Just enough End Load, but still pretty Balanced Seth Pittman player
Pros: This bat has a little extra load up top, but is by no means a super heavy end loaded bat. It is perfect. When I say perfect I mean, unlike most super high end composites, it doesn't feel weightless. It has a little bit of extra meat on the bone and that extra meat helps me drive through the ball unlike any other bat i have ever swung. Of course I could swing an alloy that is naturally heavier up top, but then I wouldn't get the consistent barrel you find with a composite bat. In combo with the composite handle and connection piece this product is the best BBCOR I have swung so far. I have tried Velo, Mako, Cat6 (that bat is terrible and way too heavy) and many others and I have finally found the product that fits my style of swing best. Most kids will probably like the CF Zen as it is super balanced, but for the 3,4,5 spot hitters...this is your stick.
Cons: I guess the only con is that it cost $450 but my parents bought the bat for me so it's not an issue I have to personally deal with. Just a few extra days cutting lawns earned me the best bat on the market.
great bat! greg player
Pros: i just recieved this bat and did some bp. without it even being brokenin i was crushing the ball. handle is very stiff feels good. the endload could be a little more but better than the mako xl. great bat from what i can tell
Cons: the price but definitely worth it if you can purchase it.
Great feel and sound Alex S player
Pros: I love the way the ball sounds coming off this bat. I've used a DeMarini CF7 this last year. This bat has a better grip, the end load make if "feel" lighter. This bat has a lot more pop, If you get jammed off the handle, there's no sting with this bat. Noticeable improvement from the CF7. Love the end loading.
Cons: If it was any better it would be illegal.
hot bat. hutch959 parent
Pros: great looking bat. at first, the grip feels really small in your hands but once you we hit some with it, we really liked it. balls come off this bat really well with a good sound. we have a Cf8 also, and this bat is the exact same balance as the 2016 Cf8. We cant really tell if the ball comes off the bat better then the Cf8, but it does sound different. So im assuming the composite structure is different. everytime my son or some other player gets a big hit with it... me and coaches always look at each other and say "thats a hot bat".
Cons: kinda feels weird to me.
Going to need to break in? Coach Ted coach
Pros: Feels good with the tapered handle. No vibration.
Cons: No pop out of wrapper. hitting with my sons nee bat I can immediately tell that this bat needs a break in period. had 2 bats out of the wrapper, the Demarini Zen Balanced Composite and another brand Aluminum. hit about 40 balls with each and the pop just wasnt there with the Demarini as much as the other bat.
Amazing Tyler player
Pros: Everything on this Bat is amazing. So Everything about it is a Pro
Cons: no Cons 0
After thousands of swings baseball dad parent
Pros: Bought this bat at 32/29 for my son who was going into his junior year. He had his best year hitting at both the HS and travel ball level. A lot of it was the hard work he put in, but this bat helped too. Easy to swing despite the slight endload and only a little vibration. He's not a big kid at all, but he got multiple XBH's and a few dingers. The best part is the bat still has the pop and it looks like it'll have plenty left going into the season. Much better than the Rawlings Velo.
Cons: Price obviously, but it's very durable (Demarini's seem to have this consistently over Easton) and looks like it's got much more than a season in it, even with all those practice and game swings.
The insane is insane !! Vinny Baseball parent
Pros: The end load is perfect for power hitters. This bat comes highly recomended!
Cons: None
Best Bat JC12 player
Pros: Best composite bat there is. Amazing pop and pretty balanced for an enloaded bat.
Cons: None

Trying to figure out what is ideal for my son. He will be playing varsity ball as a sophomore this next season and has a good amount of pop. He has a tendancy to hit on top of the ball and his bat speed is a little slow. He swings a 33/30 now at 6'2" 190lbs. I am thinking having him use a 32/29. What is your opinion? Just a dad
My 8th grader wanted to go BBCOR to prep for high school, and decided this 2017 Insane was the option. Straight out of the wrapper we took this bat to the cages tonight, and it sounded awful, I mean truly awful. "Tinny" and high pitched, like the cheap alloy bats from tee ball /coach pitch days. Did we get a lemon or just needs breaking in? For reference my ear is adjusted to all the Easton's we have been using - XL1s, Makos, other drop 5s Easton. Tough to gauge pop in the cage, but I saw nothing impressive. Panicking, with a tourney this weekend, and for me what was a very expensive investment. Appreciate your input. rooster
My son is a freshman and is 6'2" 155 pounds. He is an advanced player and power hitter, but also can hit for average. He used a drop 5 last year and it was 33". Now he has to use BBCOR drop 3. Not sure if I go to 34" knowing he will grow and get stronger or stick with 33 for bat speed. Also, do I go with the end loaded or balanced. Bats are expensive so I don't want to make a mistake. Bill C.
I am a 5'5 freshman and 125. Should I be swinging the 32"? I do just fine with Combat Maxum's but I am not sure because of the end load. tony

My son has been using a Demarini Voodoo Raw the last two years and need a new bat. That model has been discontinued so what DeMarini bat performs the closest to the Voodoo Raw? rvr1122
I'm used to swinging a VELO. I feel it's too small for me. I was going to get a 33" bat. However, since this bat is end-loaded, would it be better to stay with a 32" or still move up to 33"? DylGlz
What's better, end loaded or balanced? juliog
My son is 5'3" and weighs around 140 lbs. He is a power hitter in the 3-4 slot and has been using the Easton Mako XL -5 for the past two seasons. Would a 32" be too much handle for him? He is a strong kid with very good bat speed. SB

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.
