Super z kevin Kennington

I think so.
Very very tight flex that doesn't seem to grow to a wobble with age.
After 150 cuts, bat is as good as anything else out there on the market.
I wouldn't waste my money gambling on OG's (whether they wobble or not, whether they last or not, how many hits, how long til worked in etc). I would just buy a Kennington with warranty now personally, knowing a few BPs and it's good to go.
I thought OGs were a little overhyped. They were OK, for their time. Quickly got left in the dust by some others in following years.
Kennington SZ with a little work is up there with Nighthawk and Miken/Worth bats if you dig their feel. They feel sturdy and tough, and seem very durable from those I have seen of 2015 and 2016 Super Z's with most balls.
Personally I still prefer Nighthawk but would have no issues switching to the KK SZ bats if I had to.

Mine has over 200 cuts on its nowhere near my freak30 right now. It might get there with time imho it will be a good bat just might take a little more work to get it there which is fine by me I like hitting bp. Haven't swung the 15 super z so I can't tell you anything about that. Honestly I will keep an update on this bat when it gets to 400 cuts because I have just reached the point now where the sound is changing.
I haven't swung the KK yet, should be able to this weekend, from what I have been told by friends who have, it's an absolute fire stick. And as stated above will likely slip under the radar due to the current Miken/Worth hype. Good news is, in a few months there will likely be a bunch of super z's on sale at most retailers.

have been swinging it in league. Not as hot as my 15 Super Z with a wobble but it is getting there. Distance is starting to come around really good with this bat.
Agree with everyone else about this being under the radar. Hot durable sticks that will pass compression way longer than worth or miken

Weight and load wise yes.
In terms of break in time, no. This year's is pretty damn g2g out of wrapper. 100-150 cuts and it's fire.
Still prefer my Nighthawk, but finding myself swinging the GF's Super Z a lot at random. Great stick. Hype it gets is well due IMHO. Best LS bat in some time I feel. (She has the Utrip Balanced of the Kennington of this year's)
That being said, last year's was pretty good but took more like 400-500 to get lively. This year's take much much less. Almost out of wrapper g2g.

Really good bat for LS this year. Nice to see them give power hitters and stiff bat lovers a flavour with performance here.
Had weened off LS after their 2pc were all wet bendy noodle type bats (Z3000 & Z4000 and all the reissue stuff)
Super Z was ok last year, but took a lot of work to wake up.
This year's is really really good early on. Took almost nothing to work in the GF's balanced one.
Great bat, with a nice stiff sturdy feel and generous sweet spot.

its getting there now i can feel the difference plus im hitting and bping this one more to get ti ready for the next tournament
My first one of these is absolutely on fire right now. I've actually been going back and forth with my '16 Kennington and my OG Freak12 (roughly 700 swings and about to blow up) and have not seen any real decrease in performance. Awfully glad I picked up a second one last year when they were dirt cheap at the end of the year.
