Pros: Pop is just like the CF8,the bat feels great when making contact.I like the different look of it this year.It feels stronger when making contact.
Cons: nothing
Pros: Balanced, easy to swing lots pop, little vibration large sweet spot
Cons: none
Pros: This bat easily adds 50 feet to your hits. Watched batter after batter use this bat and every time the ball was crushed. A kid who usually hits about 215 went about 260 twice in a game, other players that usually hit it in the gap sent it about 200+ feet.
Cons: None
Pros: Excellent new addition to Demarini line. Great balance and tremendous pop. The sound it makes is also nice.
Cons: Price is high but similar to other high end bats.
Pros: Close to sticker weight. Balanced feel for a -5. Tremendous pop. We have had the Zen -10 (both models) and this bat is better than those ... lets see if it breaks as quickly and the 2 3/4s
Cons: Color for the -10 2 5/8, -8 and -5 are the same. WIsh there was a way to tell them a part.
Pros: Adds so many feet to your swing way better than the CF8
Cons: None
Pros: Smooth swinging bat with a rich feel at contact. Just picked up one for my jr high team and saw an immediate difference during first batting practice. Tweener kids can get it around and ball simply jumps off this bat. They love it and I love seeing the confidence it inspires in them.
Cons: none
Pros: This is the best bat ever made. Crazy pop, great feel when you swing, little to no vibration, and has crazy durability. Totally worth the price over a mako, combat, or Louisville. Spend the money on this bat and you will no doubt get rewarded.
Cons: how could there be a con?!
Pros: Good response Weight distributed well Ball comes off quickly
Cons: None so far.
Pros: a lot of spot
Cons: Price is really hight for a kids bat
Pros: First there is no magic in this bat. If your kid is barely clearing the infield he's not gonna start hitting home runs just because you buy this bat. My son probably had 5000 practice swings last year. He was hitting the occasional HR (2 in all of Rec and fall travel last year) with a 2015 Easton 31/23 XL1. He plays in 11u. He has grown 4 inches and gained about 15 lbs over the last year. We decided to move to a drop 5 bat to help him get ready for a -3. The bat is actually a drop 4 because it is 32" and 28oz. Both my son and me think the Swing weight of the bat feels the same as the XL1. We use a Zepp and there was no drop off in his hand speed or bat speed at contact. This past weekend at a travel tournament he hit 5 HR in 4 game. Yes the bat made the difference but it's 5 ounces of extra mass at the same bat speed that accounts for the extra distance.
Cons: Keeping all the other kids hands off it.
Pros: sounds very well on contact my son loves the bat
Cons: paint is coming off bat that does not have any effect on the bat but looks very bad need to design it better paint should stay on back if you pay that kind of money for the back
Pros: A lot of pop
Cons: The bat was broked in one month
Pros: our team used this bat in a tourney in cooperstown, and i was so amazed i had to pick it up myself. i hit really well with it, and it has the most pop out of any bat ive used. i had been using a -10 mako big barrel, and the weight transition was very easy, because of the balanced feel that makes it seem so light. absolutely crushes balls, and has a huge sweet spot. sounds sick too
Cons: the grip was trash, it fell off in about a week of use, but retaped it with lizard skin and now its great
Pros: What a bat my son just loves it the ball just jumps off this bat
Cons: None so far
Pros: Outstanding pop
Cons: Cracked in the first month
Pros: Son has been using Demarini bats for years. If you square up the ball wit this bat you definitely will notice the pop this bat has. The 33 inch bat swings very well for a drop 5.
Cons: Only thing we noticed is paint on composite barrel is coming off pretty quickly after bat purchased.
Pros: None
Cons: Broke in 2 at bats
Pros: Made for dropping bombs. Ball explodes off of the barrel. We have a team of big hitters and with this bat we dominated the Home Run Derby in the 11U World Series. Most any team had was 3, we had 17. If you find one, don't let it get away!!!
Cons: Too heavy for smaller kids facing faster pitching.

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.
