Yankeefan75
Pros: Awesome pop and nice balance.
Cons: Bat should be turned after each hit to limit denting.
G6
Pros: The bat is light weight easy to swing, and it has a really big barrel so there is more room to hit the ball. Also the barrel over the handle helps because it gives you more room not to hurt yourself when you get jammed.
Cons:

Cons: why would there be any?
NB29
Pros: My son loves this bat; he is 10 but very tall and it fits perfect. Great pop.
Cons: After a single one day batting camp (no machines, human pitch) - the BPF 1.15 stamp (required for play in 2012) is 3/4 gone, just wiped off? In other words - I have no idea if we'll be able to use it when season starts. Warranty does not say it covers paint. Need to call the company next week and see whats up. HASSLE. Seems dumb to give 3 stars because of that but - that was one of main reasons we bought this bat as opposed to something else - it has (had?) a required 2012 stamp.
ksp
Pros:
Cons: We ordered the bat as an xmas present. During the first use, a ball hit the USSSA logo. It smeared off because the logo was painted on the barrel of the bat! Demarini added the label after the bats were sealed so they are just painted on. I am having an argument with Demarini about replacing. DON'T BUY THIS BAT IF YOU NEED THE USSSA LOGO.. it will come off and then you won't be able to use it. This is a problem the company is aware of but puts the bat out anyway knowing that it will smear. Turned me off to Demarini. I see there are other comments out here saying the same thing!

hrking

Anonymous
Pros: Great bat but the USSSA stamp has come off after only two batting practices (very common and they are aware of the defect). Demarini will etch the bat, but you need to cover the cost for shipping their defective bat to them to correct the problem.
Cons:
Anonymous
Pros: awsome bat first home run more to come
Cons:
DJ
Pros: Probably a good bat if it wasn't damaged?
Cons: From the very first use, the bat has been stinging my son's hands. I assume it is defective since no one else has complained as far as I know
Warrior 9
Pros: Great feel and balance with a giant sweet spot. Rails system really takes the sting out of "off" hits, especially during early season cooler weather games.
Cons: None that I have found.
A Dad
Pros: Updating my last post. I called DeMarini about the USSSA stamp rubbing off. They said it was their fault and have been re-stamping bats. I had to pay the postage to send it to DeMarini and got it back re-stamped in 8 days. Hopefully the process they used this time will work. At least now I have paperwork supporting that this bat IS USSSA compliant should I have to show it to a tournament official or ump.
Cons:
Cinco
Pros: Ok bat decent pop if hit right not demarinis super bat but an ok buy
Cons: USSSA stamp comes off easy
kodey-man
Pros: a friend told me about justbat.com,so i went to the website & read the reviews on the DeMarini Vendetta C6:DXVCR. the reviews were impressive. so i bought the bat for my 11 year old son. first time i have ordered a bat on line, & recieved it in 2 days. right out of the box I PUT A clear piece of tape over the USSSA logo that everyone was complaning about rubbing off. my son had try outs this past weekend & 3 out of 6 balls that were pitched to him went over the fence (home runs)& another being a fast hard line drive. he has never hit a home run before not even in a game. his confidence level has risin 100%.the coaches were looking at the bat and even taking pitchures of it. he is now know as the boy that hit three home runs during try outs. thank you DeMarini, I highly recomend this bat.I will keep everyone posted during the season @ threw allstars. by the way, the bat we chose was 31" 21 oz.
Cons:
jakes
Pros: feels lighter then 20oz and has great pop.
Cons: usssa stamp smeared after first time hitting with it. Can't even make it out on what the stamp says
MrMeloe
Pros: Purchased my first Demarini product which was the Demarini Vendetta 31/21. the Bat has a lot of POP & sounds great. Good bye Louisville slugger Hello Demarini
Cons: Everybody wants to use it
Coach
Pros: The barrel travels a long way down the bat increasing the sweet spot
Cons: The bat hits as if it's "dead". Break in followed carefully but does not compare to the alloy bats
sticker problem
Pros: Good bat.
Cons: THE USSSA STICKER COMES OFF AND YOU HAVE TO PAY TO SHIP THE BAT BACK FOR THE STICKER. Do not buy if you need the sticker.
JTF28
Pros: this bat is great!! It has excellent pop and is easy to hit with. I would suggest to get this bat if you are a big 3,4,5 hitter.
Cons: the usssa stamp is on the barrel and will smudge if you hit it.
USSSA Stamp
Pros: good pop
Cons: The USSSA stamp rubs off from normal use. Which makes the bat useless
bat boy
Pros: great pop and the rails are much better than the 2010 Vendetta.
Cons: This bat is very low quality. I used it in babe ruth and my first hit with the bat the paint started to chip. the second hit with this bat it snapped. i do not reccomend this bat to anybody in high leagues with faster pitchers.
Big R
Pros: My son plays 10 yr old Pony and after watching him hit two homers each clearing the 200 ft fence, rolling and bouncing off the 320 ft fence this weekend, I would say this bat has to be the best value of any bat on the market.
Cons:
KC cougars#9
Pros: great pop!!! the grip is amazing!!
Cons: none at all.
Shortstop swag
Pros: This bat is very good. I would suggest this bat to anyone. I almost hit 2 homeruns last weekend with it
Cons:
BC19Pirates
Pros: Love the rails. Swings super light with great pop. Don't notice a huge difference between this bat and a 2 3/4 barrel bat. I put 5 or 6 coats of clear nail polish over the stamp right out of the box and the stamp has held up great. Be careful with first coat of nail polish or it could smear the stamp, once its dry it works great for the additional coats...
Cons:
tmac

sus22
Pros: amazing pop
Cons: I was up to bat when the ball jammed me and since the usssa stamp is a temperary one it got smudged off. Now i cant use it any more
batboy33
Pros: Excellent bat. I just got my 11 year old this bat. It has great pop, he already hit a homer. Lots of deep outfield hits. Do recommend.
Cons: Paint does smear a little. Just so the usssa stamp doesn't get smeared we put clear shipping tape over it. No other cons other than friends all want to use it.
DHawks
Pros: Like most I read, my son easily adapted from a 30/17 2 1/4 barrel Voo Doo, to this 2 5/8 barrel 30/20 Vendetta! He said the bats felt the same weight. The pop was extreme, easily adding 20 feet to his shots. Diamond Nation tournament, he ripped a triple down the left field line that he usually wouldn't hit as far!
Cons: Their is no downside to this bat!
dback23
Pros: great balance , nice and light .son hit a homer first weekend in use .

SelectBlue
Pros: Nice pop, very balanced, son is hitting great with it.10 year old travel player.
Cons: Just put peice of clear tape over USSSA stamp worked great.
gman
Pros: This is the 3rd Vendetta C6 that my son has had, and he plays Select AAA baseball. I originally got him the bat two seasons ago. Thanks to the new bat rules, it was not going to be legal for USSSA sanctioned tournaments so I had to get him a new bat for the following year with the stamp. Thank goodness Justbats had them in stock with the stamp. This is a great bat! Once the bat got broken in, the ball just flies off this bat even without swinging too hard. My son played 41 games this year and hit around .470 in 11u AAA Select baseball. He led his team in triples and doubles this season. I ended up recommending this bat to 3 other parents in our town, and their kids love it. My son is going to move to -8 in two seasons so I can wean him down to a -3 by the time he gets to High School. That is why I already got this bat for him next season. I purchased him a 31/21 for next season. I wish DeMarini made this bat in all - levels. Great bat!
Cons: It took a quite a bit of BP to get the bat broken in, but it was worth the extra time. Once broken in, it is a hitting machine.

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.
