its crazy that people cant even ask a simple question or ask for opinions on here without being attacked and/or made to feel like they broke some imaginary posting rules that only one member knows about. this post and the 'should i buy a psycho' post eventually turn into advertisements for lurkers to stay lurking instead of contributing and newbies to never come back. maybe when the powers that be notice the decline in new members and decreased site traffic leading to decreased internet sales then this type of behaviour will be put in check.
but anyway, to answer your question, i'd say switch to easton and get one of the helmers, either L1 or L4, but go 1 ounce down from what you swing with Z's. both are 2-piece, 12in barrel, good sweet spot, much more durable, and endloaded..but the endload on the easton L series bats gets more noticeable as you go up in weight. and you may as well get one of the 2014's, pm coach or call the store for best pricing on a new one, or buy slightly used here on the forums with time left on the warranty. easton customer service is excellent, and you won't need to call unless you want something different than what the replacement would be, in which case they are usually cool enough to just give you a credit that you can use to buy whatever you want from their website (if you ask nicely).
