Description
Everything about this bat is tailored specifically for the biggest and baddest hitters on the planet. The Voodoo RAW's massive barrel is forged from DeMarini's most responsive alloy yet - X12. Not only does this innovative material create a huge, forgiving sweet spot, but it creates the slightly end loaded swing weight that gives the Voodoo RAW its famous baseball-crushing power potential. That extra mass is strategically added into the hitting zone so that players can attack pitches with the most power possible. The newest addition to the Voodoo's frame this year would be the D-Fusion 2.0 technology. An extra-stiff flex is created at the joint connecting this hybrid's alloy barrel to its composite handle. End loaded swing weight and stiff flex = the exact recipe you need for the biggest sky-scraping moonshots. With the new Voodoo RAW, simply throw your hands, and watch it fly.
The DeMarini Voodoo RAW Senior League Baseball Bat: WTDXVDZ features a 2 3/4" barrel diameter, -10 length to weight ratio, the USSSA BPF 1.15 Certification, and is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty.

Love the new DeMarini Chop parent
Pros: My son loves the new bat. Plenty of pop and well balanced.
Cons: None
2 3/4 raw end loaded 30" Batting coach coach
Pros: 4-8" 85lb 9 year old, 4th in batting line up travel ball player. I could boast home runs and distance but that is only based on the player ability. Same feel and performance as last years overlord. Bright, high pitched anvil and hammer sound when ball is squared up on barrel. (Line drive) No vibration. End load swing mechanics will prosper. Light enough to get on timing with 60mph pitching. Good transition bat to wood. Not a team bat. Less expensive than last years. Entire bat is energized to create good hits from miss hits. Best bat performance Manufacture to date.
Cons: Not a team bat. Not a fan of the graphics. CF series is more user friendly to 90% of the players on the team at this age.
Power on Contact Tad Thompson parent
Pros: The slight end load truly makes a difference in this bat. My son in 9 years old and hit a triple in the gap his first time using this bat in a game. A bat cannot compensate for poor hitting, but a good bat can enhance a proper swing. This bat will give a good hitter the edge and extra distance he needs.
Cons: None at this time.
Even Better than Expected Cristobalite coach
Pros: Was looking to replace son's Easton XL3, 2-3/4" barrel bat but Easton does not make it in 29". After a lot of research, I ordered this bat and absolutely love it. Love it even more than the XL3 which I didn't think was possible. You can definitely feel that the bat is end loaded so if that's your thing then this is the bat for you. It feels "strong" in your hands and "natural" to swing. This is his favorite bat out of: Easton XL3 2-3/4" -9, Easton S3 2-3/4" -10, Rawlings Velo 2-5/8" -10, Combat Portent 2-3/4 -10, Easton XL1 2-1/4" and Easton S2 2-1/4".
Cons: Not a big fan of the colors.
Poppa Baseball Joe Shmoe coach
Pros: Balanced, Zero to no Vibration, Giant sweet spot, Great sound and a Phenomenal replacement to the Voodoo Overlord.
Cons: You really need to break this bat in, right after you get it hit the nets or the field for some BP.
The Coach and Dad JWalker parent
Pros: Great balance and this bat carried on all the great traits from the Voodoo Overlord, our Super League team continues to have top of the league batting and we all use the Demarini Aluminum line.
Cons: Not cosmetically appealing pretty basic, but it doesnt need to be pretty "Goin Yard"!!!!
Great Bat boy player
Pros: There is a huge swwet spot and has great pop! next bat I get I plan on getting a voodo
Cons: none
major dent within 1 week eric h parent
Pros: looks good
Cons: dented within 1 week, before he even had a tournament at bat. we'll see if the replacement lasts any longer.
Good choice if player is strong enough Hawks Player Dad parent
Pros: My son has loves his new 31" bat. We have played in some colder weather at the start of the season and vibration issues are at a minimum. We have been pleased with the pop off the bat and he has hit some ropes. When barrel squares to ball you will be pleased with the results. No issue with durability.
Cons: This is his first time hitting with an end loaded bat and it does seem to be a bit heavier than a more balanced bat of same size. It was a bit of an adjustment and, at first his bat speed was a tad slower. As the year has gone on the adjustment has been made and the power and bat speed has improved significantly. My son is of average height( 5' 2" )and weight (100 lbs) as a 12 yr old, but probably a little stronger than average. I would question whether an end loaded bat is the best option for a player who is at least not above average in strength if not size. It did take an adjustment period, but he has taken off with it now.
Baller Bat Rays Fan player
Pros: Great pop and I love that it is top-heavy.
Cons: Nothin
Good Bat L Polk coach
Pros: This bat has good pop. I hesitated about buying my 10 year old this bat as I wasn't sure that he should use a big barrel bat at that age. He loves the bat and his swing hasn't been affected by the different balance of the big barrel. I have no regrets with this purchase.
Cons: None
Great Bat Blaise player
Pros: Amazing pop
Cons: Sometimes stings when you hit the ball

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.
