2017 DeMarini CF Zen Reviews
The newest baseball bat available from DeMarini is the 2017 DeMarini CF Zen (click here to see Best BBCOR Bats of 2017). For those who have been looking forward to the DeMarini CF9, however, this baseball bat will not be made as the company has made the “CF Zen” instead. Don’t worry though. The 2016 DeMarini CF8 is being followed up on by the 2017 DeMarini CF Zen. The “CF Zen” will be a lot like the 2015 DeMarini CF7 and the 2016 DeMarini CF8. It is a two-piece, balanced baseball bat. It has been created with a larger sized barrel as well. This upgraded design brings the ability for professional performance levels along with a larger R & D budget, thanks to DeMarini / Wilson’s Company.
The reviews show that just about anyone who wanted to try the “CF Zen” and did, didn’t regret it. They were extremely impressed. This bat clearly dominates the Big Barrel bats, the Senior League, and the serious athlete in the BBCOR (check out top BBCOR Bats here). It is guessed that this bat will succeed in all areas, just the same as the models that have come before it.

The 2017 DeMarini CF Zen: How Is It Made?
The 2017 DeMarini CF Zen is made from carbon fiber and is a two-piece composite baseball bat. The two-piece composite baseball bats are extremely popular and that popularity has grown over the last few years. DeMarini’s bat line is most likely the leading reason for this growth in popularity.
The two-piece carbon fiber, or plastic, baseball bats are created by forming both the handle and the barrel separately. After they are formed, they are then melded together. A stiff transition is required to shove all the power to the ball, but also, a very hard transition shoving all the power during transfer can lead to a lot of stinging of the hand during miss-hits. This, in turn, removes the soft feel that most athletes love or, in turn, hate about the composite, two-piece baseball bat.
DeMarini states that they have a certain method which gives both the swing power and the advantage of no stinging within the hands during miss-hits. The statement is known as the D-Fusion 2.0 Handle, which was also available on DeMarini CF8. The D-Fusion 2.0 Handle uses a dampener during the mend which controls the vibration through the hands, while still being hard enough to give maximum power to the baseball.
This form of transition mending of the composite, two-piece bat is top of the line in the entire industry. It is ranked even with the Easton MAKO bat line, if not a bit better for the smoothness when connecting to the ball.
If you are a serious baseball player and looking for a bat and fit the above criteria, this is definitely the bat to help take your game to the next level.
