Mako

### Expert Notes
Endurance is the name of the game when it comes to Easton’s Mako bat series. Despite being discontinued in 2017, Easton Mako bats continue to sell very well in the modern market. This two-piece composite bat offers an additional jolt of pop at the plate, and its anti-vibration technology makes getting jammed a little less painful—physically, at least. The 2016 Easton Mako, in particular, has ascended into baseball bat folklore because of its neon green colorway and insane ability to demolish baseballs (although some hitters prefer the orange 2015 model, too). Considering the fantastic prices you can find Easton Mako’s listed at, it remains a top metal bat value pick.

Omaha 517

Velo

### Expert Notes
The longest lasting metal bat series on the market is still at its peak. Rawlings legendary Velo series returned in 2022, with a Velo ACP release that I’ve heard hitters say offers unparalleled balance at the plate. Over time, the Rawlings Velo series has evolved by incorporating the ACP (Accelerated Carbon Performance) line that adds extra carbon in the barrel, which we’ve heard does a lot to increase pop. While Velo’s aren’t the best looking bats you’re going to find, they make up for the plainness with top-notch performance. Rawlings’ resilient Velo series should continue to be a favorite for hard-nosed hitters who prefer production over flash.

Mako Beast

### Expert Notes
The Easton Mako Beast is proof that some bats surpass their expected expiration date.
Released in 2017, this Easton model offers a deadly combo of a light swing and a big
barrel to create a terrifying bat for we pitchers. The two-piece, composite Mako Beast
evolved from Easton’s legendary Mako bat series (my favorite metal bat of all time), but was updated to include a longer barrel than the original Mako. Aside from that, not
much else has changed between older Mako models and the 2018 Mako Beast (not
including this bat’s sweet black matte colorway with grey accents). Although Easton has
released a number of excellent metal bats over the years, many hitters 
consider the 2017 Beast Mako to be one of their all-time best. And if you use this bat, you
might reach your peak, as well.

Prime 917

### Product Description

Louisville Slugger’s Prime 917 bat is BBCOR-certified, combining maximum power, speed, and a balanced swing weight. With a fairly low MOI (moment of inertia), the large barrel and light swing weight are ideal for both power and contact hitters. The Prime 917 utilizes FCS (Fused Carbon Structure) Composite Design, Patented TRU3 technology, MicroForm Composite and Flex Band Technology to enhance performance and contribute to a larger sweet spot, maximum pop off the bat, and to reduce negative vibrations on mishits. Built for all levels of play, the Prime 917 features the Lizard Skin Grip for overall comfort and tackiness.

Z-Core

### Product Description 

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. Easton’s patented Hyperlite Matrix (HMX) alloy helps to deliver a huge sweet spot and an incredible amount of pop. Lastly, the handle features Easton's Hyperskin Grip to reduce vibration and provide a comfortable grip experience for hitters.

### Expert Notes

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.
