The Gangster
Pros: Awesome.
Cons: None.
Dad
Pros: My 7 almost 8 year old has the 28" 17.5 oz. He has been hitting bombs with this bat if it's not over the outfielder's head the infield can't handle it because it's coming off the bat too fast. This bat seems to be a better fit than the 28" 18 oz. XL3 & the 28" 18 oz. S1 he put back in the closet for next season.
Cons: After 1 day of practice and 2 days of tournament play it's pretty scratched up, but we don't have a bat boy the crazy kids just throw it to the dugout.
Nitro Baseball
Pros: The bat seems to have good pop out of the box. Compared to the S1's it's no comparison... DeMarini wins! Closest bat to the Cat5-2 I have found.
Cons: None, yet...
Bigshaff
Pros: The bat looks great and has great pop. Several kids on the team use the bat and one has hit a home run with the bat.
Cons: Nothing yet
txbandits
Pros: great pop out of the box. hits better than the Easton.
Cons: n/a
OP Dad
Pros: I'm a big fan of alloy bats for kids ages 4-8 even though they aren't as durable but they have much better pop. When I found out this had a composite handle and alloy barrel it was just what I was waiting for. I had the DeMarini CF4 and it was useless for my son who is 6. He seemed like he just didn't swing hard enough for it to work correctly and seemed dead. I also have the composite S1 Easton and the XL3. I will not be using them again. The S1 is very light and has no pop unless you swing hard enough and hit it exactly on the sweet spot. This bat is great is great it shoots off the bat and has a composite handle so the kids wont be afraid to swing hard. I will post more after the Dizzy Dean World Series. I purchased the 26" 15.5 oz. bat for my son who is six. For those who want a great bat that don't want to spend the money the Worth Lithium Prodigy (only the red one) has GREAT pop but isn't that durable. Justbats.com is great to deal with very fast shipping.
Cons: None yet
Father
Pros: Amazing pop and a reasonable weight.
Cons: My 9 year old son hit a lob right where the two pieces separate and it easily broke.
Tom
Pros: My 6 year old (48lbs) playing coach pitch tournament ball got this bat and it has been fantastic. Went from hitting hard infield shots to consistently putting the ball deep into the outfield. Took a little getting used to with the difference in "swing feel" coming from a full composite Easton. Having the aluminum end helps generate power for younger players who can't swing hard/fast enough yet to make the full composite really work like it's intended to.
Cons: Not really a con...but $180 was hard to justify for a 26" bat that he will outgrow soon. Hate the paint job, but that's just personal taste. Wish it came in a solid color.
Too heavy Hou parent
Pros: Good pop, but too heavy promotes a bad swing.
Cons: Bought a 26", put it on the scale and it weights 18.6oz
don't waste your money larry cook coach
Pros: looks great
Cons: this bat is a dud. overpriced and doesnt hit as well as the eastons. dont waste your money.
overpriced larry cook coach
Pros: great look
Cons: its a dud doesnt have any pop. The Eastons hit way better.
OTBA
Pros: I just bought the demo bat and my son is enjoying the large sweet spot. Every time he hits the barrel, the ball just explodes off the bat.
Cons: None so far!
This bat Drake player
Pros: I love this bat, it gives me the perfect hit every time I connect
Cons: The pop isn't that great but it's still a good bat
Demerini Vexxum kaden stephan player
Pros: this bat has a lot of pop and it shoots off the bat and I've hit 8 doubles and 1 home run with it so far and i recommend this bat or the rawlings mach
Cons: none at all best bat ever. buy it
Awesome Ryder player
Pros: Best bat overall. has great pop, durability, and its great looking too. Get this bat!!!!!!!
Cons: NONE!!!!!
This is a good bat Trevor Nathaniel Trinchard player
Pros: It is very easy to handle and has great pop.
Cons: After a few weeks the grip starts to come off ,but a little bit of Athletics tape can handle that
Very Disappointed Baseball parent parent
Pros: Nice looking bat
Cons: My son has always been a line drive hitter, until we got this bat.. Solid hits in the "sweet spot" and the ball doesn't leave the infield. Maybe its just a defective bat, but for the price paid for it, we aren't happy with it.
vexxum RGR, Mexico, Mo. coach
Pros: solid bat/interesting half and half construction
Cons: end weighted which takes some getting used to, not my sons favorite bat as he prefers a more evenly weighted swing.
bat rocks dylan player
Pros: This bat is amazing. On the all star game I played I hit three homeruns in a row. Fyi we won.
Cons: None
Awesome season! Go Bulldogs! coach
Pros: I bought my son 28"/17.5oz. bat. So far, he leads the team with 4HR including two grand slams, three triples and nine doubles. He's only 8 yrs. old and he hits line drives a majority of the team. The opposing infielders doesn't have a shot at fielding the ball because the ball is coming off the bat like a cannon. His teammates are starting to use his bat and the hit parade is contagious. He loves this bat. Thanks DeMarini!
Cons: None yet!
DeMarine bob player
Pros: it is a very good bat
Cons: I don't have any
Good Bat Joe parent
Pros: This bat has real good pop right out of the box. More pop than the Easton S2.
Cons: This bat is a little heavier than advetised, but it is still a real good bat.
great bat Cardinals baseball parent
Pros: I have a smaller 9 year old that is a good contact hitter. Right out of the wrapper he was hitting hard line drives. Great pop! He loves this bat. Great design work. Zero vibration even when it hits off the handle. The weight distribution for my sons height weight is perfect. We got the bat on sale so great price, well worth the money!
Cons: none that we can find so far
Wayne Wayne parent
Pros: None
Cons: I purchased the DeMarini Vexxum Senior League Baseball Bat, DXVXY 28/17.5 for my sons fall ball season. After four tournaments and my son's inability to hit a ball out of the infield we stopped using the bat. We have found what looks like a crack in the end of the bat. We contacted DeMarini who requested photos of the bat, after their review of the photos we were told we were seeing cosmetic scratches. After this response from DeMarini we let other players at practice use the bat which resulted in no hits out of the infield. This bat is dead. DeMarini customer service has been no help with my warranty claim. This experience with my first purchase of a DeMarini product will influence my future purchase of a new bat.

Great bat Tyler other
Pros: Great bat has a big sweet spot and hits hard outfield linedrives
Cons: None yet
Disapoonted KJ parent
Pros: nat seems to be well made, but that's about it
Cons: Bought this bat for my son to use in winter workouts and it doesn't seem to have any pop. The bat construction seems to be well made, but missed the mark for us. Several kids on his team used the bat and had the same complaint. Sorry but not A good product for him

I noticed there were a couple of different models of this bat. I am looking at this model bat for my 6 year old son who is in coach pitch, using the regulation 9" hardball. Is the -10.5 oz model made for the coach pitch? Wondering because this model comes in a 30" which is unusual for smaller kids in coach pitch. JC
Is there a break-in for this particular bat? Tejano
I got my son this bat last week. He crushed the ball at the Coach Pitch tournament. He took Tournament MVP. This weekend we have a Machine Pitch Tournament. Speed is 42MPH. I noticed this bat is not designed for that kind of speed. What would you recommend that is close to this same bat? Coach BE
I am trying to decide between the mako, xl3 and Vexxum for my soon to be 7yr old.? which is the best? shelt
How does this bat compare up to the old Marucci Cat 5? The old Cat 5 is the best coach pitch bat I've found for my 7 year old, but unfortunately it cracked. I am trying to decide between this bat or the MAKO Junior Big Barrel. deuce

My son is 7 years old , 4 ft. 1 in. tall and weighs about 62 lbs. He currently uses a Louisville Slugger Omaha,( 27 in.,model YB136XL).

Also currently he is having good success with the Omaha. Matt

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.
