Description
The DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Bat! DeMarini isn't satisfied just having one of the top selling bats in the game. They want to give players the most DOMINANT bat in the game. With this season's Voodoo, they've done just that. The two-piece DeMarini Voodoo Paradox draws its name from its new Paradox Composite handle. This fresh new technology creates an even stiffer handle than in years past. When combined with the Voodoo's X10 Alloy thickness-tuned barrel, this bat becomes ultra-responsive. The X10 Alloy used on the barrel is finely tuned and shaped to provide the thinnest walls, allowing the barrel to be lighter and have a larger than sweet spot than ever before! Inside the barrel, DeMarini has placed their Taper Ring lower than ever to open up the sweet spot even further and reduce the heaviness of the bat. At the end of the barrel, DeMarini's ION V End Cap eliminates vibration by pushing energy back into the barrel for maximum power leading to a great pop of the bat. On the other end, DeMarini introduces their new RCK (Really Cool Knob). This anatomically correct knob may be a small addition, but makes a huge impact by letting the bat rest comfortably in your hand so you don't feel a thing. Better feel, stiffer construction, more power - that's the Voodoo Paradox! DeMarini: Born Hardcore! The DeMarini Voodoo: WTDXVDC is BBCOR Certified and approved for play in high school and college. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

I am looking for a more balanced bat and I was looking at the 2013 Easton S2 and the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo . I was wondering which one is more balanced. james
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult bat will have a barrel heavy, end loaded feel to the swing weight. The S2 will be much more balanced.

I am more of a contact hitter. Should I get the 2014 Voodoo or the 2014 Vexxum? Josh
For a contact hitter, I would recommend going with the 2014 DeMarini Vexxum NVS BBCOR: DXVXC Adult over the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult due to the fact that the NVS is balanced.
Marcus
What makes the DeMarini Voodoo a more elite bat as compared to the DeMarini Vexxum? If I prefer a more balanced bat like the DeMarini Vexxum, will I lose any power when compared to the DeMarini Voodoo? jimmy crack corn
The DeMarini Voodoo since is end loaded will have a bit more pop than the DeMarini Vexxum, that is if the Voodoo doesn't slow down your bat speed.
Chad M.
In your own opinion would you choose the Vexxum or the Voodoo? Why? NICKname
Both bats are very good. However, they are designed for different types of hitters. The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult is end loaded and best suited for a player with power. The new paradox material makes the Voodoo stiffer than the 2014 DeMarini Vexxum NVS BBCOR: DXVXC. The 2014 DeMarini Vexxum NVS BBCOR is very balanced, designed for a player who needs to increase their bat speed.
Kara

The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult bat features an end loaded swing weight and is designed for power hitters with above average swing speeds. For help speeding up your bat, I would recommend the balanced 2014 Vexxum NVS.
Mac
I have the old 2012 Voodoo and liked the old end loaded feel, but I have been popping up a lot. Is this bat still really end loaded or is it a little more balanced? Curious
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult is still going to have the end loaded feel and the handle will have a stiffer feel than ever.
Noah
How can you tell when a bat has lost its pop? Or, when it's just the batter not hitting as well? dg
When a bat loses its pop, you will start to notice that it makes a different sound than what it used to make when it we performing at its peak. Sometimes you can tell by the feel of the bat at impact as well, as it may sting a little more and may not feel as smooth to swing. You may also notice the velocity of the ball off the bat is not be like it had been. If the bat is still under warranty, you can contact the DeMarini at 1-800-937-2287.

I am 5 ft 9 in and am 155 pounds and I hit number three. I have 2 more USSSA seasons before high school. Should I get a BBCOR or should I wait? dd
Typically, BBCOR bats like the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult will not be as high performing as a USSSA approved bat. We would start to make the transition to a heavier bat such as the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo: DXVD5 Senior League.

The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult has the stiffest composite material in its handle that transfers the energy you create more efficiently to the ball.

The 2014 DeMarini Vexxum would be an ideal bat for a contact hitter because of its low swing weight and balanced. The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo is more end loaded and designed for a power hitter.
Damon
Which bat would be better for a contact hitter that has some power, the Easton XL1 or the Demarini Voodoo paradox? Just Gonzo
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult and the 2013 Easton XL1 BBCOR: BB13X1 Adult are both suitable for a contact hitter with power. The two-piece design is best for a contact hitter, and an end loaded bat is designed for a power hitter. The biggest difference is the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult will be stiffer.
Kara
Does the DeMarini Voodoo Paradox feel the same as Voodoo's in years past? Like the 2013 voodoo. Just Gonzo
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult has a stiffer feel than the 2013 Voodoo. They are both end loaded.
Kara
What is better for a contact hitter 2014 Voodoo Paradox or 2014 CF5 limited edition? I'm 5'5 105 pounds and play 13u baseball. Max Sensing
The DeMarini CF5 Limited Edition is going to be best for a contact hitter because of the balanced swing weight.
Noah
I am 5'6" and weigh 100 lbs. I am a very good contact hitter with pretty good power and pretty good bat speed. I like slightly end loaded bats and balanced bats too. I am looking at the 2014 Easton S2, 2013 Easton S2, 2013 Easton XL2, 2014 DeMarini Vexxum NVS, and the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo Paradox. What length and weight should I get of which bat? Thank you for your time. R
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult bat would be a good selection for your slightly end loaded feel. Also, a 29" would be your recommended sizing.
Brandon
I'm a contact hitter with some power as well. Is this bat good for me? twochainz
Yes, the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult bat would be good for a hitter that swings for power. It will have an end loaded swing feel.
Brandon
I'm 5'6" and about 150 lbs., what length and weight should I get? I'm a little on the stronger side if that even matters. hawks3

Aubrey
I am a contact hitter and had great success with 2012 DeMarini Voodoo with many base hits. Will the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo be good for me? Voodoo
The DeMarini Voodoo is end loaded and typically preferred by a power hitter, but if it worked for you I would stick with it. The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo will have a higher quality Paradox composite.
Damon
What is difference between 2014 Voodoo and the 2014 Voodoo Overlord? Jerry
The 2014 DeMarini Overlord features new D-Fusion technology which helps to reduce vibration compared to the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult bat.
Aubrey
My son is 13 years old, 6'1" and about 160 lbs. He is as strong as a bull. What would be the right bat for him. He hits the ball extremely well. I am looking for the bat that will give him the best advantage. aparks1052
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult bat would be a great choice for a power hitter. The two-piece design and end loaded swing weight would be very comfortable for him.
Brandon

Aubrey
Which has more pop, this or the CF6? drewtheballer
Both the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR and the 2014 DeMarini CF6 BBCOR will have similar "pop" as they both have to meet the same certifications. The CF6 is a two-piece fully composite design and has a very balanced swing weight. The Voodoo is a two-piece hybrid design and has a slightly end loaded swing weight. The CF6 is best suited for contact hitters and the Voodoo will be better suited for power hitters.
John H
Is this bat more balanced than the previous models? Cesar
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult will still have an end loaded feel.
Tori
Will this barrel be as long as Easton's XL series? tannerbaseball
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult will have a slightly shorter barrel than the Easton XL because it only has a slight end load.
Tori
What is the difference between the 2014 Voodoo DXVD5, DXVDR , and DXVDC? richierich
The differences between these models are their length to weight ratio and what certifications they carry. This 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC is an Adult bat with a -3 length to weight ratio. The DXVD5 is a Senior League model with a -5 length to weight ratio. And the DXVDR is another Senior League model that features a -9 length to weight ratio. The DXVDC is the only BBCOR certified model of the three, and the DXVDR and DXVD5 both feature the new USSSA BPF 1.15 certification mark.
Mac

No, we do not recommend hitting the yellow dimpled balls with the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult bat.
Brandon

Brandon
How much will the Voodoo Overlord be when it comes out? foster3
The Voodoo Overlord should be $299.99 when it comes out.
Tori
I'm 14 years old, 5'8", and 175 pounds. Is this bat right for me? hi
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult is going to be slightly end loaded and best suited for a power hitter. If you are more of a contact hitter, a balanced bat like the CF6 may be a better fit.
Tori
I'm 5'8, 200 lbs and I recently dislocated my left thumb and I'm a right hand hitter. Is this a light bat to swing with without a bat weight? Reggie
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult is an end loaded bat. We recommend the 2014 DeMarini Vexxum NVS BBCOR: DXVXC Adult. It is a very balanced bat with great pop.
Kara
I am 6'0 210 pounds would I be fine swinging the the 32.5 or the 33? Devyn
Based on your height and weight, the recommended size is a 33" 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult, bu the 32.5" model will work just fine as well.
Jason
I'm 5'5 senior in high school and weigh 140 pounds. I recently broke my 2013 Voodoo and was deciding between this, the 2013 Vexxum, 2012 M2M and the 2014 Paradox. I have a very quick swing with a 33", but which bat would you recommend for me? FCBaseball27
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult is a stiff, end loaded bat. It is best for a power hitter. The 2013 Vexxum, is slightly end loaded, but has more flex. The M2M is also a stiff bat that is slightly end loaded. The M2M or the Voodoo would be best for a power hitter. The Vexxum would be better for a contact hitter.
Kara
My son is a freshman and has yet to go through his growth spurt. He is 5' 1" and weighs about 90 lbs. He has a great swing, and I'm looking for something he can control with some pop. joe
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult is an end loaded model better suited for a stronger, power hitting player. I'd recommend a more balanced model to help increase control, such as the 2013 DeMarini CF5 LE BBCOR: DXCFC-LE Adult.
Katie
Can you hit dimpled balls with the 2013 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR? ChrisT
We do not recommend using any non-wood bat, including the 2013 or 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult, in commercial batting cages that use yellow "dimple" balls. These balls are more dense than the game balls that the bats are designed to hit. Also, many manufacturers list in their warranty details that hitting these balls will void your warranty against defects.
Mac
Which 2013-14 Demarini bat should a contact hitter use? I've been looking at the CF5 LE and not a big fan of Vexxums. AlexFloyd
The DeMarini Voodoo models will have an end loaded swing weight which are preferred by the power hitters. The DeMarini CF5 and CF6 would be ideal for you. Both models will be a two-piece full composite design with a balanced swing weight. The CF6 model uses DeMarini's Paradox composite which give the bat a huge sweet spot.
John
How end loaded is this bat? Is it more end loaded then the 2012 XL1? homerun17
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult bat will feel just as end loaded as the Easton XL-Series.
Brandon
What is the biggest performance difference between the XL3 and Voodoo? baller
The XL3 has a stiffer flex with its one-piece design and doesn't eliminate vibration as well as a two-piece bat like the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult does. Both bats are BBCOR certified, so your personal preference to design is going to be a big factor in any difference you seen in performance.
Mac
Is there a difference in the performance of the Voodoo Paradox, and the Voodoo Overlord? original_tec
The OVERLORD has been upgraded with the new D-Fusion Handle technology that eliminates vibration and transfers energy more efficiently to the barrel. Other than that, both models will be constructed exactly the same. Both bats are BBCOR certified, so your personal preference to design is going to be a big factor in any difference you see in performance.
Tessa L.
This is my first year for BBCOR. Should I get the Voodoo or the Vexxum NVS? SMS
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) Adult has an end loaded swing weight and swings heavier than the Vexxum NVS. The Vexxum NVS has a balanced swing weight and is one of the lightest swing bats on the market. The Vexxum is great for a player using BBCOR for the first time.
Jason
I am looking at this bat, but I need a more balanced bat. I am a contact hitter. Any suggestions on any type of bats? j baseball
Two bats by DeMarini that are more balanced than the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) Adult are the 2014 DeMarini CF6 BBCOR (DXCFC) Adult and the 2014 DeMarini Vexxum NVS BBCOR (DXVXC) Adult.
Jason
Is this bat more end loaded and heavier than the 2012 Voodoo model? And do you think this bat is better than the Easton XL2 from 2013? jayro
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) has a similar end loaded feel as the 2012 Voodoo. The Voodoo and the 2013 Easton XL2 are similar in performance.
Kara
Is the 2013 XL2 as end loaded as Voodoo Paradox? harris
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) will have a similar end loaded feel as the Easton XL2.
Kara
Would this bat be of good use to a power hitter? If not what bat is a good bat for me? I am a power hitter. big c
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult bat would be a great option for a power hitter. The Voodoo offers a slightly end loaded swing weight which is a design that power hitters typically use best. I would also suggest checking out the Easton XL1 and RIP-IT Prototype (B1403) for other great options that have slightly end loaded swing weights.
Mac
Where is the sweet spot on the bat? jamesb21
The sweet spot for the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) is on the fat part of the barrel between the "E" and the first "I" in DeMarini.
John
How does the sweet spot of this bat compare to the Easton MAKO? joebro
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) and the 2014 Easton MAKO BBCOR (BB14MK) are both very high performing bats. The have a similar sweet spot.
Kara
i am 5'9" and around 140 lbs. I am looking for a DeMarini and I was thinking of getting the Voodoo Paradox, Vexxum, or the CF5 (2014 for all of them). I am mostly a contact hitter and I was wondering which one you'd recommend for me? anon
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) is an end loaded bat and designed for a power hitter. The 2014 DeMarini Vexxum NVS BBCOR (DXVXC) and the 2014 DeMarini CF6 BBCOR (DXCFC) are balanced, two-piece bats and best for a contact hitter.
Kara
How is this bat compared to the 2014 Rawlings Trio ? brandonark
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult is going to be slightly end-loaded, whereas the 2014 Rawlings TRIO End-Load BBCOR is going to be completely end-loaded. The Rawlings is also going to be a three piece hybrid design and the Voodoo is a two-piece design.
Merritt
All coaches say I have terrific bat speed. I am more of a line drive hitter would this bat be ok for me? brandonark
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) Adult will have a slight end load which would be preferred by most power hitters but if you are comfortable with using an end load then this bat would not be one to shy away from. Most line drive hitters will prefer a balanced swing weight.
Aaron
What bat will perform better for a power hitter my 5150, Machine, or should i try this bat? How similar will this bat perform to the New Overlord? Baller since day one
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) features an end loaded swing weight, which power hitters tend to prefer. The 5150 and the Machine both feature a balanced swing weight, which is preferred by contact hitters.The Voodoo will be similar to the OVERLORD, however, the OVERLORD features the new D-Fusion technology which dampens vibration and extends the sweet spot. The Paradox composite allows it to swing more similar to a one-piece.
Tessa L.
How would you compare this bat to the Easton S1? And is it good for power or contact? E
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult is an end loaded model that features a composite handle and alloy barrel. The Easton S1 will have a composite handle and composite barrel with a balanced swing weight. The Voodoo would be best suited for a power hitter. The S1 would be great for a contact hitter.
Justin R.
How does this bat compare to the 2013 limited edition Voodoo? paul
The 2013 DeMarini Voodoo Limited Edition (DXCFC-LE) is very similar in design and performance to the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC). They are both slightly end loaded, two piece hybrid designs. The main difference between the two will be the material the handle is made of. The 2014 Voodoo features the "Paradox Composite" handle which is slightly stiffer than the "TR3 F.L.O. Composite" handle featured on the 2013 Voodoo LE.
Patrick
What bat would be better the Voodoo Overlord or the CF6. I'm not more of a power hitter or contact, kind of in the middle. Which bat is better? james
The DeMarini Voodoo Overlord is a two-piece bat with an alloy barrel and the DeMarini CF6 is a two-piece full composite bat. Both bats have great reviews and are top sellers this year. Alloy bats are hot out of the wrapper and composite bats require a small break-in period. Once broken in, both will be great performing, durable bats.
Austin
Whats the differences between 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) and the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo overlord? vinny
Both bats have the new Paradox composite. The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) has the new D-fusion handle which helps to eliminate more vibration and extends the sweet spot through the entire barrel.
Damon
Which bat would be better, the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult or the 2014 Easton XL1 BBCOR: BB14X1 Adult? I'm more of a power hitter. kyle
Both the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) and the 2014 Easton XL1 BBCOR (BB14X1) will be great options for a power hitter. Both models will have an end load that is preferred by power hitters. The main difference will be the DeMarini Voodoo will have an alloy barrel and the Easton XL1 will have a composite barrel that is slightly longer than that on the DeMarini Voodoo.
Kelby
Is the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) adult and the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo Paradox the same bat? If not whats the difference between them? jordanphipps
Yes, the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) is the same as the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo Paradox.
Damon
I am 5'9", around 140 lbs. What size would you recommend in the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR DXVDC Adult? contact/line drive hitter
Based on your height and weight, I would recommend a 32" 29 oz in the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC Adult).
Justin R.
I'm torn between buying the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo and the 2013 Easton S1. What would you recommend, overall? I am definitely a line drive/gap hitter. J-bomb
Both the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo and the 2013 Easton S1 are very quality bats, and you'd be hard pressed to go wrong with either choice. However, I would recommened the 2013 Easton S1 for a line drive hitter such as yourself. The S1 is designed for line drive type hitters, with a balanced swing weight to allow good bat speed through the zone. The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo has a slightly end-loaded swing weight which is typically favored by power hitters.
Kyle
Which is better for a power hitter: this bat or the Voodoo Overlord? papi
I would recommend the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD BBCOR (DXVDC) for a power hitter.
Jackson
I am 5'9" and I weigh 135 lbs. Which bat size would be better for me: a 32" or a 33"? hammer
The suggested length based off of your height and weight would be 33 inches. Ultimately, the decision comes down to player preference and what feels the most comfortable.
Merritt
I'm not a power or contact hitter. Which is better for me: the CF6 or this? bob
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC Adult) will have more of a barrel heavy feel to the swing weight. The CF6 will feel more balanced. Each will have great performance and incredible pop.
Brandon
I am torn between the 2014 Voodoo and the 2014 Mako. Which one should I get? johnny baseball
The choice of bat is right for you would be based on your personal preference for the material your bat is made out of as well as the balance. The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) features an alloy barrel and a slightly end-loaded weight. The 2014 Easton MAKO (BB14MK) features a composite barrel and a more balanced feel. Both bats will be high performance models that will be very durable.
Patrick
Does this bat need a break-in period? brinbaseball
No, since the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) has a X10 alloy barrel it does not require a break-in period.
Bobby
Which bat will be best for me: the Voodoo Overlord or this one? I am a 6'2" 230 pound power hitter. Ben
Most power hitters prefer an end loaded swing weight. Both the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) Adult and Overlord are end loaded. Either should be a good choice.
Aaron
I'm 5'5" and about 120 lbs. What size would you recommend? bryce
Based on your height and weight, I would recommend a 31" model in the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC Adult). If you go with a balanced model, such as the Vexxum, you may be able to go up to a 32".
Justin R.
Is there a temperature use specification? I have seen other DeMarinis that say do not use in less than 60 degrees. blckshrts
We suggest that you do not use the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) in temperatures under 55 degrees. What happens is that the ball becomes more dense, which can lead to the denting and cracking of bats.
Jackson
Is the length between the grip and the beginning of the barrel always the same with the Voodoos? Orr
Yes, the grip between the barrel and the grip should be the same on all models of the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC). This is only in the case of the bat being the same length.
Jackson
Is the 2014 Voodoo legal for high school? clutch
Yes, this 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) Adult bat is approved for play in high school and college baseball. The BBCOR performance certification mark should be all that you need, and this bat does carry it.
Mac
What is the difference between this Voodoo and the OVERLORD? Bd
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD will feature the new D-Fusion handle that eliminates vibration during contact.
Justin R.
I saw in stores that this bat comes in a black and gold grip. Is there any difference between the performance between the two? jet
The different grip tape on the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) will not affect the performance of the bat.
Kara
I am 6'1" and 135 pounds. What size would you recommend? miketroutfan
We would recommend you use a 33" in the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) Adult.
Aaron
What's the difference between this and the red 2013 version? Bryce
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) Adult bat features an upgraded composite handle when compared to the 2013 model. The Paradox Composite handle in the 2014 model offers a stiffer flex and transfers energy more efficiently to the ball on contact.
Mac
My Voodoo has little tiny marks or dents. Is that bad or unusual? johny baseball
If your 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) Adult has any type of dents or cracks in it then it is not a good thing. That will certainly jeopardize the performance. This bat came with a full 12 month manufacturer's warranty.
Aaron
Are the walls much thinner in this bat compared to the red 2013 model? If so, will it effect the performance that much? campus15
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC Adult) will have the same wall thickness as previous models. The 2014 will feature a Paradox composite handle. This will give the bat a stiffer feel and cut down on the hand sting and vibration. The overall performance will be better as well.
Brandon
Is the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD BBCOR (DXVDC) Adult worth the extra $100? timmy
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD BBCOR (DXVDC) Adult will be higher performing than the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) Adult because of the D-Fusion handle which extends the sweet spot through the entire barrel.
Damon
I'm 5'4" and 140 lbs. What size BBCOR bat should I use? hayden
Based on your height and weight we recommend a 31" 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC).
Kara
I am 5 foot 5 and weigh 160 pounds. What size BBCOR bat should I buy? mike
Based on your height and weight, we would recommend the 31 inch size of a BBCOR bat like the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC).
Patrick
I am 5'8" and 175 lbs. What size should I get in this bat? big hitter
Based on the information you gave me I would suggest a 32" 29 oz. in the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo (DXVDC).
Zach
What is the difference between this years model and the 2012 model? I've noticed that both bats are almost the same price. Adam
The 2014 Voodoo (DXVDC) will use a high performing X10 alloy which is an upgrade from the SC4 alloy of the previous Voodoo's. Also, the 2014 will have a paradox composite handle which will give the bat a stiffer feel.
John
I'm swinging a 32" 29 oz. and yes it does seem like I'm hitting a 31". But, I was feeling the barrel when I got it and in the sweet spot it has a little lump in the barrel. You cant see it by looking but you can feel it. Is this lump supposed to be there? JacobSmith
We have inspected the bats we have in our inventory and they also have a small lump on the sweet spot. This should not affect the performance of the bat.
Kara
I'm 5'10 1/2" and 160 lbs. What size bat do I need? hard hitter
Based on your height and weight we recommend a 32" 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC).
Kara
Is this bat end loaded? slugger
Yes, the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) features a slightly end loaded feel.
Bobby
Is this bat ASA certified? Looks like a great bat but if it's not, we can't use it. RB
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) bat is a BBCOR certified baseball bat. ASA certification is generally associated with softball equipment.
Patrick
I swung a Voodoo Overlord and really liked it. Is there a difference in feel between the two? Michael
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) will not have the D-fusion handle that the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD (DXVDC) will have. The D-Fusion handle will eliminate the vibration to the handle and redirect the energy back to the barrel. Other than that, the over feel will be very similar for both models.
Kelby
Im 5"8 120 LBS; what size bat do you recommend? Jake
The length that we would recommend for the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo (DXVDC) would be 30 inches.
Kyle
I'm 5'5 and 150 pounds and like heavy bats. What would be the best size bat for me. I have always used a 32". mnk34
I would recommend either a 31" or 32" 2014 DeMarini Voodoo (DXVDC). Since you prefer a heavier bat I would suggest going with the 32".
Bobby
Which aluminum bats have the largest sweet spots? JJJJJ
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) and the Easton XL3 would have some of the largest sweet spots for aluminum bats.
Justin R.

Using our Bat Coach, I determined that a 31" would be the best size for your son in the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC).
Kelby
My son wants this bat, he is 5'9" 155 lbs. Is a 32" or 33" good for him? He plays high school ball and is a tenth grader. joe
Based on his height and weight we recommend a 32" 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC).
Kara
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo or the new Rawlings Velo? nick
I would recommend the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) if you are more of a power hitter since it will have a slightly end loaded feel which is preferred by power hitters. The 2014 Rawlings 5150 VELO BBCOR (BBV3) is going to be a balanced model making it a better choice for a contact hitter.
Kelby
this isnt really a question about this bat, but what is the most balanced bbcor out there? i love a light swing weight johnny baseball?
The 2014 Easton MAKO BBCOR: (BB14MK) has been extremely popular, and is very well known for having a very balanced weight distribution and sweet spot as well. If you are looking for a bat to feel very balanced and light, the 2014 Easton MAKO would be a great option to check out.
Merritt
Which would you prefer: the DeMarini Voodoo or the Louisville Slugger EXOGRID 3? Zc_PT
Both bats perform very well. The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) is end loaded and is best suited for a power hitter. The Louisville Slugger EXOGRID 3 BBCOR (BB13EX) is a more balanced bat and would be better for a contact hitter.
Kara
How many hits does this bat need to take for it to be broken in? B-Stud20
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) features an alloy barrel that will not require a break in period.
Patrick
My son has an old youth Voodoo bat (2011) and I bought the Vexxum last year but he did not like it and when I hit with it seemed liked it was weighted towards the end and harder to swing. He has quick bat speed and hits the ball hard. Is the new Voodoo closer to the older style that he already has and loved? Also does it matter the Paradox or the OVERLORD? Joe
The 2011 Voodoo and the 2013 Vexxum were both end loaded. The new 2014 Vexxum model is balanced. The end loaded design of the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) will feel similar to the old Voodoo and old Vexxum. The Voodoo and the Voodoo OVERLORD use the same paradox composite and X10 alloy. The only difference is the OVERLORD uses new d-fusion technology to reduce vibration.
Kara
Im 5'10 and weigh 155. What is the preferred bat size for me? tigers
I would recommend a 32" 2014 DeMarini Voodoo (DXVDC) for you based on your height and weight.
Bobby
Can this bat be used in cold weather? Adam
We do not recommend using any bat, including the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC), in any temperatures below 55 degrees. The fibers in a regulation baseball become more dense and harder, which can cause premature damage to the barrel of the bat.
Tessa L.
I just got this bat, what is the coldest temperature I should use it in? evan
We do not recommend using the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) in temperatures lower than 55 degrees.

Is this an end loaded power hitter bat? Or a balanced contact hitter's bat? Richkid3
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult bat would be a great option for a power hitter. The Voodoo offers a slightly end loaded swing weight which is a design that power hitters typically use best.
Zach

The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD will feature the new D-Fusion handle that eliminates vibration during contact.
Zach
How can you tell if a DeMarini bat is double or single wall? Joe
Generally, the product description or bat features will include information as to whether or not the model will be single or double wall. However, sometimes it is not always listed. The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: (DXVDC) will incorporate X10 Alloy, which creates very thin walls and this will make this model a single wall bat because of its materials.
Merritt
Why do some Paradox have black grip tape whereas others have gold? johnathan
The Paradox Composite handle of The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) features a black grip tape and some other DeMarini models that feature the Paradox handle have different colors. It really just depends on the model.
Gary T.
Is this bat or the Voodoo OVERLORD more of an end loaded power hitters bat? Grant
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) and the OVERLORD are both end loaded bats and are better suited for power hitters. However, the OVERLORD has a little stiffer feel because of the D-Fusion handle and is slightly better for power hitters.
Jason
what is a better all around bat this one or the 2014 vexxum mike

Gary T.

Is the DeMarini Paradox Voodoo better or the Voodoo Overlord? Jimmy
Both the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) and the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD BBCOR (DXVDC) are great options. The main difference is the enhanced connection point between the handle and the barrel on the OVERLORD. This piece helps to better prevent sting and vibration to the hands.
Patrick

The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) and the

The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) will actually have an end loaded feel to the swing weight. It will not swing as light and balanced as the Easton S1 BBCOR.
Brandon
Is this bat still a good choice to this date? CatNation
Yes, the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD BBCOR (DXVDC) is typically a bat that is suited for power hitters because of the end loaded swing weight. However, if you have good bat speed and have some power the OVERLORD should be a solid choice for you. The end loaded swing weight will help provide you with more power.
Zach

The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) has a lighter swing weight than the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC)
Kara

Jason
I'm a 15 year old going into my sophomore year. I'm a line drive hitter that usually hits the gaps, but I am looking for more power. What would be a better choice: the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo or the 2014 Vexxum? cole
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) will be designed more for power hitters because it has an end loaded swing weight. It will swing slightly heavier than the DeMarini Vexxum since the Vexxum is a balanced model. I would suggest the Voodoo if you are looking for more power and can handle the extra swing weight of an end loaded bat.
Kelby
What is the difference between the 2014 Demarini Voodoo and the 2013? big c
The only difference between the 2013 and 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: DXVDC Adult is the material in their handles. The 2013 features the TR3 F.L.O. Composite in its handle while the 2014 carries the new Paradox Composite material in its handle. The Paradox Composite provides a stiffer flex which translates energy more efficiently to the ball and can result in more power for the player.
Zach
I am 5-4 and 85 lbs and I will be turning 13 soon. Which length would be best for me and is there possibly a model of this bat in -5 to -9 because I have little experience with a bbcor and the bat I currently use is a -13. C_Warren_SS
I would recommend a 30" bat for you based on your height and weight. I would recommend taking a look at the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo (DXVDR) or the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD (DXVD5). Both of those models should be more appropriate for your size.
Bobby
What is the difference of this bat and the 2014 RIP-IT BBCOR AIR? Mavs10
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) is a two-piece hybrid design with an end loaded swing weight. It is best suited for power hitters. The 2014 RIP-IT BBCOR AIR is a one-piece aluminum design and has a balanced swing weight. It is best suited for contact hitters.
John H
I am a contact and power hitter who plays 14u. Is this a bat that is good for me? I am 5'. Dmac
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) has an end loaded swing weight, which is great for players with power.
Jason
Do you prefer this DXVDC or the OVERLORD, for a 5'5" 7th grader? JAke
Both the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) and the 2014 OVERLORD would be great choices. The OVERLORD may feel more comfortable due to its D-Fusion handle. It will help eliminate more hand sting and vibration.
Brandon
Is this bat more end-loaded than the Easton XL3? roberto rodriguez
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) and the 2014 Easton XL3 BBCOR (BB14X3) will be similarly end-loaded and should provide a similar feel besides the fact that the Voodoo is a two-piece design and the XL3 is a one-piece.
Patrick
I'm 16 years old and I hit for power. Which bat should I get, the Paradox or the Overlord? mikey21
I would probably recommend the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD BBCOR: (DXVDC) because it will have some really great technology to help decrease vibrations, and increase performance. The slight end-load will also be very fitting for someone who hits for power. Overall, I think this model would be an excellent choice to take a closer look at.
Merritt
Is there a break in period? Caleb
No, the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo (DXVDC) does not require a break in period due to its alloy barrel.

Merritt
Which bat has more pop; this or the Easton MAKO? kagekiller
Both the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) and the 2014 Easton MAKO BBCOR (BB14MK) will live up to BBCOR standards for peak performance and both will be top performers. The "pop" or power that you see will be more an indication of the swing you put on the ball.
Patrick
I'm 5' 8" and 150 pounds. What size would you recommend for me? I hit for power and have really quick hands. caleb
Based on your height and weight, we recommend a 32" model of this 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC), but you could also consider a 33" if you were able to try one out and felt comfortable with it.
Mac
Why does this cost $399 and the other bat pack with the DeMarini Voodoo overlord cost $300? I thought that the overlord was a better bat. LH
Both the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) and the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD (DXVDC) are both great models, the bat pack with the Voodoo is priced at the $399.99 price because it is paired with the DeMarini CF5 (DXCFX-LE) which is also a very high end DeMarini bat.
Sean
This bat looks cool, but I haven't owned it. However, the size 31/28 does not sound right. Is that correct? Blaecco
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR: (DXVDC) will be BBCOR certified. Therefore, this model will have a standardized -3. A 31/28 is one of the regulatory sizes that can be found in all BBCOR models.

Merritt
What is the difference between the Voodoo Paradox and the Voodoo Overlord? Also, which is more balanced? catcher
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) and the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) will be similar in terms of balance or weighting. They are both end-loaded designs. The main difference is that the OVERLORD features an enhanced connection point between the barrel and the handle that helps to better reduce sting and vibration to the hands on a bad hit.

Patrick

The size of the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) that we would recommend would be dependent on both your height and your weight. The majority of players that are your size would use a 33 inch bat but if you are a bit smaller for your height I would go with a 32.
Patrick
Is this a good bat for contact hitters? bigboo
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) will have a barrel heavy feel. Many power hitter types love this bat. Contact hitters can succeed with this bat, as long as it does not slow down their bat speed.
Brandon
Is it equally balanced as the DeMarini Black 2012, or more/less balanced? bigboo
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) is NOT balanced. It will have an end loaded feel to the swing weight. Power hitting guys typically love this bat.
Brandon
Is this bat less end-loaded than the Overlord? bigboo
No. The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) and the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) are similarly weighted and balanced. They will both have the same end-loaded feel.
Patrick
I am a contact and power hitter. I want a BBCOR bat. Also, I like bats with ping sounds. What do you recommend? swagmasterj
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) will feature that ping sound you are looking for. It is great for power hitting players.
Brandon
How much of a difference does an end load make in the Voodoo and other BBCOR bats and does it effect your swing speed? ben
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) will have an end loaded feel. It will make a difference in swing weight compared to more balanced bats. Power guys love the end loaded feel. Contact hitters may prefer a more balanced option for more bat control.
Brandon
I am a contact hitter. Would this bat, the OVERLORD, the EXOGRID 3, or the Louisville Slugger Omaha be best for me? ccnumber5
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) may feel too barrel heavy for a contact hitter like yourself. You would have better success with the Louisville Slugger Omaha 515 BBCOR or the EXOGRID 3 BBCOR.
Brandon
I am about 5 foot 5 and weigh 160 pounds. I am a contact hitter with some power. Would this be better fitted to me or the Vexxum NVS? Which size is best? rain maker
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) is more end-loaded so it will be a bit better suited for a power hitter. The 2014 DeMarini Vexxum NVS BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVXC) is more balanced and would be made more for a contact style hitter but can be used by all types of hitters. If you are not sure which style of hitter you are, I would probably lean more towards the Vexxum.
Patrick
I used this bat as a -9 so I am kind of used to the feel. However, now I need a -3 BBCOR bat and was wondering if I should get this model? Or, if I should try out the Rawlings 5150 BBCOR, because it is more balanced. nickyflash
Due to the fact that you are already making a big change in the weight of your bat, I would probably suggest looking for a balanced model. I think having an evenly balanced weight distribution will make the transition a little bit easier on you. Therefore, the Rawlings 5150 Alloy BBCOR Baseball Bat: (BBCA2) would be an excellent option to take a closer look at. This model will be very balanced, and incorporates great technology to help increase swing speed, and creates a lightweight feel. In the end, it will ultimately come down to what you feel most comfortable swinging. However, my top recommendation due to the circumstances would be to stick to a balanced model.
Merritt
Do you have to break in the 2014 Voodoo Paradox BBCOR? aj
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) features an alloy barrel that does not require a break in process.

The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) and the 2015 Easton S3Z ZCORE Baseball Bat (BB15S3Z) are very different by design. The Voodoo is end-loaded and a hybrid design with a composite handle and alloy barrel. The S3Z is a single piece alloy design that is well balanced. If you are a contact hitter, the balanced swing weight of the S3Z would be more beneficial.
Patrick
My son is 13 years old. He is 5 foot 10 and weighs 134 pounds. He is a power hitter. Which bat would be better for him, the DeMarini Voodoo Overlord or DeMarini Voodoo with Paradox composite? bobby baseball
Both the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) and the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) are great options. The major difference is that the Overlord features the d-fusion handle that has better sting and vibration protection.
Patrick
I have the CF6 and I am more of a power hitter. I was wondering if this bat would be a better BBCOR bat than my BBCOR CF6, for someone like me who is 5'6" 150 lbs? My CF6 seems unresponsive, even on hits on the sweet spot. P.T.
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) has an end loaded swing weight and is typically a better option for a power hitter. The CF6 has a more balanced swing weight, and is typically a better bat for contact hitters. Based on your height and weight, we suggest a 32" model.

For the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC), our bat coach recommended a 31"
Joe
Does this bat and the Voodoo Overlord have the same feel or are they different? Banditnation13
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) is going to have the same swing weight as the DeMarini Voodoo Overlord. The main difference between the two bats is that the Overlord will feature DeMarini's new D-Fusion handle technology which eliminates vibration and extends the sweet spot through the barrel.
John
I am 5'0 and weight 85 lbs, what size bat should I get? prezels
For someone your height and weight, the bat coach feature on our website recommends a 29-30"

While both are great bats, the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) does not have the D-Fusion Handle Technology that the OVERLORD has. That helps eliminate vibration and extend the sweet spot.
Chinyere
Which bat has more pop: the Voodoo Overlord, or the Voodoo Paradox? Stefan
Both the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) and the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) will perform similarly. The BBCOR standard limits the bat's performance or "pop." The major difference would be the D-fusion handle on the OVERLORD that provides better sting and vibration protection and regulation of the flex of the bat.
Patrick
What's the difference between this bat and the 2014 overlord Voodoo? Jeff
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) does not feature the D-Fusion Handle Technology that the OVERLORD features.
Jake

The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) has a slightly end loaded swing weight.
Allison
What is more top heavy, this or the Easton XL1? smooth killa
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) and the 2014 Easton XL1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14X1) will be similarly weighted. The Voodoo may have a slightly more end-loaded feel but it would be a very small difference.
Patrick
I'm 5'1" and 100 pounds. What size should I get? Also how much sting will it give you? jacob
For a player of your size, our bat coach actually recommends a 30" 27 oz. model. We will not carry the DXVDC in that size, however, another bat you could potentially use would be the 2014 DeMarini CF6 BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXCFC). Both bats will feature the D-Fusion handle to help eliminate shock and vibration through the handle.
Joe
I'm 5'8'' and 175 lbs and a freshman in high school. What size would you recommend? John
For your size we would recommend a 32" in the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC).
Allison
I have pretty good bat speed and I am looking to consistently drive the ball. Do you think this bat or the Vexxum NVS has the better pop? T
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) and the 2014 DeMarini Vexxum NVS BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVXC) are both excellent bats. They both feature a hybrid construction (composite handle and alloy barrel). When deciding between the two, you'll notice that there is a smaller barrel length on the Vexxum that gives it one of the lowest M.O.I.'s on the market. Low M.O.I. creates faster swing speeds. If you would like to get an even faster swing, the Vexxum may be the bat for you. However, the Voodoo will have a lengthier barrel which creates an increased sweet spot that a lot of hitters are looking for in their bats.
Ben
What is the balance point and MOI? Shaq Daddy
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) has a slightly end loaded swing weight so the weight of the bat will be concentrated at the end of the barrel. It will also feature a relatively low M.O.I.
Tom
How does this bat differ from the 2012 version? likkk
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) will differ from the DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC)-(2012 model) in the type of composite material used to create the handle. The 2014 Voodoo will use paradox composite that creates a stiffer handle than offered in the 2012 Voodoo. Also, the alloy that has been used to create the 2014 model will be a little different from the 2012 model. Besides that, the bats will be very similar. Both bats will offer the hybrid construction and slightly end-loaded feel.
Ben
Being 6'5" and 170 pounds in sophomore year of high school, should I use 33" or 34"? I prefer an end load. Chair
For a player of your size, our bat coach is recommending the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) in a 34" pattern.

Joe
Will there be a 2015 of this model? ktyl
The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) or "Voodoo Paradox" is not available in the 2015 line. DeMarini strictly went with the 2015 DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD FT BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) for this year rather than offering both styles.

My boys are freshmen in high school & are 5'9" and about 150 lbs. I was looking to get them a 31" 28 oz. bat. Would this be a good size for them? Twins

Our Bat Coach tool is useful in helping determine what size would work best for you.

Will this bat be on sale for the holidays? PinkertonBaseball

Cameron
Is this bat good for power hitters? I have been using a Mako and can't hit the ball as far but I used a Voodoo in pratice and nearly hit the ball out. Nightfrost
The DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Baseball Bat: DXVDC would be a great bat for a power hitter. The end-loaded design is going to be preferred more by power hitters due to the mass concentration in the barrel. Basically, in an end-loaded bat you will have a smaller sweet spot but the mass will be more concentrated in this area. This will cause a greater pendulum effect (think whip) when the barrel head is going through the zone. When the ball is struck within this smaller/more concentrated sweet spot one will see a greater impact on distance balls travel. The reason why you are not experiencing this with the MAKO is due to the fact that the mass in the barrel is evenly distributed to give it the balanced feel. This will make the bat easier to swing but with less mass in the sweet spot you will not get the same effect as far as distance on batted balls and barrel whip.
Cameron
Is this bat good for power hitters? dan22
The DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) is an end loaded bat and is great for power hitters!
Damon
Which bat is better between the 2016 Easton MAKO TORQ and the DeMarini Voodoo? Cabriell
Both the DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR Baseball Bat: DXVDC and the 2016 Easton MAKO TORQ BBCOR Baseball Bat: BB16MKT are excellent, high-quality baseball bats. I wouldn't necessarily say that one is better than the other as that will be subjective depending upon who you ask. This Voodoo is a two-piece hybrid design that will feature an alloy barrel and a composite handle while the MAKO TORQ is a two-piece fully composite construction.

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.
