Pros: nice put together bat. i bought both vexxum and voodoo . vexxum 29 17 and voodoo 29 16 . both bats are very nice. i let my 10 son swing them both hes a contact hitter with some power. i wanted to try vexxum because it was balanced but it felt very heavy compared to voodoo. voodoo is very light with tons of pop pay the exta 50 dollars. the ping off this bat will ring forever.
Cons: heavy but balanced. u feel weight through the whole bat. like a 2x4

weaver2400 mike weaver parent
Pros: i bought two of these bats for my 9 and 10 yr olds. my ten year old never hit one over the fence. he got this bat 2 weeks ago and he got five homeruns in six scrimmages. My nine year old got moved up in the order too second batter. the balls just fly off this bat. worth double the price. and I have paid over $300 a bat before. this bat is better and awsome. love the graphics to
Cons: no cons yet. like all bats if you hit off the handle it stings. but that is expected.
Great bat at a great price. Nathaniel parent
Pros: Excellent feel, no vibration. The first time my son used it was in a game, both at bats hit line drives into the outfield. He was very surprised that there was not any vibration. He loves this bat.
Cons: Have not found any yet.

Great bat Aaron Steinfeldt player
Pros: Lots of pop, great feel, fast through the zone, big sweet spot, good bat overall
Cons: Nothing but little to small barrel
End Heavy jRase parent
Pros: Low vibration
Cons: This bat is way too end-heavy. My son used it for a few games and his bat speed went down. I, and several other dads and coaches held this bat by its knob-end, while holding another bat of the same length and weight (31" - 19 oz) by its knob-end in our other hand to compare the two, and the DeMarini felt much heavier. My son started using another bat of the same weight and length, got his bat speed (and therefore swing mechanics) back up and started hitting again.
Nice bat Bob dylan coach
Pros: Pop is good good weight
Cons: None

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.
