Time and again, DeMarini fastpitch bats dominate the details and tirelessly chase perfection through their ever-evolving technology. DeMarini set out to build a bat that would stand up to changing conditions and give players the same feel of hitting in a game, in practice, off a tee, or live pitching.
Bat Benefits:
Designed and perfected in D-LAB the Prism features a XLC Continuous Fiber Barrel that combines a low compression outer wall that works with the even lower-compression inner wall to create the most bounce you've ever seen off a bat. The gapped barrel technology also gives the bat a very distinct sound on contact. Finally, the ever-so-popular 3Fushion system keeps all of the built-up energy in the barrel for more explosiveness AND keeps the sting out of your hands on any mis-hits.

Average Ratings Based on 15 Customer Reviews
Pros: Great pop and overall feel of bat
Cons: N/A
Pros: Great balance and very good pop.. my 13yr old hits every thing hard. Ball comes off the bat very fast.. looking forward to warmer weather and the bat getting hotter!! Maybe hotter then the ghost!! My daughter has both and says the prism is easier to control and comes through the strike zone faster.. she loves it !!
Cons: To early to tell..
Pros: Great pop and great sound when you hit the ball
Cons: None so far
Pros: Best DeMarini so far
Cons: None
Pros: Great pop and feel
Cons: Only have used for 8 games and bad vibration and sounds bad already
Pros: Right out of box ball is hitting the fence. Or goin over
Cons: None yet.
Pros: Looks good
Cons: Brike after literally 2 uses. Inner wall rattles against outside wall after 2 uses. Calling demarini tomm.
Pros: My 13 year old daughter hit her first home run with this bat and she had less than 50 swings on it so vary hot out the of wrapper. She loves how balanced it is
Cons: With less than 100 swings on it. The bat split in 2. Now waiting on the bat to get back from DeMarini. Going to take close to 2 weeks for turn around.
Pros: Super pop right out of the wrapper..
Cons: Broke after only 4 games..
Pros: Has great pop.
Cons: Don’t buy a prism. It has great pop but durability and their customer service is terrible. My daughter who is 4’10” 100lb, broke the first prism after about a month and a half. Broke the replacement after 1 practice and 2 games in a tournament. Broke the second replacement the night we got it after a bucket and a half of balls. At this point I don’t trust the quality of the prism. Demarini would not give us our $400 back. A supervisor would not call me even though I asked several times, and was told each time one would call. I eventually had to settle for the LXT because tournaments are starting and my daughter needed a bat. The LXT is $50 cheaper than the Prizm. I was denied money back for the price difference and was denied credit for other merchandise. So I essentially paid $400 ( plus shipping broken bats back) for a $350 bat. Not happy. Don’t plan on supporting Demarini, Louisville Slugger or Wilson anymore. Hope Easton keeps the ghost hot for a while.
Pros: Lots of pop. Daughter says feels great to swing.
Cons: No cons
Pros: -Hot out of the box. -Good feel.
Cons: -We now own the second Prism on our team that completely died after two months (or less) of use. DeMarini really needs to pull this bat until they figure out how to make it more durable. I was hoping they figured it out, after reading many reviews such as this, but I made a very expensive mistake. Please learn from my mistake, buy the proven Insane if you're a Demarini die-hard.
Pros: Great feel and ready to go out of the box.
Cons: None
Pros: Pretty graphics
Cons: Buyer beware - not usable. Having to go through the hassle of a warranty return before even using it. Note that DeMarini requires the purchaser to cover shipping to the warranty center. I expect better quality and service on a $350 product; why not immediately ship a new one to me?
Pros: My 12U daughter felt her 33" Prism was lighter and easier to swing than her 32" Ghost double barrel (end loaded) of the same weight. Increased bat speed should help her catch to faster pitchers. She loves the appearance (most girls do). Still breaking it in, but looks to have good pop in the cage so far.
Cons: None yet, can't rate durability , been using for 3-4 weeks only indoors. Still breaking in, but doesn't quite have the pop (measured audibly only) of the Ghost double barrel.

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.
