this past season, this was by far the best bat. |
👎 Cons |
---|
The bat developed cracks in the sweet spot from regular use during batting practice. |
Bat has pop but I've had a couple of friends crack this same bat after 4 games. |
Bought it for my son, second time he used it, it cracked. He only hit league baseballs with it in warm weather. |
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.
