Nestled just outside of Atlanta, Georgia is a town of 14,000+ people that, despite a rich history, isn't well-known. But after launching in 2015, Dirty South Bats is looking to put Winder, Georgia on the map.

Dirty South Bats is a USA bat manufacturer specializing in crafting baseball bats and fastpitch bats. Their differentiator? The company is one of the only composite baseball bats made in America. With all their bats proudly handmade in Barrow County, Georgia, JustBats.com couldn't resist learning more about this unique bat maker.

When major bat manufacturers released their initial USABat offerings in September 2017, there was a noticeable absence -- the DeMarini CF Zen.

DeMarini opted to take their time on releasing a their popular bat series approved for USA Baseball, but now it's here. In this bat review, JustBats.com examines the 2018 DeMarini CF Zen -10 USA Baseball bat.

Pay attention, power hitters.

Have you heard of Team USA softball legend and Miken Sports advisory staff member Denny Crine? His signature slow pitch bat, the DC-41, has been a constant on fields across the nation for over five years. For the 2018 season, both the ASA and the USSSA model are ready to dominate diamonds and petrify pitchers with their best-in-class composite materials and industry-leading bat technology. 

USA Baseball approved youth bats have now been available since September. So far the customer reactions to USA Bats has been mixed.

However, bats such as Easton's Ghost X, Rawlings' Quatro, and the Louisville Slugger Solo 618 have garnered high marks. Adopting style and features from its parent baseball bat (Solo 618 BBCOR Bat), the Louisville Slugger Solo 618 USA Baseball Bat is set to take off for the 2018 season. JustBats.com has collected initial feedback on this new USA Bat bat and here is what we discovered.

Zen 
[zen] (noun)
A total state of focus that incorporates a complete togetherness of body and mind. 

CF Zen
[cee-ef-zen[ (noun)
A baseball bat built for all out grinders.

For the 2018 season, DeMarini has outdone themselves yet again. Their lightest and their most balanced composite bat is back, better than ever, and ready to dominate the diamond. JustBats.com details the CF Zen in this bat review.

When Louisville Slugger introduced the Prime series in 2015, the baseball bats were billed as "the ultimate combination of speed, power, and balance in baseball." The Louisville Slugger Prime 915 boosted a premium composite barrel, stiff handle technology, and a patented three-piece construction. And, sure enough, the Prime 915 was one of the most popular BBCOR bats of 2015.

Now, Louisville Slugger has rolled out the fourth rendition of their Prime series: the 2018 Prime 918. Since the Prime series continues to be one of the highest rated baseball bats, JustBats.com reviews why the Prime 918 is going to make an impact on baseball fields.

When USA Baseball announced a new standard for measuring youth baseball bats, some parents were concerned. The reason? A previously purchased baseball bat was being rendered useless after 2018 depending on their child's League. And, of course, that meant researching, selecting, and hoping for similar results from a new bat.

Now that the USA Baseball approved baseball bats have been released, JustBats.com has collected initial feedback on the new USA Bat bats.

Boo!
