Pros: INSANE POP. My goodness. My daughter has noticed a huge increase in ball flight. She never complains about sting anymore. DeMarini has my money for life. This bat is unreal.
Cons: Not a single one. The grip gets dirty but I always buy an extra grip anyways.
Pros: My daughter is on a 9U travel league. This bat has made a huge difference in the distance the ball travels. She never hit out near the fence prior and can do this pretty consistently now.
Cons: price
Pros: Huge difference in hitting! My daughter nailed every ball every time up at bat yesterday in the tournament. She was 6 for 6 with 3 triples, 2 doubles and a single! She loves this bat and definfetly worth the money!!
Cons: Not a single thing!!
Pros: Great pop
Cons: Cost & Durability. My 13 old daughter 5'-2"/100# has broken her 4th bat. This current model has lasted a month and half! These bats have not been exposed to cold temperatures or adverse conditions. There is absolutely no reason for a girl this size to be destroying these products. DeMarini has an issue! Sure we can send in for a one time replacement but we will not get a year out of a $349.95 bat! We have tried other bats but come back to the DeMarini because of the pop ... it just fizzles quick. Just disappointing to spend this amount of money for something that doesn't last. As the bat features say "Recommended for Younger Players Who Take Their Game Seriously" well DeMarini needs to step up their game and take it seriously!
Pros: Lots of pop!!! Hot right out of the wrapper.
Cons: Durability... Ours haven't had issues yet but most who have had to warranty it.
Pros: Awesome bat. When they say hot out of the wrapper, this bat is that and more. My daughter already hits good but when she hit with this bat for the first time, she was even shocked that she was hitting it like she was. Would reorder in a heartbeat. I love the way the pop sounds when she hits the ball... Would recommend this bat to anyone.
Cons: Not nothing!!!!! This is a awesome bat and my daughter loves it....
Pros: 1st time using the bat, my granddaughter hit a HR...next time at bat, bases were loaded, she hit a triple !! Loves her new bat !!
Cons: none
Pros: Great bat.
Cons: The bat is listed as a -11. I weighed the 28 inch and it is a -10. It is a a little heavy for my 8-year old who is pretty strong.
Pros: this bat has a great sweet spot. no sting to the hands. my daughter loves it
Cons: nothing other than price
Pros: all heard " Its the batter not the bat" True - but this bat makes good batters very good and very good batters OUTSTANDING! I have been softball Dad and coach to 2 girls for 10 years. my 10 YO got THE CFX for Xmas and she must be getting an extra 30 feet in hit distance compared to her old 100 dollar bat. This bat gives her confidence and zero vibration ! Its intimidating to the pitcher! pull the plug and give her the tools to succeed and do her best! Sick pop, great feel, great design,all around great bat! Any gorls that steps up with this bat sends a message that they mean business!
Cons: none
Pros: The bat is a bit heavier than what I originally wanted, but there are not a lot of options for a light 28 inch bat. My daughter got used to the bat quickly and crushes balls with it.
Cons: Definitely pricey.
Pros: Great pop and feel. 13u daughter hit 2 homeruns in 2 tournaments back to back weekends.
Cons: Bat cracked after 2 tournaments (lasted about 20 games). Unfortunately this was the replacement bat for a bat that broke in the late fall. So no refund on this bat that didn't even last a spring season.
Pros: My daughter plays for 8U travel team and most girls are using composite in her league and team. This is her first one and I was unsure how she would handle it or how it would do. I gusss I was a bit skeptical, but she popped one out to the outfield like it was nothing. She has a great swing a lots of power but with her other bat, her hits were only going to infield. This bat definitely impressed me and gave her a lot of confidence. Bat is light and seems pretty durable.
Cons: Price may be high for some.
Pros: this is a great bat with awesome pop
Cons: the only down side, and its my fault....I should have ordered the 28/17. instead of the 30 like the bat coach recommended. its too heavy for my daughter right now. cant exchange it because we already used it. guess we will let her grow into it.
Pros: NO BREAK IN, READY TO GO RIGHT OUT OF THE WRAPPER, HIT 2 DOUBLES WITH IT IN PRATICE IT SEEMS TO BE READY FOR GAME ACTION 10U TRAVEL BALL
Cons: NONE
Pros: Bat has pop. People that are complaining that their 13 year old daughter is breaking Demarini bats need to buy bats with less of a drop. A drop 11 bat is not durable enough for a strong teenager. Buy a drop 8 or drop 9 and stop blaming Demarini
Cons: Nada

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.
