Known for blending cutting-edge technology with unparalleled craftsmanship, Easton has been long been a favorite among players of all ages and skill levels.


**Perfect bat for:** The powerful young player that still gets to use USSSA Bats.


### Key features include:



* **Revolutionary Composite Technology:** Crafted for peak performance, offering superior durability and an expanded sweet spot.
* **Dynamic Feel System:** Provides the ultimate in energy transfer and feel for more power and efficiency in every swing.
* **Speed Cap Design:** Enhances the sound and feel of the bat upon contact, coupled with improved barrel flexibility for a bigger impact.
* **VRSCOR Handle Insert:** Offers a solid feel and increased comfort, reducing vibration for a smoother swing.

### Top competitors comparison: [Louisville Slugger Meta](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/louisville-slugger/meta/l59403) and the [DeMarini CF](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/demarini/cf-20/l59398)

The Easton Hype Fire aims to outshine competitors like the Louisville Slugger Meta and the DeMarini CF with its focus on a high-octane combination of power, speed, and comfort. While the Slugger Meta is known for its groundbreaking vibration-dampening system and the DeMarini CF for its balanced swing, the Hype Fire is engineered to capture the best of both worlds, adding a distinctive edge in aesthetics and ergonomic design to ignite the performance of any player looking to make a statement.


### Progression of the Easton Hype Fire Baseball Bat:


The biggest differences between the 2023 and 2024 is a redesigned TCT™ Barrel aimed at widening the sweet spot, improving off-center hits, and maximizing the overall performance area.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* My son loves the 30", 5oz Easton Fire bat. It's hot straight out of the wrapper and feels lighter than his old one. The colors are bold but the grip is great. It has a normal composite bat sound and a well-balanced swing with a lot of pop. Highly recommended.
* My son switched to Easton Hype Fire bat after being a fan of Marucci for years. He loves the huge sweet spot, lighter weight and tons of pop. According to him, it's the perfect bat for USSSA.
* I love to see the confidence this bat gives my son. He's a very strong hitter, but with this bat, I see him being more patient, trusting his swing more, and hitting harder balls. 


**CONS**



* My son used this bat for about 2-3 months before small cracks in the bat started to form. He still used it because his old bat (30-inch -8 Demarini Zoa) was broken. It is an amazing bat but it probably won't last a full season in 13U baseball because of the speed.
* My son's new bat, a 30" (-8), has a small 1/2" crack after just two sessions of coach pitch BP with around 50 hits. It's brittle and we've never used it on a tee or machine. I'm surprised at how quickly it broke.
* I wish they were made stronger. It has great pop, great swing but the durability is lacking. Our original purchase cracked in a month and our replacement cracked in 2 months.


### Certification: USA


### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts))

The Hype Fire is the hottest, lightest swinging bat right now. The swing rate is very fast. It's a balanced, two piece composite bat. The first ones that came out had some breakage issues but they are now on that bat's second gen. We've not seen any of the new ones breaking. And to top it all off, it has the coolest paint job. The flames are yellow, orange, and red. The players love that.

### Evolution of the CF Zen Series 

Here is a list that details the progression of this series, highlighting the main features and advancements with each new model. 


**2016 - [CF Zen](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/demarini/cf-zen-2020/l8432) (Initial Release)**
- Introduced the Paraflex Composite for a more responsive barrel and better weight distribution. 
- 2-piece composite design with D-Fusion 2.0 handle to reduce vibration and redirect energy back into the barrel.  
 
**2017 - [CF Zen](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/demarini/cf-zen-2020/l8432) (Update)**
- Enhanced Paraflex Composite for even greater flexibility and durability. 
- Refined D-Fusion 2.0 handle technology to further dampen hand sting on mis-hits. 
- New Low Pro end cap to optimize balance and maintain barrel integrity. 
 
 
 

**2020 - [CF Zen (BBCOR)](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/demarini/cf-zen-2020/bat-type-bbcor/l211796)**
- Applied the latest Paraflex Plus Composite for a lighter, more responsive barrel. 
- 3Fusion Connection technology optimized to redirect energy into the ball for explosive performance while minimizing hand sting. 
- Redesigned end cap (ReAction End Cap) to increase barrel performance and swing speed. 
 
**2021 - [CF Zen](%28https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/demarini/cf-zen-2020/l8432%29) (Latest Model)**
- New Paraflex Plus Composite delivers the perfect combination of balance and power. 
- Improved 3Fusion Connection and ReAction End Cap for enhanced feel, performance, and swing speed. 
- Attention to detail in material consistency for increased durability and performance across all pitch speeds. 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* Good bat, with less pop than 1-piece aluminum. Ideal for singles with a lighter swing weight. Composite material, so have 2 bats for high competition.
* My son is 11 years old. I was worried he would struggle to swing a 30/20 bat this year, considering he used a 29/19 bat last year. However, this bat is amazing! It is hot right out of the wrapper. I wouldn't even think about using another bat this year; this one is perfect.
* This is the best overall USA bat on the market. It has decent pop and great balance, making it a high-quality option.

**CONS**



* "The bat developed cracks in the sweet spot from regular use during batting practice. After six months, the cracks grew larger until there were two major ones, resembling a cave-in."
* Bat has pop but I've had a couple of friends crack this same bat after 4 games.
* Bought it for my son, 2nd time he used it, it cracked. He only hit league baseballs with it in warm weather.


### **Certification**: BBCOR, USSSA, USA


### Expert Notes ([Tony from BatExperts](https://sidelineswap.com/batexperts))

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. 


Pop: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Durability: ⭐⭐⭐
