Keep your receipt! Coach Mando coach
Pros: The bat is hot out the wrapper, no issues with sting unless ball was hit on the very end.
Cons: The CF Zen Junior Big Barrel was a replacement for my sons CF 8 JBB. The bats were both very similar with the difference being durability. First bat lasted about 9 months (league and several tourneys) while the replacement cracked within 3 months of use. If you buy, save your receipt! Getting bat replaced was not a hassle but you only get a one-time replacement, so you may get 8 months out of 2 bats!
Lot of money for 2 games Robert Carr other
Pros: Great pop for 2 games
Cons: Pop immediately dropped after second game. Won't buy this brand again.
Best bat Danger player
Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing
durability Issue 10u Baseball coach
Pros: amazing pop right out of the wrapper very well-balanced feel
Cons: The barrel cracked after about a hundred swings in three tournaments. The bat was amazing other than its durability and just bats was wonderful help as well as DeMarini in getting it exchanged right away. I'd look at the improved versions in the CF Zen line I truely believe this was mainly an issue in this drop 11 model.
Hot Bat Coach coach
Pros: this is the hottest that my son has ever swung
Cons: busted after 3 games and demarini is not being helpful on getting a return in a quick manner
Great Bat!! 7Yr Old Loves It Jason Gordon parent
Pros: My son had gotten the 2018 CF Zen -10 28/18 for a gift, but it was 3 oz too heavy which made it difficult for him to swing. Demarini was awesome and allowed me to return the bat for a voucher which i will use next yr whrn he gets bigger. Finally, I am a member of the Travel baseball group on Facebook and this bat was recomended due to the drop and weight diffrence this bat is around 1-2 ounces off. His 27/16 weighs in at 27/17.7oz. for my son this is perfect!!! Great pop, and doesnt sting, and perfect for the kid pitch 8U Federation ball team he plays on.
Cons: if your looking for a true drop -11 this is more like a -10 or -9.
Hot bat with durability issue Nate parent
Pros: Great pop and my son loves the feel
Cons: Durability.. My son has teammates that has this bat but only last a few months before it cracked

I want to order this bat for my almost 7 year old. He has an aggressive swing. With this bat being composite and made for kids under 8, do you think that this option would be okay for him? Lisa W
Do you think that with the soon to be rule changes in 2018 that bat manufactures (specifically DeMarini) will create a -11 or -12 in the 2-5/8 barrel specifically for players like my 8 yr old who has problem generating bat speed for the -10 models? Mississippi Bombers

Do they make a 29 inch 18 oz in this model? Joe Willis
I saw one expert say this bat is "hot out of the wrapper". By stating that, to me that's saying this bat needs no break in period. Another expert says to basically go through your normal break in process as with all composite bats, to me then it's not hot out of the wrapper. So which is it? My son's team just bought this for a team bat and I'd hate to see this bat get damaged because of an improper break in process. Bolt

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.
