## 22. DeMarini Zoa Bat

The Zoa was DeMarini’s first baseball bat to feature Continuous Fiber Technology. Launched in 2022, it’s crafted to deliver a combination of power, balance, and barrel performance for elite players at the high school and college levels. Established by Ray DeMarini in 1989, DeMarini is known for their technological innovations and passion for bat design. The brand embodies the spirit of both amateur and professional players aiming to elevate their game, and the DeMarini Zoa is a testament to this legacy, showcasing a commitment to pushing the boundaries of bat design. 

**Perfect bat for:** Elite high school and collegiate players seeking a composite bat that provides a large hitting area without sacrificing a light swing weight.


### Key features include:



* **Continuous Fiber Composite Barrel:** Crafted for a lighter, more durable barrel with a massive sweet spot for unparalleled power and consistency.
* **Direct Connection Handle:** Offers superior energy transfer and a stiff feel on contact, designed for players who crave immediate feedback with each swing.
* **ReAction End Cap:** Increases barrel performance without sacrificing swing speed, optimizing the balance between power and control.
* **Two-Piece Composite Construction:** Delivers a blend of speed and power, allowing for maximum bat speed and a more efficient energy transfer.
* **Anomaly End Cap:** This precision-engineered end cap complements the Zoa's lightweight design, ensuring a blend of speed and balance that's rare in high-performance bats.

The DeMarini Zoa sets itself apart with its Continuous Fiber Composite Barrel, offering a unique blend of durability, power, and a vast sweet spot. While the Louisville Slugger Meta is renowned for its EKO composite barrel, emphasizing a combination of swing speed and barrel control, and the Easton Maxum Ultra is favored for its seamless carbon construction providing the longest barrel in the game, the Zoa specializes in delivering a high-performance hitting experience with enhanced feedback and energy transfer, making it a prime choice for competitive players aiming to maximize their impact at the plate.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)


**PROS**



* My son just got a new bat to replace his META and it's great! It's hot out of the wrapper, has a forgiving barrel and almost no vibration. He absolutely crushed the ball. We can't wait to see how it performs when it's fully broken in.
*  If you like end-loaded bats, this one has surprising pop with low noise. It feels good when squared up and I personally love it. My rating is 8/10. 
* "This bat increased my exit velocity and feels smooth when swinging. It's the best bat I've ever used."

**CONS**



* This bat is heavy and can be hard to locate the barrel. I recommended for very strong players. If you swing a drop 5 alloy, try a drop 8 Zoa.
* Sounds dead. My son hates it. We bought this bat because of the good reviews. Its expensive and has no pop.
* Only downside is that the weather needs to be warmer or it will crack the bat due to it being all composite.

 


### **Certification**: BBCOR


### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts))

The Zoa has a strong barrel and connection, making it a heavier, end loaded bat overall. Your smaller players don't get the same bat speed or same performance with that Zoa as they do with the CF. The Zoa is one of those power hitter two-piece composites. 


Pop: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Durability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Vibration: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
