Description

New for What happens when science meets psychosis? A chaotic design, chaotic speed, chaotic power... nd total anarchy! The new CF5 uses all new technology to produce a finished product that can do some serious destruction on the diamond! By constructing the CF5 using their new TR3 F.L.O. Composite, DeMarini has successfully created their lightest swinging bat yet. TR3 F.L.O. (which stands for Fused Layer Optimized) is a cutting edge material that is the result of the random and naturally chaotic fusing of carbon fibers. This creates a more compact carbon that enables DeMarini to make the new CF5 lighter and stronger than ever before. The stronger design allows for more even weight distribution, which in turn produces faster bat speeds! This two-piece fully composite design uses Doublewall technology to give it maximum trampoline effect with the largest sweetspot possible! DeMarini's Half and Half two-piece technology makes YOU stronger by silencing feedback on off-center hits and creating the largest, most responsive sweetspot by flexing before impact and recoiling with a burst of ball-launching energy! The CF5 also features a Geo End Cap that's focus is on keeping the barrel stiff and not letting energy escape through the end of the bat. This gives each and every hit an extra blast of energy. DeMarini: Born Hardcore! The CF5 features the USSSA 1.15 BPF stamp and is legal for play in and beyond. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Coach Huber

Pros: We just got this bat today and took it our for BP. I have to say I was quite alarmed at just how much the ball flew of the barrel right out of the wrapper. My son is a 10 year old, big lefty, and we got a 30/20 for him and he was easily covering all of the plate with authority. It was a massive confidence booster instantly. The flex in the handle was also very impressive! It allowed for great trampoline and pop, all while hitting the ball all over the field. He also had little to no "bee's" in his hands from inside pitches. The barrel is perfect sized and sounds fantastic. This composite bat is a BEAST and is a great transtion bat for the kid pitch bats as the grow older and get bigger.

Cons: The bat was pricey, but after reading my comments above, I swear it's worth every penny. Let's just hope it's durable becuase we want to have it for a LONG time!

Alegend

Pros: I thought being a composite bat, it would need to get broken in. My 13 year old son hit his first double of season in his first game with this bat. Bat has had a tremendous effect on his hitting to this point. Expensive? Yes, but to this point has been worth it. Need to see how long this bat can hold up. If your in the market for a great bat that feels light and has great pop with no break in period needed, then this is the one hands down.

Cons: None yet. Have not owned long enough to test durability.

BaseballKid3

Pros: (This is my first night using it) Nice Grip, Very light, Very balanced, Big sweetspot, Nice trampoline effect.(You can feel it) I hit the ball alot more than I usually do with the 2013 CF5. This bat feels more like a part of you than just a piece of metal hitting a ball. I have a -10, 31in. 21oz. Its light so I can bring the bat through the zone alot faster and I even have to wait back on faster pitches that I would have had to swing alot earlier before.

Cons: (This is my first night using it) Not a lot of pop, Hard to break in, doesn't feel right a first. Throughout the practice, I kept say," I don't know if I like this bat or not." From other reviews, I expected to hit the ball hard, and hit the ball hard. Pitches that I hit on the perfect sweet spot did go as far as I thought they would. They may have gone farther with another bat. When I pulled the ball, it felt great, AND went far! I think I would have to use this bat more to like it.

Future Bambino

Pros: My son plays on a 9U team. His bat speed is incredibly fast,so he's able to hit quick grounders for a high average. But he had never hit a home run. So I bought him this bat. Well, this past weekend on his second at bat with the 30" bat he hit a monster home run. Funny thing, the only other home run was a kid on the other team using the same DeMarini CF5 bat! Another good thing about the bat is the other kids see it is 30" and they think its too big so they don't use it. But as others have said, it feels lighter so it only takes a few practice hits to get used to it.

Cons: It is expensive for a young kid. Also, we're very careful not to crack it.

RC_Dad

Pros: This bat swings very balanced, and therefore, feels very light. I got my son (9 years old) a Marucci Team 28'/18 oz. in September. One of his teammates just got the 29"/19 oz. CF5 a few weeks ago. In comparison test, the 29/19 CF5 feels lighter then the 28/18 Marucci Team and has so much more pop. I am going to sell the Marucci and get my son the CF5. In fact, we are totally sold on the CF5 that my older son (13 years old) just purchased 31/23 CF5 with his birthday money.

Cons: Price.

Pros: Son says it feels light. He has always had good bat speed. Broke it in with soft toss machine. He has always used Easton but it looks like we are becoming Demarini fans. Went 4 for 6 in first tournament. His two outs were still good hits. He is 13 and we purchased the 32" 22 oz.

Cons: None right now. Just had it for two weeks. Hope it lasts the year. After reading some of the reviews I am worried about how long it will last. We only expect a composite bat to last one year.

Pros: It is extremely balanced. Unlike any bat out there on the market. Even lighter than the s1. This bat looks and feels sweet. I got the 33', but when it's in you hands, it feels like a 32. Ball really pops off this bat, and you can feel the trampoline effect in every swing. Gives you great feedback and has a huge sweet spot. This bat is a great choice for those on-base hitters who need the speed to get the bat across the zone. No matter what, GET THIS BAT! You won't regret it.

Cons: Doesn't have that loud ping like the alloy bats, but still an awesome bat.

Pros: This bat is crazy good. Almost anyone could hit for power with this bat. No vibration, great pop out of the wrapper. Feels way lighter then any 20 oz. bat. Turns an average contact hitter into a player who put's the ball over the fence every game or 2

Cons: I personaly don't think the grip looks good with the bat, but that's very minor

Great bat Coach Joe coach

Pros: I just ordered my team a second CF5, Last year I ordered my 11's a 30/20 but as you can imagine they have out grown it. I just ordered the 32/22 even though most of the kids will be in BBCOR next year I think it is worth it. The bat is very balanced it has great pop. I feel like it is a good teacher. If you hit the ball right it is very smooth but if it gets in on the hands or the end of the bat you know that as well.

Cons: Not really a con but if you hit the ball off the end or the handle it will get you but sometimes a painful lesson is a good one.

Tyler
I am deciding between the 2012 and 2013 Senior Youth Big Barrel 30/20...Is the 2013 already USSAA approved? I know it has the 1.15 indicator, but does USSAA have to approve the 2013 model still too? I am leaning to this bat for my son (for spring/summer 2012 play), but don't want to have an illegal bat...thx. Steve

Both the DeMarini CF5 and the Marucci Black are great bats and highly recommended. The main difference between the two, is the CF5 has a composite barrel and the Black has an alloy barrel. The CF5 will require a break-in and will probably give you a little more pop than the Black, but they are both great choices.
Jennifer

Jennifer
Hello.. my 9 year old son is 4.6" tall and weight about 70lb. He's moving up next year. I want to get him the 30/20. Do you think it will be to big for him? He had been using the 29/19 for the 2 year now. Thank you Jen
I do not believe that the 30'20" will be too big for your son. If he has been using a 29'19" then the 30 inch should be the correct choice in terms of progression.
Shelbe
which bat would be better to own the 2013 cf5 or the 2013 voodoo? thegreatbambino
Both of these 2013 DeMarini bats are exceptional. The 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX is going to be all composite and balanced making it more geared towards a gap to gap hitter. The 2013 DeMarini Voodoo: DXVDR has an endloaded alloy barrel and a composite handle making it more suitable for a power hitter.

Damon
Is this bat approved for Little League? Bojo
The 2013 DeMarini CF5 is not approved for Little League.
Kara
My son was using a 32" Easton this season and is going into the babe ruth senior league next year. Would an adult bat be alright to buy since they are BBCOR certified? He is 5"2 and 95 pounds has quick bat speed. bob
If he can handle an Adult -3 BBCOR bat, then go for it. Based on his height and weight a 29 or 30 inch BBCOR bat would be recommended.
Tyler
Is the DeMarini CF5 a better choice for a contact hitter,or an Easton Surge? Is the Surge end loaded? trev
Both the 2013 DeMarini CF5 and the Easton Surge are two-piece bats, perfect for a contact hitter. The Surge will feel more end loaded than the CF5.
Kara

The 2013 DeMarini CF5 uses a new composite material and has a more balanced weight distribution than the 2012 Demarini CF5. Here is a link to further compare the two bats. http://www.justbats.com/compare/
Tom
How do I determine if these pictures of bats are big barrels or not? Tom
Senior League bats are big barrel bats. Either 2 5/8 or 2 3/4 in diameter.
Damon
WHAT IS THE NEW TR3 F.L.O. COMPOSITE? CF5ER
By constructing the CF5 using their new TR3 F.L.O. Composite, DeMarini has successfully created their lightest swinging bat yet. TR3 F.L.O. (which stands for Fused Layer Optimized) is a cutting edge material that is the result of the random and naturally chaotic fusing of carbon fibers. This creates a more compact carbon that enables DeMarini to make the new CF5 lighter and stronger than ever before.
Tyler
Is the new DeMarini CF5 fully composite and composite handle and regular barrel? nocker
The 2013 DeMarini CF5 is a two-piece fully composite bat. Composite handle and the aluminum barrel.
Tom
What are the differences from the Easton S1 and the DeMarini CF5 and which one has the lowest moi? nate
The Easton S1 is most comparable to the 2013 model of the CF5 as far as MOI is concerned. The Easton S1 uses IMX composite and the DeMarini CF5 uses TR3 F.L.O. composite. Here is a link to further compare the two bats. http://www.justbats.com/compare/
Tom
My son currently uses a 2-1/4" CF5, 30-19. He wants to try a big barrel. Looking at the 2013 CF5 (-10), or the Louisville Slugger Z1000 (-12). Which do you think would better suit a lead-off/contact-hitter type batter? He's a tad under 5' tall, 75 lbs. Thanks. svk
It's always recommend that a player stick with the same type or brand of bat they have used in the past with the most success. In doing so, the player is much, much more likely to continue to have success at the plate. Thus, the CF5 would be the top recommendation in a 30" model.
Tyler
Is the 2012 CF5 approved for Middle school/Senior League play? Sean
Middle Schools all operate under their own rules. Please see your coach or athletic director with this question.
Tyler
Is the 2013 DeMarini CF5 or 2013 DeMarini Vexxum better? yoyo
The DeMarini CF5 is DeMarini's top of the line bat and has a composite barrel. The DeMarini Vexxum is a good bat but has an alloy barrel so it will have less pop.
Damon
My son is 5'0 and 130 pounds built and quick bat speed. Which size should he use? baseballfever
According to our Bat Coach, a 30" 20oz. DeMarini CF5 would be the ideal length and weight for your son. He could also consider using the 31" 21 oz. since he has above average bat speed.
Tom
Does the 2013 DeMarini CF5 have nice pop out of the wrapper or does it take months to break in? junkballer
The 2013 DeMarini CF5 will require a break-in period of 150-200 swings off of a tee or soft toss. You would start out at about a 50% swing and work your way up from there. Make sure to rotate the bat about a quarter of an inch in between each hit to evenly break in the barrel.
Nick
Does the DeMarini Cf5 feel top heavy or equally balanced? Fre
The 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League bat is a balanced bat.
Tyler
Will this bat be legal to use in 2013 for babe Ruth league? ???
No. The 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League bat is a big barrel composite bat that is illegal in Babe Ruth.
Tyler
Is there some kind of code that we get to go down on the bat price? heyioo

Composite bats like the 2013 DeMarini CF5 will not have a ting sound. Only alloy bats will have the ting sound.
Kara
We live in Chicago and April is still cold. I'm considering this bat for fall ball this season and then regular season next spring. Can my son use this bat when game temp is below 50 degrees? Tom

Tyler
Is the cf5 2013 bbcore and legal in pony league? nate
The 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League bat is not an Adult BBCOR bat. The BBCOR model that is legal for Pony is the 2013 DeMarini CF5 BBCOR: DXCFC Adult.
Tyler
My son is around 5' 8" and 200 pounds with incredible bat speed. Hes wants to use a high performance bat. Does this bat come in a bbcore senior model and what would you recomend the lenth and weight for my son. Nate
There are no Senior League bats that are BBCOR approved. Only Adult bats are eligible for BBCOR certification. The 2013 DeMarini CF5 BBCOR: DXCFC Adult bat is the one you're looking for. Based on his height and weight, a 33" model is recommended.
Tyler
My son is 9. 49" and 53lbs. Currently has Easton S2 -13 28"/15oz. Contact hitter. Looking for the right bat. Either Voodoo or CF5. Which would be best? Dan
If he has had previous success with the Easton S2, which is a two-piece hybrid bat, I would absolutely recommend sticking with a bat similar in design. That would be the DeMarini Voodoo as it is also a two-piece hybrid bat.
Tyler
Is there a 31" version? Matt
Yes, Demarini does make the CF5 (DXCFX) in a 31" 21oz. Unfortunately, as of right now (9/4/2012) we are currently out of stock. Our site is live and will only show the products we have available.
John
I'm looking for a 30" 20 oz. 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League bat. Are they made or just out of stock? BigT
The 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX is made in a 30" 20 oz. size. We expect to have more in stock in about two to three weeks.
Aubrey
My 12 year old is 4'9" and 75 lbs soaking wet. He's got better than average bat speed and is a contact hitter. He's swung a 2 1/4" Easton Omen with success and is moving to a big barrel. Is this the bat for him? Frank
The 2013 DeMarini CF5 would be a very good choice for him. It is more balanced than the Easton Omen, great for increasing bat speed.
Kara
Is the 2013 DeMarini CF5 similar in balance to the Easton S3. Is the only big different composite vs alloy? KK
Both the 2013 DeMarini CF5 and the Easton S3 will both be balanced bats. Beyond the CF5 being composite and the Easton S3 an alloy, the CF5 will be a two-piece bat whereas the S3 will be a one-piece bat.
Damon
Is the MOI on the 2013 Demarini CF5 lower than the Easton S3? Sam
The MOI on the 2013 DeMarini CF5 and the Easton S3 will be similar.
Kara
I'm looking for a balanced bat (youth senior league), for my 12 year old son who will play travel ball this year. He does not like end loaded bats. What would be your top 3 balanced weighted bats? George
The 2013 DeMarini CF5, Easton S1, or the Marucci Cat 5 are some of the most balanced bats on the market.
Tom
Is the big barrel 2013 DeMarini CF5 -10 fully composite? kev
Yes, the 2013 DeMarini CF5 is a two-piece fully composite bat.
Tom
How do I break in this bat? kenney
The 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League will require a break-in period of 150-200 swings off a tee or soft toss. You also need to rotate the barrel a quarter of an inch to break-in the composite evenly.
Aubrey
Im 12yrs old and im 5ft 7in. Last year i used the 2012 Easton S3 and really liked it, but next year I'd really like to try a fully composite bat so i thought the Demarini cf5 would be a good choice. Would it??? big guns
Yes. The 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX is a good choice as it has great pop.
Tyler
im a 6 foot 2 250 pound 13 year old and it is my first year in fedball is this a good bat for it? bigbomber32
A -10 bat like the 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX is too small for a player of your age and size. I -5 bat would be a better option.
Tyler
I'm looking for an end loaded bat (youth senior league), for my 12 year old son. What would be your top 3 end loaded bats? Also, he's 5'4" & 155 pounds. Would you recommend a 31" or 32" bat? He's pretty strong. JB
A 32" would be the suggested length for your son. The weight would depend on your sons bat speed. The DeMarini Voodoo, Easton XL1, or the Louisville Slugger EXOGRID3 would be some of the highest performing end loaded bats.
Tom
I am 4'4" and 71 pounds and I have very fast bat speeds. Would the CF5 be a good choice for me? kenny
The 2013 DeMarini CF5 would be an excellent choice. It has a very light swing weight and it is also very balanced. It would be a great fit.
Nick
Is this bat BBCOR certified? dylan
No, the Demarini CF5 senior league model is not BBCOR certified. BBCOR models will be listed as "Adult" and will only be available in a -3 drop. Here is the link for the CF5 BBCOR: http://www.justbats.com/product/2013-demarini-cf5-bbcor--dxcfc-adult/15465/
John
We play in cold weather from time to time. Will this crack the CF5? bandit
Only if you over-use it in temperatures below 55 degrees. You just need to make sure you limit how much it is used in these temperatures and do not let your bat be used by other players on the team.
Tyler
my son recently swung the Vexxum DXVXR and liked it however prefers a 2 piece full composite bat. is the CF5 the best option? is it more balanced than the Vexxum? or are there other bats to consider? Aaron
If you're son has previously use DeMarini, and prefers a two-piece composite bat, then the DeMarini CF5 would be the best choice for your son.
Tyler
I am looking for a good big barrel bat for my 12 year old son. He is small for his age and I am looking for a very balanced bat. I've read the CF5 and Easton S1 are well balanced. Do you think these would be a good fit? I'm open to any other suggestions as well. Thanks. Kevin7273
The 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX and the 2013 Easton S1 are very balanced and would be excellent choices for a smaller player.
Kara
Does the 2013 DeMarinin CF5 Senior League come in a 33 inch? My son will be 12 soon. He is 5'6'' and 150-155 pounds. From the chart on your website, he should be swinging a 33". He has a lot of power and good bat speed. CR
Unfortunately the 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League does not come in a 33". Typically you will only find 33" Senior League bats in -5 length to weight ratios.
John
Do you know when the 2014 line will be released? baseball nut
Unfortunately, at this time we just do not have that information. If you would like to call DeMarini here is their phone number: 800-937-2287.
Brandon
Is this bat certified and marked BBCOR.50? My son goes into Babe Ruth this year and wants this bat but I don't want to buy a bat and its not legal per the Babe Ruth League regulations. Randy
No. The 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX is not BBCOR certified. Only Adult bats are eligible for BBCOR certification. This is not an Adult bat.
Tyler
My 12 year old is currently using the cf5 2 1/4 30/19. Would the 31/21 new CF5 big barrel be a problem for him or should we go with the 30/20 big barrel? Greg
Your son should have no problem swinging a 31" 21oz DeMarini CF5. Over the next couple years he is going to gradually increase in weight until he gets to high school, so it is better to start him off now.
Noah
There are two differing answers as to whether or not this bat is approved for Babe Ruth. Can you please clarify? Not sure I want to invest in a bat that my 11 1/2 year old can only use for one year. con
The Cal Ripken baseball Division only allows 2 1/4 inch barrels. Babe Ruth ages 13-15 division only allows composite bats if they are BBCOR certified. The 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League will not be legal in either of these two divisions.
Kara
My son will be playing in a Juniors Division this year. According to LL website, It says the bat can be no more than 2 5/8" and must meet BBCOR standards and since it is not the Seniors division can have a drop more than -3. This bat (and others) seem to have the USSSA stamp. I'm confused with the difference of BBCOR and USSSA stamps as it relates to the Junior Division. Can you explain difference? Jim
The only bats that are eligible for BBCOR certification are Adult -3 bats. No other bat will carry a BBCOR stamp. USSSA stamps are only featured on Youth Small Barrel and Youth Big Barrel baseball bats, and Adult bats are not eligible for USSSA stamps.
Tyler
Does the 2013 CF5 DXCFX come in a 28/18? Doug
The 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League bat is not manufactured in a 28" 18 oz. model.
Aubrey
I Bought this bat for my son recently and he has yet to hit with it. I noticed a rattle in the handle area, as if something loose is floating around inside the handle. Will this affect the performance of this bat? 18
It will not affect the integrity or the performance of the bat. If it is something that is bothering you, here is the DeMarini Warranty phone line: 800-937-2287. You can call them and have your receipt ready and they can set up your replacement. If you have any other questions about your 2013 CF5 please let us know.
Brandon
Hi... my son is 5'2" and 100 lbs. He used a 2011 31/18 Voodoo with moderate success last season. He played on a Bronco rules travel team last year and they be moving to Pony this year. I believe the bat (being end loaded) was just slightly too big/unbalanced for him last season. My question is, based on his height/weight and info provided, do feel that the 30/20 or 31/21 would be a better fit for him given the better balance of this bat.... Thanks. Mac
The 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League is more balanced than the Voodoo, so we would recommend the 31" 21 oz.
Kara
Does the -8 have a bigger barrel diameter than the -10 in regards to the 2013 DeMarini CF5? George
The 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League bat in both the -8 and -10 will have a barrel diameter of 2 5/8".
Brandon
Hi, I'm trying to decide between the -8 and -10 31" CF5 Senior League for my 13 yo son. What factors should I consider in trying to decide the drop? As a 12 yo he used the Little League approved 2011 CF4 31" and had 15 HRs in 21 games so he's a bit of a power hitter. Bam
A -5 to -8 bat is most common for a 13 year old player (especially if they are a power hitter). At the High School level, he will have to use a -3 bat, so the closer you get to that size, the better success he'll have when transitioning to a -3 Adult bat. What you want to look at is: 1)The length and weight of his current bat, 2)His swing speed with that size, 3)His bat control with size. If he had good swing speed and good bat control with his 31" 20 oz. CF4, then a move up to a 31" -8 bat would be recommended and better for him before he transitions to a -3 bat in the coming years.
Tyler
I asked question below on drop 8 vs. drop 10 for barrel size. I meant the sweet spot. Is the drop 8 bigger or longer than the drop 10? George
The sweet spot is the same for the -8 and the -10.
Kara
Will the yellow dimpled balls used in most batting cages damage this bat? Justin
We do not recommend using composite bats such as the 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League in batting cages that use yellow dimpled balls. They are very dense and can damage the composite materials.

Wondering if CF5 continues to be legal in Pony for 2013? Pony rulebook states something along the line of bats being legal if they are "round." I ask this because the head of the bat is flat vs round. Baseball Dad
The 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League is legal in PONY for 2013. The only "flat" bats are training bats.The "round" is referring to the barrel of the bat.
Kara
I know it is just a baseball bat, but does the CF5 chip too easily for the price? Or is that normal? ryan
Concerning the 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League bat, or any other bat for that matter, graphics/paint chipping off is normal wear and tear.
Marcus
How does the CF5 DXCFX -10 compare to the Louisville Slugger SL13AXL - 10? Which is more balanced, which has a bigger sweet spot, and which has more pop? Thanks 99
The 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League is going to be slightly more balanced than the 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Attack XL: SL13AXL Senior bat. The TPX Attack has a 2 3/4 in barrel compared to the 2 5/8 on the CF5. They are going to have very similar pop and performance.
Frank
Is the 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League legal for use in Little League Junior? V
The 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League is not legal in Little League Junior Division. All composite bats must be BBCOR certified in the Junior Division.
Kara
Are there any problems with the 2013 CF5 composite cracking? Bandit
I have not heard of any issues on the 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League bat. If this bat is not broken-in correctly you could see issues with cracking on the barrel. The correct way to break-it in is by taking 100-200 swings from soft toss or hitting off of a batting tee. Be sure and rotate the barrel around so the entire barrel and composite fibers get broken-in.

For a 5'4" 10U major travel ball-only player who is 115 pounds would you recommend 31/23 or 31/21? I saw some say it feels really light and I am also looking for durability. Mike MVP dad
That all depends on the weight of his current bat, and his swing speed and bat control. A player should not move down in weight if they had good swing speed and bat control with their previous bat, and it's typically recommended they move up 1-3 oz. with each new bat.
Tyler
I'm looking for a big barrel bat for my 12 year old for AAU. I am looking at the CF5 and the Voodoo. In Little League, he uses a COMbat B4 minus 10. Any opinions? Bob m
It's always recommend that a player stick with the same type of bat they have used in the past with the most success. In doing so, the player is much, much more likely to have continued success at the plate. Thus, the CF5 would be recommended over the Voodoo as the CF5 is 100% composite like the COMBAT B4.
Tyler
I have a 9 year old son and he has been swinging a 30/20 Easton XL1 his batting coach told me he needs a bigger bat. He used a 32/22 DeMarini F2 older model bat but coach said to get one that size he was crushing it. What are your thoughts? Thanks for the info I'm thinking of getting the CF5. bigjoedeezy
His coach would know best and it's hard for us to make an exact size recommendation without being able to see and analyze the player's swing. I can say that it is common and recommended a player move up 1-3 oz. in weight with each new bat.
Tyler
Is this bat legal for 2013 Senior League play? Someone told me that the bats for Senior League must be BBCOR approved. Just confused. Johnboy
Little League Seniors Division requires all bats to be BBCOR certified. The 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League is not legal in your league.

Is this bat legal for the Dixie Youth Ozone League? bubba

Kara
My son is 11, 5' 1" tall, 95 lbs. He's not the strongest, but average strength and good at baseball. Should I get the 30" 20 oz. or 31" 21 oz. Last year he was using the SL12VXL 29" 19.5 oz., but it just looks so small on him now. Thanks! Jennifer
The 31" 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League bat is the recommended length.
Brandon
Is my DeMarini CFX12 (-10 drop) bat legal in Babe Ruth play? willy
No. The 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX is illegal in Babe Ruth play. If you want to use a full composite bat in Babe Ruth, it must be an Adult -3 BBCOR certified bat.
Tyler
Based on your bat coach, and other sites that provide bat sizing, my son is at the top level for a 30" bat. He is 4'11" and is 90 lbs. Should I just go with a 31/21, or should I stick with the 30/20 to guarantee he can handle the bat? Mark
I would recommend the 31" 21 oz. model in the 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League bat if you want to get a couple years of use from it.
Aubrey
Is this bat legal for South Carolina high school baseball? T
The 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League is not a BBCOR certified bat, so it is not legal for high school play. The 2013 DeMarini CF5 BBCOR: DXCFC Adult is legal for high school play.
Marcus
I am moving up to Pony League, and I was wondering what size bat I should use? I am 5' 8" 170 lbs. I was know i should at least get the 32" 22 oz., or should i go a bit bigger? AK

Marcus
My son is using a DeMarini CF5 29" 19 oz. He is 4'11" and 73 lbs. He has trouble getting the bat around quickly and the DeMarini CF5 has worked very well for him. He will have to go to a -5 drop next season. What is comparable to the CF5 with a -5 drop? A Mom
Since the 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League does not come in the -5, I would go with the Marucci Black 2 or the new 2014 DeMarini Vexxum. Both are easy swinging, very balanced bats just like the DeMarini CF5's are.
Chad M.
I need help deciding on one of three bats for my 12-year old. He is small and a contact hitter that is looking to add power, but can't be bogged down with a heavy bat. In the 30" 20 oz, -10 category, it has come down to these three. The DeMarini CF5, the Easton S1 and the Marucci Elite. Please advise me on best bat for contact hitter. Were looking for a bigger sweet spot but not a heavy feel heavy for a little guy that will compromise swing speed. Michael
I would go with the 2013 DeMarini CF5 Senior League. It has an insanely balance swing to it and it's TR3 F.L.O composite material is known to hot right our of the wrapper. Since it is so light feeling it would work out great.
Chad M.
My son is 4'8" and weighs 95 lbs. He is almost 10. Do you have any recommendations on what size bat I should get? Gabbyrae
With the height and weight given, we suggest that you purchase a 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League is a 30" 20 oz.
Chad M.
Is it a light bat for a 12 year old 75 pounds? Johnny baseball
Bat sizing comes down to the height and weight of the player, as well as the size of their current bat, strength, and swing speed. For bat sizing, I recommend our Bat Coach. It's a great tool. http://www.justbats.com/bat-coach/
Tyler
Is there a difference between 2013 DeMarini CF5 Youth bat DXCFL or Senior League bat DXCFX? Do they perform the same? Shorty
The 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League and the 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFL Youth use the same composite material. They will perform similar to each other.
Kara
I'm 12 yr old power hitter. What would be the best bat that is drop 9 or 10? lj
The 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League is a balanced two-piece bat. For a power hitter we recommend an end loaded bat like the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo: DXVDR Senior League.

Is this bat legal for Babe Ruth League? If not which DeMarini bat is? I am looking for a 31/21. Bomber
The 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League bat would not be approved for any division of the Babe Ruth league. It has a 2 5/8" barrel diameter, composite barrel, and is not BBCOR certified. For a balanced bat with an alloy barrel, check out the Vexxum from DeMarini.
Mac
How is a two-piece construction bat different from a one-piece constructed bat and why are these differences important. sp
The main difference between one-piece bats and two-piece bats is that one-piece models are developed as one continuous piece of metal as opposed to being pieces bonded together. Two-piece models are created in two sections, a barrel and a handle, and then those two pieces are bonded together. The main purpose and advantage for a two piece bat is to reduce vibration for the batter's hands and to make the bat's sweetspot larger. The sweetspot is an area on the barrel of a bat where it's ideal to hit the ball to make it travel the farthest. Two-piece models also give you the ability to choose between a more flexible handle or a stiff, more rigid handle. With a one-piece model, all of the handles will be rigid and more stiff. The two-piece models also give players the ability to mix one part alloy with one part composite, another option that is not available for one-piece users.
Noah
I had a Rawlings xtreme composite bat and it cracked, is this bat less likely to crack? Lakeville north
The 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League has been a pretty durable bat, so you should not run into any durability issues.

My son is 5'3" and 90 pounds. He's a contact hitter, uses an Easton S1 30" 18 oz. -12 drop for Little League. He plays on 13U travel team. We are looking for a 2 5/8 big barrel. What do you recommend? scott
The 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League is a great option. It is a two-piece composite bat like the Easton S1 and will be similar in performance and feel.
Kara
We play in the north. A lot of times early in the season practice and games are in the 40's & 50's. Does this cause the composite bats to break and crack? EG
Composite bats like the DeMarini CF6 can be susceptible to breaking under 55 degrees.
Damon
My son is almost 12 and is 5'3" and 105 lbs. He used a 31" 22 oz. Voodoo last season and sometimes a 31" 21 oz. Vexxum. Can you please compare the CF5 to those? Would 32" be too long for his size? Don
The 2012 DeMarini Voodoo and the 2012 DeMarini Vexxum are slightly end loaded compared to the 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League which is balanced. The DeMarini CF5 is best designed for a contact hitter that needs to increase their bat speed. Based on his height and weight we recommend a 31" 21 oz. bat.
Kara
My son currently uses the 2013 CF5 30" 19 oz. and loves it. He is 4' 10" and 83 lbs. What advantage is there going with the CF5 big barrel (-10). What size would you recommend? Carter
The big barrel 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League will offer a larger barrel, which offers a larger surface to make contact with the ball.

Noah
When will the CF6 be out? How much money will it cost? Steeeeve
We don't have an exact release date for the CF6 baseball model. I would assume it's being released in September. It should retail for around the same price as the other CF5 models. DeMarini hasn't released much information about it.
Mac
I just got this bat and I am thinking about using it in fall ball and the normal season. Do you think it will last long enough to do this? ckomm
Yes, the 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League will last through fall ball and regular season.
Noah
My son is 13 years old 5' tall and 98lbs. He is our lead off hitter and is great at hitting gap shots just looking for more pop. Not sure if I should get the 31" 21 oz. or the 31" 23 oz. Now he swings a 30"18 oz. Easton and is ready for a longer bat. Bowen
Based on his height and weight and is current bat, we recommend a 31" 21 oz. 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League.
Kara
What is the difference between this and the 2014 CF6 -10? Ben
The DeMarini CF6 is going to feature Paradox composite which is supposed to be more durable. Also, it features a D-Fusion handle which helps to eliminate vibration.
Tori
Will this bat be approved for Babe Ruth Baseball? Unknown
The 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League is going to be legal for Babe Ruth 13-15. Any league Major 70 and under will require a 2 1/4'' barrel.
Tori
What is the difference, besides price, between the DeMarini DXCFX-LE and the DXCFX? Lisa
The 2013 DeMarini CF5: DXCFX Senior League and the 2013 DeMarini CF5 LE: DXCFX-LE Senior League are identical bats. The only difference is the color.
Jason
Does this bat have BBCOR on it? joeyboy_1
The DeMarini CF5 (DXCFX) Senior League does not have the BBCOR stamp. Only bats with a drop of -3 will have the BBCOR stamp.
Aaron
Is this legal for Babe Ruth this year? JJH-Ball
No. The Senior League model of the DeMarini CF5 (DXCFX) would not adhere to current Babe Ruth bat rules. If the player is in the 13-15 or 16-18 year old division, the model of the CF5 you would want to look for is the DeMarini CF5 BBCOR (DXCFC). This is because all composite barrel designs in this age range are required to be BBCOR certified. If the player is in the Cal Ripken division (6-12 years old) they would want to look at the DeMarini CF5 (DXCFL) youth bat. This would feature the legal 2 1/4 inch barrel.
Patrick
Does this bat come in a 31", 2 3/4" barrel? Team Mom
Unfortunately, no. None of the DeMarini CF5 (DXCFX) Senior League or CF6 bats were produced with a barrel diameter larger than 2 3/4".
Mac
Does this have an alloy barrel? bunz
The DeMarini CF5 (DXCFX) Senior League has a two-piece fully composite design and features a composite barrel.
Jason
Does this bat have a USSSA stamp on it? Also, I'm 13 years old, is this bat too heavy? baconboy3
Based on your approximate age, the size we would suggest would be 31 inches. However, moving up to a 32 inch would also be a possibility as well. The DeMarini CF5: (DXCFX) will have the 1.15 BPF certification stamp making it eligible for play in USSSA.
Merritt
Could this be used in Babe Ruth? matty baseball
The DeMarini CF5 (DXCFX) would only be legal for Babe Ruth play in age groups 13+.
Kelby
I have hit probably 250 baseballs, but this bat still sounds like a wood bat. What is wrong with it? titan2
The DeMarini CF5: (DXCFX) incorporates TR3 F.L.O composite, and sometimes it can take a little while for the composite fibers to loosen up. I would give it a little bit more time, however, this model does come with a twelve month manufacturer's warranty. Therefore, if the bat continues to have problems, you would be able to send it back to DeMarini for a replacement.
Merritt
Does it have pop like the gold CF5? Rangersbaseball
The DeMarini CF5 (DXCFX) will be extremely similar in performance to the gold 2012 DeMarini CF5 (DXCFX).
Patrick
Where might I find a 32" 27 oz.? I have looked everywhere. hello
The CF5 actually wasn't produced in the -5 length to weight ratio. This -10 DeMarini CF5 Senior League Baseball Bat (DXCFX) and the -8 (DXCFR) were the two Senior League models produced. This model is also a previous model from two years ago, so availability is likely limited for any size.

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.
