It WAS a great bat...for about 2 months CJBrooks Parent
Pros: Great feel and pop right away.
Cons: Within 2 months of indoor light use (alternating with another bat for practice), it cracked down the center during the first tournament. Going through the warranty process now, but very disappointed in the quality and durability. We have used Easton for years, with no similar issues at all. Wanted to see what the hype about this bat was all about, but will go back to Easton when the replacement DeMarini wears out.
Bat Exzandra Wilson Parent
Pros: My son loves it
Cons: The bat didn’t hold up well . I had to send it back because it busted...we didn’t have it a year.
Nice Bat Walter Parent
Pros: My son is 12 and has only hit with it a couple of times, and so far so good. It definitely has good pop. I hope it gets him through the entire Spring Season.
Cons: none yet
Cracked after a month D Parent
Pros: Kid loved this bat - the feel, pop, and overall swing of the bat.
Cons: No kidding, the bat cracked down the middle after one month of use and one game in a U12 baseball league. Cracked during indoor practice hitting off a machine - not in cold weather and regulation baseballs.
Updated Retooled Zen Review Chris Parent
Pros: The pop was great, it was very comfortable in the hands and allowed for a great swing motion feeling very balanced.
Cons: Durability ended up being the issue with this bat. At just under 5 months of use, with proper break in per the manufactures suggestion and never using the bat in conditions under 60 degrees F. the bat came apart at a tryout over the weekend. My son is not a power hitter by any means, and is only 5 feet tall and 115 lbs. We now await the warranty process. It is a great bat until it comes apart, which at less than 5 months of use is a little scary.
What an 8 year old thinks Nic Boatwright parent
Pros: Does not vibrate bad, good pop and looks cool. Dad.... after about 300 hits, bat still does not out perform the cat7.
Cons: As of now none to mention. just that composite bats are slow to break in.
Sick bat!!!! baseball life parent
Pros: hot bat out of the wrapper with plenty of pop my son said the balance is on point and it isnt too heavy or too light, no stings or vibration in the bat. a remarkable bat and jts not even fully broken in, cant wait to see what it can do when it is.
Cons: none so far!
Cf Zen 2017 Baseball Pops coach
Pros: great pop out of the wrapper.
Cons: barrell cracked within the first week.
great youth bat Caden LeBlanc player
Pros: grip is great, the pop will knock you out,
Cons: none
Great bat Grand Daddy coach
Pros: My boys love these bats! great feel ans pop!
Cons: they do break down pretty quick
TOTAL waste of money disgruntled parent parent
Pros: the feel
Cons: My son "broke it in" like he was supposed to the first day he got it. Bat broke the next day during the first game of the tournament! They sent a replacement, and it broke the next weekend! Way too much money for bats not to last.
Retooled Zen COcoach parent
Pros: After reading other reviews I chose this bat for my son to use for this season. With the insert it dors swing like a drop 8, but it was bought purposley for that reason. We are using it as a transition bat to get to a drop 5. Extra care was taken to get the proper break-in and my son put in roughly 200-250 medium swings between the tee and soft toss before use. It was then used for two regular games and continued to heat up to the point where multiple players on the team are now using it as it has become pretty hot. We did not have any previous experience with Demarini composite bats as I have been a Louisville Slugger person, but so far I have been impressed with what I have seen the bat do.
Cons: Even with the extra care to break in, I have already saw some nicks in the bat that make me a little leary as what to expect from the durability. There have not been any problems through 3 tournaments with multiple players using the bat, but I want to see if it lasts the entire season. At the price I bought it for I will not complain if it doesn't last, but it might hold me back if I had to purchase one at the full cost.
great bat for young boys caden leblanc player
Pros: very balanced
Cons: grip slips when hands are wet
Best Value Out There Dan coach
Pros: My son has wanted a "De Marini" - meaning a USSSA Zen - since he started playing travel. These bats have a huge following - the kids worship them. Well, at this price point, I could get him what he wanted without missing a car payment, and the bat is fantastic. We did the break-in precisely (200 1/2 speed swings, rotating 1/4 turn each time), and the bat is holding up well and hitting bombs. He is a big strong kid and a good hitter, and when he squares it up, the ball is gone in a hurry. Overall, the bat is: - "Hot" - the ball jumps off of it - designed with max contact area - the barrel stays at the max diameter over a large distance - reduces vibration to the hitter's hands - a tremendous value
Cons: Understand these composite bats have a life expectancy - they will all crack given enough swings and under certain environmental conditions. Control what you can. Only use it for games, not practices or BP, don't let teammates borrow it outside of games, you get the idea. It's like anything else - take care of it and it will last longer. It is well balanced, but a little heavy toward the end cap, which can cause weaker kids to develop bad swings where the barrel lags behind the hands. If your player is not on the stronger side, opt for a shorter length, which will make the bat lighter and easier to swing. I see a lot of kids swinging bats that are too big for them. You put a smaller bat in their hands, and they become totally different hitters. It's not everything, but it definitely can make a difference. I'll take bat speed over plate coverage any day. Overall, I don't see a lot of cons here. It's a great bat - but like all composites, it will break eventually.
Great Buy MS parent
Pros: This has been a great bat. My son loves the feel and it is driving the ball much better than his COMBAT. I don't allow him to use it below 60 degrees which I think helps with durability on the composite. They get brittle the colder it it. Price was great and we are very satisfied.
Cons: None
Great Bat for the Money RMK13 player
Pros: Even though this is a retooled bat it seems to have some good "Pop" in it.
Cons: You may get some push back at tournaments about this back being ban but it has the the "R" and an orange end cap to show it has been retooled and it is legal for USSSA play.
dingers but breaks unknown player
Pros: the bat hits bombs and has no sting.
Cons: is breaks really fast
2017 DeMarini CF Zen USSSA -10 Senior League Bas Braden player
Pros: Best bat i'v ever used
Cons: Cost a lot
Demarini quality going down!! Tim Jones. coach
Pros: Good pop
Cons: A lot of money for a throw away bat. I coach a 11U Travel team and we have had 4 Demarini bats break in last 2 months all of the bats were less than 6 months old!! Getting a 2019 with a voucher praying it last a season, if not ill never waste my money again on these products or guide my players parents towards Demarini.
good bat ryker player
Pros: It has a lot of pop and it was fresh right out of the box i love this bat tho
Cons: some of the reviews concern me about the bat snapping and craking
Every kid on the team wants to use this bat! Paul parent
Pros: Great pop! Retooled version is legal for all USSSA play.
Cons: My son is having a hard time getting used to the sound. This bat is not your typical one piece aluminum or alloy.
Heavy Bat Mark parent
Pros: Still has a nice pop and nice feel to it.
Cons: Bat weighs 3 oz over stated weight. Too heavy for my 9-year-old to swing. Demarini Customer service told me it's because of the ceramic sleeve applied to the inside of the bat.
Great bat Bryson player
Pros: This bat is by far the best bat DeMarini has ever made.
Cons: Zero so far
Really a -8 Father of a skinny 12 year old parent
Pros: Great bat with great pop. Not sure on durability yet.
Cons: Plan on this bat weighing at least 2oz more than advertised. I put my boys on the scale and his 30/20 weighed in at 22.17. Still a nice bat, but really a drop 8. Should have probably went with the next size down.
bad bat ty player
Pros: it's got a big sweet spot
Cons: the first day I got it it snapped in have. I would go with marrucci
not worth the money Clay parent
Pros: for a brief period, there was decent pop, but soon after it started cracking.
Cons: no durability. this is the third CF8 in a year. Last years CF8 broke in the cage within two days. once returned, received the illegal CF8 then the retooled one. after 4 tournaments its cracking. my sons buddy had the same experience. appaently these bats are not made for tournament players. ridiculous for the money spent.
love it steven diaz player
Pros: i like on how it feels
Cons: the look
re-tooled Zen Jay coach
Pros: My 12u son loves the feel of the bat. not much vibration.
Cons: Less pop. Bat busted in less than 2 months.
Lot's of Money For a One and Done Dissapointed Parent. parent
Pros: My son loved the performance. Very easy warranty process.
Cons: We purchased a new CF8 for the Elite 32 at Disney last July, unfortunately by the end of the tournament the bat was already cracking. We went through DeMarini's warranty process, and was issued a voucher number for a replacement. In April we ordered a new Re-tooled CF Zen (performance was not as good as the CF8 but still very good) Sadly like the CF8 within a few weeks it cracked. While I understand DeMarini's warranty policies and I'm thankful for the first replacement, I still feel that a company should stand behind their product especially one that fails within the first few weeks. As a guy that works hard for his money I can no longer afford to spend the kind of money that DeMarini charges for bats that are less durable then their competitors
retooled bat JayBird coach
Pros: Is balanced the same as the CF8 (green bat). Not a lot of sting. Seems to have a good sweet spot. Very close to the original Zen but noticeably less pop.
Cons: Noticeably less pop then the CF8 and the illegal Zen. I contacted demarini and was advised they used a "ceramic sleeve" that was inserted into the barrell. This stiffens up the barrel and restricts the "trampoline effect". We hit about 150 baseballs outside and the bat did seem to heat up the more my 12u travel ball son hit with it. He liked it even though the pop was less. He uses a CF8 during his games and had the illegal Zen as a back up. He wanted the retooled bat so we bought a new one with the voucher money.

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.
