amazing bat Paco Glz player
Pros: this bat has 13 HR in 3 games , all the team is in love wit this bat the sweet spot is big, i literaly trowing bomb in every turn at bat. im in love with this bat

One month and it pancaked Brandon player
Pros: Not much. The sweet spot was near impossible to find
Cons: The bat pancaked only three hitting sessions practicing with it
$99 waste joe player
Pros: good stuff... or not
Cons: everything. The bat has no pop, takes forever to break in, by the time the sound changed the bat had begun to dent. It isn't worth the price
Hits the ball hard.....BUT Franchise21 player
Pros: This bat has great power! When you hit the sweet spot, the ball flies. Great bat for power and place hitters alike. It says the bat is slightly end loaded, but will feel comfortable if you prefer a balanced bat. I ripped a lot of line drives and opposite field triples because of this guy.
Cons: Durability is what kills this bat for me. If I'm shelling out 100 smackers for a single wall aluminum, it better last me at least 2 full seasons. Forget using this thing at any temperature below 70 degrees as it will have more dents than a golf ball by the end of your hitting session and has the potential to completely pancake. Sweet spot is sometimes hard to find. This is definitely a single player bat, sharing with the team will greatly reduce its longevity. Anytime you see rotation markers on a bat, expect that it will have some durability concerns. Be mindful of its shortcomings and it's a powerful weapon! If you want something that's going to last many seasons or you like to do a lot of batting practice with your game bat, you may want to look elsewhere.
Waste of money Joe player
Pros: um....
Cons: Everything about this bat. It took quite a bit to break in and than it dented as soon as it opened up for me.
Dropping Bombs! Hunter player
Pros: Great single wall bat for a church league or rec league. Bat had good pop out of the wrapper!
Cons: grip is a little different but not a major issue
Great Slowpitch Single Wall Aluminum Bat for the $ David player
Pros: I had a 2014 Demarini Ultimate Weapon that I used in two leagues last year. Everyone on the team used it that could wield a 30 oz'er and we were hitting the cover off the ball. We went from a team that struggled with power numbers to a team that was averaging over 4 HR's a game (A lot for us). We unfortunately used the bat to start this year on an unseasonably cold morning. The bat dented after a player curshed a homerun, and we hit 2 more with a dented bat. So I went and purchased the 2015 model. First game 3-run walk-off to end the game in a 16 - 1 mercy rule. Well worth the $ and the bat is still not fully broken in.
Cons: No Cons, in fact the bat was delivered to my home 2 days after I placed the order with regular shipping, thanks Justbats.com!

I keep reading the comments on how the new ASA stamp means that a bat is made for use with the softer .52 COR balls. I play in an ASA league that still uses the .44 COR balls. Are there any new bats that are made for these type of balls? I really don't want to invest in a .52 COR ball ASA bat and have it break within a year. Brewzer
Is the knob part of the bat or the grip? camaro-guy
Is the bat end loaded? nat
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.
