Testing the 2025 Demarini Zen: Is It Worth the Hype?

[@batbrosecretbackup]

What up guys. So, DeMarini changed their online copy/messaging a couple weeks ago in response to the video. Previously, they had specifically stated that the '25 Zen barrel was their "largest-ever barrel profile". Semantics, I know, but I figured I'd call it out because y'all brought it up.

Thanks!

[@nukeboys4080]

Awesome video! Excited to see more, glad y’all are back making them!

[@batdigest]

Thanks yo. We back. And got some fire power too. Hahah.

[@theyluvh3id1]

can you do easton hype fire next? maybe on a field outside so i can really see how good it is if you can

[@batdigest]

On it. Not sure we'll get it outside, but we'll have some hittrax video of it here shortly. Should be fun...

[@theyluvh3id1]

@@batdigest ok thanks so much

[@tit0783]

Just a question how come you are swinging the -10?

[@batdigest]

We think all USSSA bats are made for kids. So there's no difference in an adult swinging a drop 5, 8, 10 or 11. All for kids. We'll hit the drop 5s at some point too.

[@jeremyhinkle2468]

This is a great idea. Too many reviews of only the drop 5 bats, when the drop 10/8 are obviously very different.

[@Deyy134]

Yo should I get the zen drop 5 or the icon drop 5

[@dadbod4life]

My son loves his 2022 Zoa. He might move to a more balanced bat to see how he does. Thinking Icon, or Tank. 30" -10 will be his next bat.

[@batdigest]

Nice. Let us know how it goes. Always like to get real player feedback.

[@Sportsprods50]

I love that new bat I wish I had it

[@batdigest]

It's pretty. You should get it.

[@Sportsprods50]

I can’t I wish we had that money tho

[@DABEARS14]

Demarini zen or soldier tank which is better for drop 8

[@batdigest]

We think the Zen!

[@FlynnAndThaneShow]

Where can I buy the bat size rings?

[@batdigest]

Not sure. We have them in our bat lab and have been using them for years. Mizuno sent us some many moons ago.

[@JuanGomez-qe8se]

They put that dark matter composite in a high fire. Mine broke, and I saw the black matter composite

[@batdigest]

Was it just normal composite? Or it look crazy?

[@WillfFureey-xc1gr]

Just saying somebody his size has no business reviewing a -10

[@batdigest]

I get where you're coming from, but let’s be real-these are all kids’ bats, even the drop 5. So comparing a drop 5 to a drop 10 is like comparing apples to slightly bigger apples. Same orchard!

[@WillfFureey-xc1gr]

Ok that makes more sense now thanks

[@kayadog71]

@@batdigest I get what you're saying but the CF8 was a drop 8. Why not swing a drop 8 version of each bat for a actual comparison? In your analogy the CF8 is a bigger apple.

[@theyluvh3id1]

second??

[@batdigest]

Haha

First!
