New High School/College BBCOR Certified 2017 Easton Z-Core Bat (-3) 32" 29 oz.

Easton's® Z-Core™ bats are the biggest, baddest aluminum bats in the game, so it's no surprise they are the No. 1 bats in college baseball, with more at-bats, more hits and more homers than any other bat used at the 2016 Men's College World Series®. The Z-Core™ Hybrid -3 is a two-piece aluminum/composite hybrid design that's slightly end-loaded for a balanced feel. Easton's® Z-CORE™ internal core technology combines with HMX™ Hyperlite Matrix Alloy and the longest 2-5/8" BBCOR barrels in the game to deliver a truly massive sweet spot. The patented two-piece ConneXion™ technology and SIC™ black carbon composite handle help maximize energy transfer with better feel on every swing, and the 31/32" composite handle with 1.2mm HYPERSKIN™ grip provides stability through the hitting zone.

The Easton Z-Core prioritizes bat control for contact hitters with its innovative Z-Core construction and a large sweet spot. This single-piece aluminum alloy bat features a stiff feel for precision at the plate, while the Z-Core technology expands the sweet spot to forgive off-center hits. The Easton Z-Core features Lock and Load technology, which allows you to adjust your swing weight. There are three on-the-fly swing weight settings to choose from: Speed, Balanced, or XL. This makes the Z-Core bat a highly customizable option for different hitting styles. The Z-Core also features one of the longest aluminum barrels that you’ll find.

The 2016 Easton Z-Core is a single-piece aluminum alloy bat with a balanced swing. The Z-Core, not to be confused with the Z-Core Torq or Z-Core XL, incorporates an internal composite reinforcement along the length of its barrel. This gives the bat a considerably large barrel for a single-piece alloy. Easton often refers to this as ‘Mako-izing’ the bat which is a reference to the Easton Mako’s large barrel size.
