Pros: I didn't buy this bat for the name or fancy graphics or the price. I bought it because of the weight. Turns out to be a good quality bat. Last year took my son for a hitting lesson with a former major league player. Five minutes into the lesson he took his 17 oz composite bat off him and put into his hands an old 1980's model easton 25 oz bat. After the lesson he explained to me that the best thing I could do for my son was to put him into a heavier bat. He explained that young kids never learn to turn on the ball using light weight bats. They get used to wrestling the light weight bats with their hands and arms and never put power into the swing. This bat is one of the heaviest length to weight ratios out there and once they get used to swinging it, they will become better more consistent hitters.
Cons: A bit pricy for metal.
Review Summary
based on 9 ratings. 9 user reviews.
New for 2012! The new Anderson TechZilla was created to help make the average ballplayer into great hitter! With this bat, Anderson has created a way for the average hitter to swing faster without sacrificing control. This starts with the one-piece all-metal alloy frame that has a balanced swing weight to help players swing evenly and in control. However, it's the multi-wall construction that makes this bat unique. Anderson abandons conventional thinking when it comes to the multi-wall by introducing Internal PowerArch Technology to the TechZilla. This technology incorporates an arched interior sleeve design to generate maximum legal performance and an optimized moment of inertia (MOI). An lower MOI allows players to swing faster, which results in more power behind every swing! The TechZilla also features a TaperFlex Contour and TrueFlex End Cap that both aid in vibration reduction. Both of these integral parts also strengthen the barrel and keep energy locked in. Holding it all together, Anderson's Grooved Assembly System locks and fortifies the shell, sleeve, and end cap, providing increased barrel elasticity and superior durability. With an ultra-thin whip handle, SG-I Sport Grip, and weldless ergonomic knob, the TechZilla feels better in your hands than any bat ever has. Anderson: Manufactured With Pride in the U.S.A.! The TechZilla is approved for play in Little League, Babe Ruth, Dixie, Pony, AABC, and USSSA. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

by Oppo Taco - Mar 10, 2012
Pros: Great bat! lots of pop if used by someone with a good swing. This is a very smooth swinging bat... seems like it will be very durable.
Cons: Could be a bit on the heavy side for some kids.
by OppoTaco - Mar 29, 2012
Pros: If you are looking for a big name bat, look somewhere else... if you are looking to crush the ball, look no farther! In the hands of a kid with good swing mechanics the ball will jump off this bat and travel fast and far. As others have said...it is heavier than most youth bats, but this is the beauty of it...a good swing will not "feel" the heaviness as it is relatively balanced...but you will SEE the heaviness in the result. The Zilla certainly is a Beast!
Cons: There are no Cons to this bat...some inexperienced hitters may not be able to handle it yet but should keep working on mechanics so that they can handle the Zilla in the future!

Pros: I bought this bat just before my sons tournament this weekend. He went 6 for 8 and hit his first home run ever! This bat has major pop!
Cons:
by MikeyLikesIt - Apr 03, 2012
Pros: Tried the Eastons, the Louivilles etc. Couldnt believe the difference. My son hits farther and the ball comes off the bat faster. My son said when he hits it just right he can't even feel the ball hit the bat. Other reviews say the Techzilla dents easily. Havent seen that yet but I bet at the end of the season I'm going to want to frame our Dented Techzilla and hang it on the wall! Awesome bat!
Cons: Really dont care for the color

Ask QuestionIs this better in the cold weather than a full composite bat?
Asked by cold stone on Apr 26, 2012
It is really recommended not to use any bat in temperatures around 50 degress or colder. However, alloy bats do tend to stand up a little better than composite bats do in colder temperatures.

Can a Techzilla be used in a batting cage without being damaged?
Asked by Doty on Apr 11, 2012
If your batting cage uses real baseballs, and not those yellow dimpled balls, then yes, it will be okay to use the Techzilla in the cages. Just make sure you're using real baseballs, as you would use in a game.

Is this a composite barrel?
Asked by turtle on Mar 17, 2012
The 2012 Anderson TechZilla XP: KTXP Youth is not composite rather a full alloy design featuring a multi-wall barrel!
· Mar 17, 2012
Is this bat comparable to the 2006/2007 TechZilla?
Asked by Hitem Up on Mar 06, 2012
Not much has changed over the years with the TechZilla. Anderson has improved the alloy material to give the TechZilla added strength. In terms of performance though, not much has changed based on customer feedback...it may even be better.

Is this bat legal for Little League?
Asked by Doug on Feb 13, 2012
Yes, this bat will be approved for Little League. This bat is an alloy bat and will be very durable.

I need a Legal Little League Bat- however my 12 year old is 5'10" and 160 - so he needs a 33" and a heavy bat
Asked by steve on Feb 08, 2012
Unfortunately, small barrel bats only go up to a 32 inches. We only have 33 inch bats in the big barrel. If he is playing in the Junior League Division, we would be able to use a big barrel bat.

How does this bat compare to the 2010 model?
Asked by Big hitter on Feb 06, 2012
The 2012 Techzilla is more balanced and a slightly larger sweet spot than the 2010 model.

which is the better bat?? the techzilla or nanotech?? my son has the 2011 & it dented less than a month after he had it..
Asked by marlo_b1 on Dec 08, 2011
