Easton has taken that new tech and added it to a good ole single piece aluminum bat. Like the 2015 Easton S3z (without the TORQ), the 2016 Easton Z-Core TORQ incorporates an internal composite reinforcement along the barrel's length to give the bat a considerably large barrel for a single piece alloy. As well, the reinforcement allows for a thinner alloy and, ergo, a lighter swing. Compared to the 2015 Z-Core, the bat also boasts a new "Torq Taq" grip. We didn't find that piece particularly compelling, but it is 'new' nonetheless.
The Z-Core TORQ is a hot out of the wrapper BBCOR bat with a relatively light swing weight and a spinning handle. As such, we'd recommend the bat for Collegiate or High School players who prefer hot out of the wrapper bats with balanced swings and are comfortable/prefer a bat with a rotating bottom hand handle. The fact the bat is only released in BBCOR suggests Easton also understands that a single piece bat alloy bat isn't of particular interest to younger players, who tend to prefer the smooth feel of hybrid and composite barreled bats.
The 2016 Easton Z-Core TORQ is a new bat in Easton's line up. This is the first bat to be a single piece alloy bat with Easton's famed rotating handle, made famous on the 2015 Easton Torq. The barrel and transition of the bat are built after the 2015 Easton S3z.
