Our Review
AUTO-DRAFT — neutral review grounded in published specs; Mike's DeMarini editorial guidance is still pending, so no slant has been applied. This is the USSSA (1.15 BPF) version of the 2027 Zen, with a 2 3/4" Dark Matter composite barrel and the same two-piece Anomaly Connection handle designed to minimize hand sting while maximizing energy transfer. The balanced -10 profile targets travel-ball hitters who prioritize bat speed and barrel control. MSRP is listed around $399.95.
