FZN COMPOSITE CORE
TECHNOLOGY
THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
The first ever wood composite bat that delivers the pop, barrel profile and sweet spot of top-performing metal bats
METAL SWING WITHOUT THE PING
Imagine you get all the performance of the leading BBCOR alloy bat PLUS the look, sound and feel of real wood. That's why we call FZN Composite Core™ "The Best of Both Worlds", and we have data to prove it.
Delano's Original Gamer™ produced consistently greater exit velocities than the top ranked alloy bat.
The chart plots actual data from Washington State University (WSU), the official BBCOR certification testing lab, which compares exit velocities of The OG and a top-selling alloy on the market. The test is controlled for swing speed between both bats.
OUR HERITAGE AND MISSION
Delano Bat Company has been in the baseball bat business for many years. We started in the solid wood market, and we heard many of our loyal customers telling us they didn’t particularly like the feel or sound of their alloy or composite bats, but they had no other options without sacrificing performance.
MASSIVE BARREL
LARGER SWEET SPOT
OPTIMAL CONTACT ZONE
FZN Composite Core™ enables a wood barrel to perform like metal. The patented design and process push the boundaries of materials science to create a barrel diameter and sweet spot greater than any other wood composite bat, and a barrel that competes with any metal BBCOR.

THE NEXT EVOLUTION
IN BASEBALL BAT TECHNOLOGY
FZN Composite Core™ Technology was invented and patented by Delano Bat Company – with a unique design and manufacturing process that pushes the limits of allowed BBCOR performance. In fact, our first attempts at BBCOR certification failed for TOO MUCH pop!
We’re offering the first of its kind in a whole new category.
WOOD BAT TRADITIONS
The first alternative to the traditional wood bat gained popularity in the 1970s. With a focus on durability, aluminum emerged as the first alternative to wood. Bat materials have incrementally through today with aluminum or polymer composite being primary options.
Wood hasn’t been considered for a solution for high performing baseball bats in the youth market. Traditionally, beyond Major League Baseball, wood bats are relegated to wood bat leagues and for those that crave the classic feel, look, sound and tradition of wood.
SEE, HEAR AND FEEL
THE DIFFERENCE
The solid maple exterior of the Original Gamer™ gives hitters the unrivaled feel, classic sound, and the clean look of a traditional stick with a large barrel and balanced swing weight to make consistent contact and put the ball in play. The Original Gamer™ is pre-hardened and broken-in to start hot and stay hot so you can rake right out of the box.
