I can tell you that the 2013 Z-2000 is an excellent bat and many places cannot keep it on the shelf. We've been using Louisville's for the past 3 seasons and I am impressed with the improvements they have made. I'd put them on par with Miken these days for pop and sweet spot.

I've heard through the grapevine that the new 2013 Mike Physcho (black with orange) is the hottest bat out. I have not had any cuts with this one but I did buy one.
