Pros: Vibration is minimal. For the smaller player.
Cons: Pop is just average, very light, and not end loaded at all. Need to produce own bat speed for some pop on the ball.
Pros: Bat is smoking hot. Ball sounds great and jumps off this bat. I need to purchase an "L" screen to protect myself from the come backers my just turned 7 year old hits off this bat. I generally stand 35-45 feet and still I don't feel safe. Light end load still allows strong kids with above average bat speeds to generate all the power they will need. Have used with instructors 3 times and live outdoor pitching with me 3 times. When he connects, it is either a 150-170 foot bomb or a liner that most 7-8 year olds will run from. can't wait to get the spring season started.
Cons: I hope that other parents in my son's league don't read this. Keep buying the Mako's, and leave the Voo Doo advantage to my son's team.
Pros: swag baseball bats
Cons: buy this bat
Pros: The ball just jumps off the big barrel version of this bat super light and is great for all ages
Cons: It is 2 piece bat and that mean it is more likely to break
Pros: This is the best bat I have ever played with. It has an awesome design and just bombs the ball. Every time I make contact the ball goes flying and there is completely no sting. I was more of an Easton guy until I tried this. DeMarini all the way.
Cons: They shouldn't even have a cons section for this bat. Anyway no cons at all.
Pros: My 7 year old son went to this after trying the 2014 Mako, XL1 and S1 from Easton. All of those are great bats but because they are composite they are on the heavier side. Even though they are marked a 28/17 the bat still weighed more. Usually an ounce or two over sticker. I know this because I put the bat on a scale to see. I went and bought this Voodoo Overlord for my son hoping the -13 would give him more bat speed. Well it sure did!!!! The bat also weighs what it is labeled.... I got the 28-15 and it weighs just a hair over 15oz. The bat does have a slight endload which does help with driving the ball. Its not extremely noticeable but enough to when you drop the head on the ball it shoots a nice line drive. My son is 7 years old and on the smaller side... 56lbs. He had no problem driving the ball into the gaps or hitting hard grounders. He even was able to hit a few 170-190 foot shots that might have one hopped our little league fence.
Cons: None yet
Pros: amazing stuff like hitting love
Cons: everybody wants to use it
Pros: My son is seven years old. He has never played organized baseball. I bought this bat after reading reviews and speaking to customer service specialist from Just Bats. He played his first game last Saturday. He went 4-4 at the plate. The ball seems to jump off this bat. He had only had the bat three days before his game. Can't wait to see what this bat and the remainder of the season brings!
Cons: None
Pros: great bat.great pop.no sting.deffinitly better than my old old tpx attack.
Cons: after i used it one day the paint gotreally scratched up
Pros: this is more powerful than the cf5.the graphics are sick and i just luv this bat.best dimarini ever made.great pop.no sting.i luv the feel of this bat.the duribilaty is decent.
Cons: nothin bad about this bat at all yet.
Pros: Fast, Some good pop. Slightly smaller barrel is good for the more experienced hitter.
Cons: Just not the same pop as 2 piece composites made by Demarini or Easton.
Pros: great pop I sometimes use it when I do its a good hit but I prefer the xl3 or the mako
Cons: it stings when you hit the ball
Pros: Very light so you can get the bat around quicker you also don't have to swing as hard as you can and it still has tons of pop
Cons: There are little chips in the bat but very small
Pros: everything
Cons: notta
Pros: nice balance has good pop easy to swing you can let the pitch ride in and still get a good swing
Cons: the only thing is my son has a x-3 Easton they r close but the Easton has a little more of a sweet spot
Pros: it has no vibration
Cons: little pop right now
Pros: I think its the best Little League Baseball Bat Of 2014 its the best bat I ever had
Cons: The paint chips pretty easily but I took a gold marker and colored it back in
Pros: Good Pop right out of the box No vibration
Cons: None yet
Pros: OK my son is ten and plays 10U travel. He is slight built, 56 inches tall and weighs 65 pounds. He looks like he could barely hit the ball out of the infield when bigger kids are throwing in excess of 50 mph. He is a contact hitter and does get base hits mainly singles and doubles only because he is fast. He was using an Easton S2. He used it for two months and it seemed a little light and the pop just wasn't there. He does use the CF5 when tourneys allow big barrel but half of them don't, so I wanted him to have some pop going forward. I purchased this bat on a Thursday. We threw some BP maybe fifty pitches. That Saturday he has two games. He absolutely crushes a ball to the fence on his first AB vs. their best pitcher. The second AB laces a double down RF line. There is NO way this happens with the S2. We played four games that weekend he had 2 more doubles and one single went 5-8 with a bunch of walks, used a 30/17
Cons: Just a slight feel of an end load. So you got to have bat speed or drop down one inch. Of course all his buddies now want to use his bat. How do you say NO?
Pros: great pop it helped me drive the ball I had an Easton Mako it got me some hits but Demarini is much beter I've even got homeruns with it
Cons: are you kidding me no
Pros: This bat has better performance than any bat I have ever used. This is ten times better than any other bat including the mako and xl3. P.s. Very comfortable grip and feel
Cons: Nothing bad about his bat
Pros: The pop is unreal and when u hit the ball u don't feel any vibration by best 2 1/4 bat I ever used
Cons: None
Pros: a good feeling bat
Cons: i had the 2013 voodoo it had amazing pop i got the new one very bad pop i want to sell it now
Pros: the grip feels good
Cons: almost no pop
Pros: This bat is so easy to break in and has a huge sweet spot on it. Plus it can be used in all weather rain or Sun.
Cons:
Pros: Great pop and almost no sting in the handle. Super light and can withstand any weather
Cons: Non
Pros: It is the best bat i have ever used and i have played with mako torq s1 and xl 1 has a ton of speed and great pop plus the composite handle and two piece thechnology takes away all vibration
Cons: I have no cons at all
Pros: My nephew is 11 and has the mako and two cf5's. He loves his cf5's and was hitting balls to the fence but couldn't get them over. He picked up this bat over the weekend and wow. His second up at bat crushed it deep center way out the park. First homer. He said he felt no sting. The ball came off the bat so fast. Every kid wants to use it now. Definitely for power hitter. Best aluminum bat you can buy.
Cons: NONE
Pros: NONE!
Cons: I JUST CANT HIT WITH THIS BAT PROBABLY BECAUSE IM AWFUL AT BASEBALL THOUGH BUT I BLAME IT ON THE BAT
Pros: Great pop, Great bat speed, can be used in al weather, better than any other bat out there including mako and torq. took third in a homerun derby at 10:00 at night and it was like 50 degrees. i am 10 yers old
Cons: paint chips easy, but its about the pop not the paint

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.
