Felipe Lopez
Pros: Best bat ever used. It has crazy pop. It feels like your'e launching the ball, not hitting it. DEMARINI has been the best for over 10 years. I have a 2006, 2007, and a 2009 demarini voodoo. All great bats with nice pop.

Cons: takes some getting used to weight wise but it is still a great bat.
Anonymous
Pros: We purchased this bat for our 13U traveling baseball team. They all love this bat. We previously purchased a different bat, which had good reviews, but the boys did not like the bat and we could not get them to use it. We set that bat back and got the CF4. This is a great bat that has a lot of pop and great balance. I would recommend this bat to anyone..
Cons: none so far...

MP WARRIOR

Cons:
RJ
Pros: This bat is great. I just got the 31/23 version of it yesterday. In my first practice I hit a ball a little over 300 ft. I just came out of Little League and I'm only 5 foot 4 120 pounds. This bat isn't even broken in yet and it hits shots. I can't wait to see what it hits like when it's fully broken in.
Cons: Takes a little longer time than most bats to be broken in, but once broken, it's awesome
best bat, better than combat b2
Pros: Amazing bat, has pop right out of the wrapper,my son hit 2 bombs that night with that bat
Cons: none
Line Drive Hitter
Pros: I wont say its the best bat on the market because i havent tried all the bats on the market but i will say,its a VERY good bat,it kills the ball
Cons: If you hit it on the inside of the bat it doesnt go very far but thats what the BIG BIG barrel is for
Anonymous
Pros: Nice bat, balls gunna go a long way if you hit it on the sweet spot
Cons: if not hit right on the sweet spot it's going to sting and the ball will travel much less
HRHitter
Pros: Hits Line Drives every time, great pop
Cons: 5 Days after i got it i found out that we couldnt use it in junior league, instead we had to use a minus 3, so make sure that you can use a -8 before u buy it.
1GiantPhan
Pros: OMG..This is AWESOME. Just got it this afternoon and used it in practice. Ball was hitting the fence for a first time use. My son is 11 y/o and with more practice and swings, i know that the ball will be over the fence quite a few times this season. Everyone including the coach tried it and it just jumped off like flies when you "shoo" them away. AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME. And yes i bought it here.
Cons: Having to share it with the team is going to be the biggest Cons...
NateDog
Pros: great bat! ton of pop huge sweet spot worth the money love the hub cap!!!
Cons: none!
Anonymous
Pros: Amazing bat I hit 9 more homeruns with it then the bat I hadf before.

D BO 48
Pros: Large sweet spot! Good pop off the bat!
Cons:
The Baseball Guy 762
Pros: This bat is a sick!! When you hit the ball right on the barrel, it goes flying!!!! There is no shock on the barrel at all when you hit it there. This is the best bat I have ever used in my life!!!!
Cons: It is pretty expensive. It is definetly worth the price. If you hit the ball on the silver and white part above the handle, you hit a weak grounder. That is what the big barrel is there for!!!!
ud baseball #10
Pros: Amazing Pop Great Power Transfer Worth every penny
Cons: Little heavy for those who are a bit smaller but if you can get it around it is rewarding Price is a little high
Anonymous
Pros: Tons of pop, large sweetspot, a very good bat
Cons: scrathed easily, and i'm sorry "mp warrior" but i like the 2009 CF3 much better
RealBatReviews
Pros: The cf4st has incredible pop, a comfortable grip, and an even weight feel. the power is evened throughout the bat and again LEGIT POP. i love this bat and have been using it for a full year now.
Cons: none at ALL.
17Tigersfan
Pros: Bat is well balanced,seems lighter than actual weight. Ball comes off bat very nice with a good sound.
Cons: The USSSA finger print was put on about 3 inches higher than in photo and was partially removed from a ball hitting that area. Placed clear shipping tape over for protection since these fingerprints have to be on bats for 2012 season.
COKid
Pros: Bat came on time. Looks good and has the USSSA stamp so good for the 2012 season. It's going to be a Christmas present so can't say much yet about how it works. Will be glad to post again after we start hitting with it.
Cons: None Yet.....
Tball

Cons: None
A-ron
Pros: 2nd CF4 for son (outgrew first). He loves the feel,balance and tranfer of power. Recommend bat pack! You get the Rival which is great in cold and cages - durable! Save $$$
Cons: CF4 - Watch outdoor temps as with all compos bats. Rival - take on handle it will let you know!
Hillster
Pros: Bat is hot straight from the wrapper. My son is hitting the ball harder than ever now. I expect his home run count to double this year. This particular bat has the new USSSA label on it. We have owned every make and model that Demarini has made within that last 5 years, and this bat is the best one they have made! The -8 drop feels lighter than it is, and this bat is a good one for transitioning to the eventual -3 BBCOR that all players will have to go to in High School and USSSA at older levels.
Cons: Scratches and chips easily, but does not effect performance.
cmc
Pros: We've had the bat for about 6 weeks, and it has performed well. Tons of pop on it and a huge sweet spot.
Cons: None.
big fish
Pros: this bat is the best bat ever i hit 300 foot home run.
Cons: none
Travel ball Dad
Pros: My 13 yr old son needed travel ball bat. This bat is illegal for junior little league this year. He used Omen last year and would compare this bat to it.
Cons: Nothing, if you already know where its legal
Baseballer
Pros: great bat
Cons: purchased to have the USSSA stamp and after one use it is smeared almost completely off.
Tatergrip
Pros: My son had to get a new USSSA approved bat and this was a GREAT choice. He loves the pop and feel. Well balanced. Horrible bat grip so after he put on his TaterGrip it is even better!
Cons: Can't find any.
BIG 4
Pros: Great pop, my 11 YO loves this bat. He upsized from a CF4 -11 from LL and still maintains great bat speed. Can't beat it for the price!
Cons: None
big fish
Pros: this bat is the best ever i have used the cf5 but this one is the best 18 home runs last year and this year 6. it is the best.
Cons: none
CRH
Pros: 12 yr old travel baseball player used it last weekend during a tournament and loved it! Hit with a CF3 2 yrs ago and has had a Combat B2 for the last year. Got some great hits - the other coaches had it checked twice for the USSSA stamp - probably because it is last yr.'s bat. Loved getting it on sale.
Cons:
aidan
Pros: i just revived this bat had a batting practice swings like a dream and had solid liners every swing
Cons: dont want 2 share it mine
dude in tx
Pros: All I can say is KA-POW!
Cons: n/a
ok baseball
Pros: Excellent feel and flared knob is a bonus. Very balanced and pop right out of the wrapper. sitting at 200+ cage swings and still looks great.
Cons: NONE
Royals Fan
Pros: At list price this might be one of the best bets around, at the discounted price of $219 it is a steal. I was pretty taken back at how hot this bat is, I mean it is laser hot.! Don't worry about the extra ounces, the bat is very balanced and feels lighter than it is. No sting was a pleasant surprise also.
Cons: Other teams might be using the bat.
diego
Pros: this is a good barrel bat little heavy but good
Cons: if kids want to use it just say I saved up to get this bat
#10
Pros: it has a lot of pop the grip is sticky so you can hold on to it better
Cons: it dose not do well when you hit it of the end and if you hit itto close to the handle it will hurt your hands
Thomas S.
Pros: Very nice balance and a above average sweet spot. Great pop.
Cons: USSSA 1.15 stamp wears off very easily. Bat was disqualified from last tournament because the umpires could not read the stamp. Returned to DeMarini to be restamped. Hopefully this stamp will last. DeMarini should have known the painted stamp on the barrel would wear off quickly so I'm downgrading 1 star.
blaker
Pros: great bat has tons of pop and even better i got it for sale
Cons:
GMONEY
Pros: This is the best bat ever... I am the a okay hitter on my team but when i used this i could kill the ball i could hit it to the over the out fielders like nothing.

Pros: My son had broken his CF3 after hitting his 3rd homerun of the year. Got the CF4 and he got his 4th homerun two games later.
Cons:
RC
Pros: Nice weight balance and a lot of pop.
Cons: The USSSA 1.15 sticker rubbed off. DeMarini will fix but you have to send them the bat. Cost me $44 to send the bat back. Hopefully will only miss one weekend but extremely inconvenient. Build the cost of shipping the bat back to the manufacturer into your comparison costs.
Sirhc
Pros: I purchased this bat for my 13 year old who is playing on a club team and so far we don't have any performance issues with the bat. My son is lead-off and the bat has not impacted his success in this role.
Cons: During the first two weeks of owning the bat, the USSSA stamp made contact with a ball and it smugged off, so we have to send it back for a new stamp. I spoke to a DeMarini rep and she stated they new they had this problem with the bat. The bat has a lot of graphics and they are not holding up well.
chinese ball playa
Pros: good
Cons: nutin
WillyT
Pros: This is the best bat on the market. You can save about $100 if you buy this instead of the cf5. This bat is also much better than the cf5. It has great pop. the ball launches off the bat. It lasts for a long time until it loses it "Pop" or cracks. Do not use in weather under 60 degrees. my friend did and it cracked. I hit 6 HRs with this bat and did better than ever before. If your looking for a good and cheap ( for full composite) bat look no further!!
Cons: NONE EVER!!

bobby j
Pros: Nice sweetspot. Ball sounds great coming off bat with, my son has hit several homeruns with this bat.
Cons: Will not last long. I missed warranty by two months. Barrell has cracked and has lost it's pop. Bought this bat last April at beginning of rec ball which was done by end of may, and got to use it for 5 weeks this season. Paid 300 plus for a total of 14 weeks of actual use. Would not recommend this bat. This is the second demarini I have owned with same outcome. Way overpriced for what you get

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.
