Pros: one japan player has hit 63 homeruns in 1 season looks like a good bat to me
Cons: shouldn't even be aloud in little league
Pros: I just bought my 7 year old this bat the second time he used it he hit a bomb 180' it's a 30/19 and he don't struggle with it and to top it off my 6 year old ate the defense up with it tonight.... GREAT BAT
Cons: None
Pros: Just bought a 31/20 2013 CF5 for my 11 year old son. He absolutely loves it. More pop than his 30/18 Easton S1, and built better too. His Easton S1 had the end label fall off repeatedly until I glued it on with epoxy. DeMarini = Made in America Easton = Made in China
Cons:
Pros: Great bat. Little pricey, but you get what you pay for. Make sure you break the bat in for best results. I hit over 200 balls before bat starting hitting to it's full potential. I had the Easton S1 bat 28/16 oz and this bat has outperformed the Easton. Just don't think you can take bat out of box and start hitting homers. Breaking the bat in correctly is the key to getting the full potential out of this bat.
Cons: None! One of the best bats ever.
Pros: great weight, great balance, and great pop. First time using it in a game, my son hit a double to deep left and then next at bat hit a 205 foot home run to right field.
Cons: need to swing it to hit it.
Pros: it is insane buy it the ball jumps off it
Cons: none
Pros: very awesome bat,I actually got this bat and i hit 2 homeruns in the Solanco 9 year old All-Stars!! has a very good pop. Best bat u could ever have!!
Cons: how much you have to warm up the bat:( Nothing else on the bad side
Pros: Very good bat. has lots of pop, lots of flex, and is also very balanced. However, because of it's power, its good for a contact hitter and power hitter.
Cons: none really. except for 2012 cf5 looks cooler:)
Pros: Everything is just amazing with this bat. Just so much pop this is amazing. Go get it.
Cons: Ha, none.
Pros: Great. I'm 8 years old and 55 lbs. I've cleared our 250 ft. fence in 5 straight at bats. Loving it!
Cons: None.
Pros: great pop even weight distribuation just like my cf4
Cons: nothing but if you find a demarini cf4 it has a little more pop
Pros: Nice feel, nice look. Good pop.
Cons: Heavy, slows down bat speed. Compared to non-comp DeMarini, this is at least 1oz heavier.
Pros: Best bat ever.
Cons: None.
Pros: My 12 yo who has been a little-league all-star the past two years and also plays pony has used a few pricey bats over the past years. An Omen XL, a Voodoo, a techzilla and last year's CF5 hae all served well. This bat blows them all out of the water. The managers of both our current teams, plus the batting instructor at the local cages, not top mention everyone else on the team are amazed at the pop and the balance and easy swing of this bat. You will be as well.
Cons: Price! Weighs 21.2 ozs NOT 20 as advertised!!! We knew it weighed more than claimed ahead of time and wanted that weight. Heavier can be good, and we bought this on purpose. BUT DeMarini should not publish a -11 on a -10/-9.5 bat!!! For some this may matter...
Pros: AMAZING!my friend used my cf5 and he hit a home run over a 220 ft fence and he had never hit any good in his life.He's ONLY 9 years old.
Cons: NONE! NONE! NOTHING is wrong with this bat
Pros: Looks good, well made Solid pop after break in
Cons: Feels heavier than other 30" 19oz bats. If your swing speed is not fast enough this could make a difference.
Pros: IM 10 and the first two times i hit with it i hit home runs that bounced off the scoreboard 250 feet away.
Cons: NONE!!!!!! Best bat great sweet spot
Pros: I wish i could get one
Cons: I cant get one
Pros: Great bat, lots of pop, better than Easton S1
Cons: Not as good as XL1, barrel not as big
Pros: this is the best bat so far for my son. He has used the CF4 and Voodoo. this 2013 CF5 has out preformed both and is yet to be fully broke in. hes short and lite for his age can wait for his first game the outfielders r going to move in on him, and hes going to bust it over their head.
Cons: if i would have waited a week i would have save 50 buck
Pros: Lots of pop and it's also very light. I recommend it to every kid in little league, but if you're kind of nervous about seeing what this bat can do then ask a friend or teammate to try the bat out. If nobody has the bat I'm confident that you will love it.
Cons: None.
Pros: Phat graphics
Cons: Everything else
Pros: Great bat. I recently got it and the first hit of my game I hit it over a 300 foot fence. I barely swung. Next at bat my buddy Jason hit it over the same fence and I'm loving this bat. It has tremendous pop and it's the best of the best.
Cons: None at all.
Pros: This bat is AMAZING. everthing is a PRO. I got it last year for 249.99 and i hit the reccomended 300 hits with it and i went out to Solanco 9 yr. old All Stars and hit 2 265 ft. BOMBS with it.
Cons: Noting at all but some balls that you hit get all the lettering from the ball on it a little bit.
Pros: Very nice bat we have five kids on the team with them now
Cons: None
Pros: best bat ever amazing pop
Cons: there is nothing at all wrong with this bat
Pros: There is so much to love about this bat. Looks great, has a great grip, durable and unbelievable pop with a -11 drop.
Cons: Paint chips.
Pros: Great balance, the ball explodes off of the bat.
Cons: The first week the paint and logo's started coming off. I've had bats for three years that look better.
Pros: Love the style of the bat great bat especially for my friend who bats 4th in the lineup he just crushes the ball
Cons: none except that im in a huge batting slump
Pros: Used it and it's good.
Cons:
Pros: when I first used this bat I slugged the ball way out into center field.
Cons:
Pros: My baseball team used this bat and hit 5 homers in one game. Huge pop.
Cons: Color.
Pros: It's great.
Cons: NOTHING.
Pros: My son has had this bat for 2 weeks. Already hit 3 homers and several blazing line drive and grounders. Definitely worth the money hot right out of wrapper but hes hit probably 250 balls since it came in and itgets hotter!
Cons: Got a few paint chips already but nothing major
Pros: I am thinking about getting this bat. Looks good so far it has good reviews on the bat.
Cons: I don't have it.
Pros: just so much pop its outstanding just amazing great job
Cons: nothing
Pros: Great pop!!!!! I have hit 24 home runs already in practice.
Cons: None This bat is completely flawless!!!!
Pros: This bat has extremely good pop. I even hit my first career homerun with it, and tons more in batting practice. Truly a great bat with a good price.
Cons: The duribility on this bat is low. I didn't even get into the spring season with it, and I bought it in the fall.
Pros: Very good pop easy to break-in. Hit a 290' HR with it my first AB.
Cons: Very low durability. I bought it at the beginning of the summer and it only lasted until the end of fall.
Pros: great pop quicker bat
Cons: none
Pros: Great weight ratio with great pop. Intimidating bat in both performance and style.
Cons: That I didnt get this bat sooner.
Pros: Looks great. Paint job is nice. The grip is very sticky which improves slipping when swinging. The sound when you hit the ball on the sweet spot lets you know you got a hold of the ball. Ripped a 2 RBI double first time up at the plate.
Cons: You have to get used to the different sweet spot as it is with any bat. Barrel gets marked up very easily. Also, the end cap, as it is with being white, turned brown the first game with it. Paint also chipped on the lower barrel handle. But those are things that don't effect your hitting so overall it's an amazing bat. I highly recommend this from a serious baseball player in a serious league.
Pros: Hits well, great bat speed, does damage to the ball.
Cons: None.
Pros: Great pop. My 11 year old 95pounds, hit his first homerun today with it.
Cons:
Pros: I bought this bat as soon as it came out, I bought with confidence that demarini , will back up there bat, if it dents or goes dead,,,,, WRONG. I panicked once I started reading there return reviews, customers where outraged, and now I am, do not think there is a warranty , they say dents are not caused by balls, and if there's a dead bat , they totally deny and lie, , if you would like to chat with me contact me at boston567@aol.com
Cons: The bat failed , save your money, I wish I bought the Easton omen
Pros: amazing pop the entire team uses it. for got it tonight and no one could hit the ball to save there sole
Cons:
Pros: Best bat I have ever had. Tons of pop. Huge sweet spot. I'm 12, i'm not a power hitter but I hit a 250 foot bomb with it. Half of my team uses it. I recommend this to a good contact/power hitter.
Cons: None.
Pros: My friend got this bat and I was about to get it. I tried his out to see if I liked it. I hit one to the fence and it isn't even broken-in yet. I am 10 years old and I was looking for a heavier bat. My friend and I are both power hitters and we crush with this bat. This is the perfect bat for a stronger kid looking to jack it.
Cons: Why is this here?
Pros: This bat has great pop.
Cons: If you put one of these down you are a loser.
Pros: all
Cons: none
Pros: Amazing pop good grip

Cons: none the bat is great
Pros: This bat has pretty amazing pop. If you're a power hitter, this bat is just perfect for you.
Cons: It just doesn't sound all that good when you hit it. I'm sure it is because it's composite.

Cons: White nob gets dirty over time
Pros: My team bought the s3 now i cant keep the ball in the park
Cons: none
Pros: Super duper shweeet!
Cons:
Pros: I don't like my players crediting the bat when they hit well, but have to say this bat has the most pop I have seen..I believe it is because of the weight distributed toward the barrel.

Pros: This bat has a ton of pop . I hit my first home run with it. There's almost no sting at all. I also love the grip.
Cons: Not super durable.
Pros: Great pop, nice sound when ball hits the bat.
Cons: If you miss the ball, IT WILL VIBRATE. Also, it takes 150-200 swings to break in. Also, lots of scratches.

About the Brand
In 1992, DeMarini Sports had something to celebrate. The three-year-old company had climbed a rung on the proverbial ladder of success, moving its world headquarters from a dirt-floored barn to a slightly larger metal shack. "It was a big move for us," recalled Ray DeMarini from the batting cage of DeMarini Sport’s present-day Bat Industrial Complex. "The new shop was larger, more storm resistant, and -best of all- it had a heater."
In the early days, DeMarini Sports hardly made a blip on the radar screen of softball. With no retailers and virtually no advertising budget, DeMarini grew steadily by selling high-performance bats directly to customers. While established companies made "juiced" bats for the pros and ordinary bats for the public, DeMarini focused on making one line of high-performance bats for pros and amateurs alike. This approach, combined with a passion for the sport, led to the greatest innovation in softball history - the world’s first multi-wall bat: the DeMarini Doublewall.
Released in 1993, the DeMarini Doublewall was the world’s first multi-wall bat. Like a modern golf driver or oversized tennis racket, the Doublewall had a giant "sweetspot," which allowed average players to hit like pros. DeMarini’s sales exploded, and before long opposing bat manufacturers to notice. DeMarini - a homegrown company led by a softball fanatic - had shaken the establishment silly.
To understand the rise of the DeMarini Dynasty, you need to know Ray DeMarini. A cult hero among avid players, Ray DeMarini emerged on the professional softball scene at the age of 40, a veritable geriatric among younger players. With a scientific approach to training, a batting speed of 96 miles-per-hour and a bombastic attitude, DeMarini fast earned a reputation as a savage competitor.
In June of 1987, ESPN launched a nationwide search for a hardcore player to advise on a series of instructional softball videos. When approached by producer Erich Lytle, the biggest boys in softball repeatedly spoke of a five-foot-seven softball giant—Ray DeMarini. DeMarini had mastered reflex hitting, a technique that drops the ball squarely between the infield and outfield. Impressed with DeMarini's knowledge and scientific approach to training, Lytle not only hired Ray as an advisor—he hired him as the host. Together, they produced Ray DeMarini's Reflex Hitting System, ESPN's most successful home video to date.
Having garnered national recognition through ESPN, Ray turned his efforts toward designing a high-performance bat for the masses. To accomplish this, he needed an engineer. "Not just an engineer," he said, "but a boot-strapping rocket scientist who could build an empire with pocket change." Ray's call was answered by Mike Eggiman. Having grown up on a farm, Eggiman was adept at making the most of a situation. Case in point: the company's first piece of automated bat-making equipment had the heart of an abandoned washing machine.
With Eggiman as Chief Engineer, DeMarini Sports delivered a series of industry firsts: the first multi-wall bat (Doublewall Distance), the first high-performance bat for massive players (Fatboy) and the first high-performance youth bat (Black Coyote).
In 2000, DeMarini joined forces with Wilson Sporting Goods to develop the next generation of hitting technology. Ray believed it was a perfect fit, as both companies shared a vision of developing game-enhancing equipment for avid players. What’s more, the companies had complimentary products: Wilson was the leader in gloves, balls and protective gear, while DeMarini made the world’s finest bats. According to Chris Considine, Vice President/General Manager of Wilson Sporting Goods: "The thing that struck me most about DeMarini was their passion for sports and their true competitiveness.
Within a year, DeMarini unveiled the industry’s first concept bat, the $35,000 F1. Secured under lock and key at the DeMarini Bat Industrial Complex in Hillsboro, Oregon, the F1 served as a technological storehouse for future products, including DeMarini’s landmark Half & Half system.
In December 2001, 12 years after the genesis of DeMarini Sports, Ray DeMarini died of cancer in his Northwest Portland home. He was 55. The next summer, the Portland Metro Softball Association paid homage to the “King of Softball” with the dedication of Ray DeMarini Field. Formerly known as Delta #1, the field was DeMarini’s favorite place to test bats during the early days of business. Ray DeMarini—bat maker and player extraordinaire—was remembered for his high-performance softball bats and unwavering encouragement of everyday players. Today, a 40-foot sign announcing RAY DEMARINI FIELD graces the outfield, and an interpretive display chronicling Ray’s life greets players as they register for games.
More "Insane Dedication to Performance" is in store for tomorrow.
