Of all the people who have used and broke a Z4k how many rolled, viced, or used any other method of so called "advanced break-in" methods including hitting exceptional hard softballs? If so then I don't think you should complain. Just my opinion.
My team took some bp indoor and I let everyone use my Bachman that I know has not been altered in any way. We used mixture of Classic M's and +'s with no issues other than the handle twisting which seems to be normal. I would say we put 350-400 swings on it and it looks minty.

What kind of balls to they play with in conference? Oh, that's right, ZN's. So should these bats not be able to be used in conference, or they should only last 80-100 swings?
Rolling and vicing your bats is just weak, but hitting something harder than a 52/275 should be okay.

Do guys in Conference care about durability? No. They don't give a hoot, they have 12 more niw ready to go. So sure, while they are designed for 52, they pelt the ZNs and break them and don't care knowing they have a bunch of free ones g2g outta wrapper nowadays. You realize DC is probably done with a bat after a Conference game or weekend and or a Derby right?
Do you play conference and hit ZN? Or just hit those so to get extra mileage on your hits at BP?
I just wish they'd switch everything to 52's and disclaim on the bats now what they are made for.
Tired of all the hearsay and breakage arguments.
FWIW no one in Canada is breaking these over light BP. And we are pelting Hot Dots in cold domes right now. We are talking bats in cars at -20*C and same with the balls to walk into domes barely above 0-10*C and beat the crap out of various brands. Nothing is breaking at the rate this site and board bros are writing.
So I have to agree with that post. Something is up. :wtf2:
