Buy this Louisville Slugger because it feels right, not because it looks good. It looks great, but the features a hitter needs are in how it swings and how it connects. It does both well.The sense of balance is solid when ready to swing, as well as through the entire motion. Only real game time can test the sweet spot, but each swing and hit felt as it should. This is not the aluminum bat I had as a kid.For me, a batting cage and pick-up game enthusiast, I am pleased. It is the best bat I have ever owned.For those of you in a competition league, be sure to check if this bat is allowed. A great bat is only a great bat if it is permitted for use. With that caveat, I fully recommend the Louisville Slugger Z-1000.Anthony Trendlanthonytrendl.com
ReplyDeleteIt feels a little bit spongy compared to a non-BBCOR bat, but it does have a nice sweet spot. Great in the batting cages or against live pitching. It is nicely balanced for a smooth swing. It's found a regular spot in my bat rotation.
ReplyDeleteThis Louisville Slugger 2012 TPX Z-1000 bat is beyond my wildest dreams.First and for most this bat is the perfect length and weight for me (6'2" - 235 lbs). Some may find the bat to be a bit heavy and slow on the swing, so I'd suggest going with the 32"/29 version. With each swing you can tell they spent an amazing amount of time and effort designing this bat. And the grip right out of the box is great, no need to regrip it.The sweet spot on this bat is more like a sweet zone, much larger than I expected and with minimal vibration and flex felt in the handle. And the balls just pop right off the face of the bat with an amazing "ping".Without a doubt this is an engineering marvel in terms of bat technology. The price tag may seem a bit steep, but it's worth the investment 100%!
