2025 DeMarini CF Zen Composite USSSA Certified Bat (-8) 22 oz 30" (Used)

The 2025 DeMarini CF Zen Composite is a USSSA certified youth baseball bat designed for players ages 9 to 13 in the kid pitch division. Its 30-inch length combined with a 22-ounce weight and a -8 drop balance provides a good mix of speed and power. The composite barrel, measuring 2 3/4 inches, offers a solid yet forgiving hitting surface that helps reduce vibrations on mishits. This model features DeMarini’s two-piece composite construction, which lowers hand sting and improves energy transfer, making it easier to get the bat through the strike zone fast. The bat is used and made in the USA. This CF Zen Composite suits competitive youth players who need a lightweight, balanced bat to develop consistent swings and maximize pop at the plate. The -8 drop is standard for this age group, helping players generate bat speed while maintaining control. It's a good fit for hitters transitioning from more basic models who want a bat that will perform well throughout the kid pitch level.

The DeMarini CF Zen baseball bat features a lightweight, two-piece composite design for smooth swings and excellent bat control. Its Paraflex Plus Composite Barrel provides a large sweet spot for consistent, powerful hits, while the 3-Fusion End Cap enhances the sweet spot for greater exit velocity. For even more power, consider the 2017 Green Zen (aka the Green GOAT).

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.
