DeMarini Zoa BBCOR Baseball Bat

The DeMarini Zoa is a two-piece composite BBCOR bat with end-loaded swing weight and a very flexible connection, giving the swing a whippy, lively feel that encourages hitters to let the barrel work rather than muscle the ball. The extra mass out front rewards players who can time the load and stay through contact — it creates real gap power and added carry on hard-hit balls. The flexible handle does an excellent job of dampening sting on mishits, making off-center contact more comfortable than it would be in a stiff design. This bat needs a legitimate break-in period before it reaches peak performance, so plan your prep accordingly before relying on it in games. Best suited for power-forward hitters with consistent timing who are willing to invest the break-in time.
