Besides the new Z4000 USSSA/NSA Balanced model (Red) and End load model (Green), the new Power Load will be the .5oz End Load Signature model for Backmann Shoppe, just like the Z3000+ that has already been talked about. The Hyper Z is the new Senior model that is ridiculous. The other two new things for next year, which I think a lot of people will be excited about are the Balanced and End Loaded Dual Stamp models. (Yellow-End Load, Orange-Balanced in the second pic posted). These ASA Dual Stamps still will have the discs in them.
These Dual Stamps will be a great addition again to the lineup as well as some more new things to come later in the season.... 2015 will be a great year for Slugger.

Our kids have been swing the new LXT in fastpitch with pretty good success. Ball jumps off the bat. I was intrigued with the new paint scheme having a sand paper type feeling on it. I have seen USSSA umps toss bat with too much 3M on it, so it will be interesting to what they will say about the paint.

New dual stamps bats hey! Damn I may just have to try one of these out again! I loved the Z2K dual stamp but was not a huge fan of the Z3 and ended up switching to the Aftermath for ASA.
But a dual stamp would be nice again!

Dual stamp has me excited especially since there are no disks in them. I really liked the Utrip 2k's and 3k's but was underwhelmed with the ASA versions. Really hoping these dual stamps get it right.
ive asked on like 6 different FB pages and 2 threads here and no one responds. If it's just more pure360, I'll pass probably although the dual stamp EL is intriguing.

This is what I wanna know, since I just purchased a Z3. Other than the Power Load & Senior bat, are the Z4's essentially just a new paint job on the Z3?

I'm not a fan of the flex in the Z3 (assuming the Z4 will be the same), but I may try one out for a dual stamp without the stupid discs. We still play ASA with 44's in some places and the ASA Z's with discs just don't seem to fare well against the 44's.

Yeah, I thought the Z3K was supposed to be called such because of a 3 piece design. That's what I get for thinkin.

How do the Bachmann model weigh? Do they run light or heavy?

Also the Z4000 Dual Stamps will have the discs in them, their will potentially be a future release in the summer with a dual stamp discless one which is the prototype that I tested and still is being tested. I know a lot of people will be waiting for this one to come out since some ASA leagues still use a harder ball, but the prototype I tested hits all compression types great. I apologize for any confusion earlier.

What composite are they? Are they 2 piece ? 3 piece ?4 piece? What's the difference in these and the 3000's? Pictures are cool and all but we want to know the details.
they are pure360 according to the catalog screen shot i saw. I'll pass on these
Yep time to stock up on the Og 2000's
Me too. Got to swing one in BP in worlds in Vegas . Swings heavy. I normally swing a 27 ounce. Had to drop an ounce. Felt good in my hands. The ball jumped off the bat and it seemed like it had another gear. The bats have a rough feel on the barrel to grip the ball. I was told they will be coming out in January. But been reading February or March. Can't wait.

Night and day. The Z2K swings like a 1 piece and had a stiff barrel. The Z3K is flexy and has a softer barrel. This is IMO, of course.
