First Big Barrel Jack parent
Pros: Easy to Swing and ready to go right out of the box. Great balance, feels lighter than what it is. Contact hitter 10 year old - making more hits and hitting further. Looks great, performs better. Very Happy
Cons: Scuffs fairly easily, but cleans up well.
Demarini Vexxum Brandon player
Pros: I used this bat last year but different model I swung this bat and compared it withe my other one ans there is so much improvement to this years model Demarini vexxum I play high school baseball and this is the bat for me and others should think the same to
Cons: Nothing at all great bat thanks justbat
Vexxum Goat player
Pros: This is one of the best bats I have ever put in my hands it's very balanced but not as balanced as the cf7 but the vexxum has a lot more pop than than the vexxum people around the world should think the same way about this bat. I'm in high school baseball and we use marruci cat 6 but I'm the only one that uses the Demarini vexxum and has the highest batting average on the team and I'm a freshmen so. This bat was worth your money for I was very excited when I used this bat
Cons: Nothing at all one of the best bats I have ever used thanks justbats you helped me a lot
great bat...has made a big difference Victor Von Diggity parent
Pros: I have an undersized kid compared to the rest of the behemouth 13 year olds out there. He has struggled this year to make the jump from a -9 to a -5. He is tall, so the 31 length was perfect, but the 26 oz. wasn't working. Just jumping to a 25 oz. and a 30 length has made a big difference.
Cons: Nothing. looks good and cleans up well.
Great Buy! Parent/ coach other
Pros: Has really good pop, great balance in weight. My son is 5ft 75 lbs, so not short but thin framed and he swings this bat with great control. I purchased the 30/25 because his middle school makes them use a drop 3 which is 28oz so I figured this would be a great step into the -3 bats he will have to swing next school yr. The bat looks and feels pretty good, I also took some swings off it so I can give a fare judgment and I must say it is an above average bat for the asking price.
Cons: The grip is a little slick so I recommend the use of batting gloves, there is a sting on the hands if the inside pitch gets you.
Bub's Dad
Pros: A good transition bat going from a -10 to a BBCOR . Nicely balanced with some pop . My son is a smaller player but he was able to start barreling the ball up quickly so he loved it right away . You can't go wrong with the price either !
Cons:
Best in Class DE Baseball Dad parent
Pros: My son switched a few weeks ago from an end-loaded -5 bat to the more balanced -5 Vexxum. I thought it would diminish his hitting power, but that has not been the case. The Vexxum has great pop. Because it's balanced, my son is able to put the bat on the ball more accurately. The result is more line drives. He loves this bat. Overall, the Vexxum is hard to beat.
Cons: None that we've noticed so far.
Should of gotten the MAKO BaseballMomNC parent
Pros: bought for my son a 9 year old all star. He likes the unique look of it.
Cons: The vibration is terrible. My son's hand hurt after just a few pitches in the batting cage on this one. The narrow barrel and weight at the end cause the bat to dip and you have to force it not to. it's terrible on young players working on swing techique
Team Favorite Blake player
Pros: My 35+ team loves this bat. Great balance, great pop. Four of us old farts have this bat after we all spent a season borrowing our teammate's 2013 NVS. We all brought our own bats, and we all wound up using the 2013. So, when the price dropped last fall, four of us snapped one up. We have to check the serial number in the dugout to see which is ours. This bat makes us feel young again!
Cons: It seems to get better as time goes on. I swear it has more pop after 15 games, or so.
going deep proud parent parent
Pros: 13 year old son went from demarini cf6 -10 do this drop-5. hitting for power . homered and had 2 doubles with one off the fence in two games last week.
Cons: none yet
BEST BAT EVER! sean player
Pros: amazing pop, smooth to swing
Cons: none
Bat JB parent
Pros: My son just made the transition from a drop 10 to a drop 5. I had purchase a nice Easton but he wasn't satisfied with the vibration. I purchased this bat just before opening day and he loves it. He says best bat he has ever had. Thank you
Cons: The bat went on sale 2 days after I purchased the bat. No issues with the bat
Vexxum Jeff T parent
Pros: Great price for a solid bat with good pop. Appreciate the advice from the bat coach he knew what he was talking about. Fast shipping, a great experience with Just Bats.
Cons: None
I think this is a great bat Trent player
Pros: Every 14 year old should be using this bat.
Cons: None.
Excellent bat for the money Kevin player
Pros: Gave it 4 Stars for grip, simply because I prefer lizard skin, so I pulled their tape back and re-taped it.
Cons: nothing
Great upgrade from - 10. Jonah player
Pros: Good pop out the box. Hits long balls if you swing a -5.
Cons: Handle a little thick. Will regrip it but great bat.

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.
