Description
DeMarini has done it again - an insane amount of tech comes together to create their most powerful, lightest-swinging bat - the CF8. Like all of the CF Series designs, this one is a two-piece fully composite model that utilizes the Half & Half technology that helped put DeMarini on the map. But this bat just keeps getting better! In the barrel, you've got their newest Paradox +Plus Composite material. This premier blend of carbon fibers gives you Hot Out of the Wrapper Performance that only continues to improve each swing. The CF Series bats have always been extremely light-swinging, but this year, DeMarini was able to extend the barrel profile for their longest fully-comp sweet spot ever. Another advancement from last year's design lies in the addition of the D-Fusion 2.0 Handle. This upgrade offers a stiffer flex for max energy transfer to the baseball, but it simultaneously reduces any negative vibration - freeing hitters up to swing for the fences every time they step in the box. Anyone who has said "You can't have it all." obviously hasn't swung the DeMarini CF8.
The DeMarini CF8 Youth Baseball Bat: WTDXCFL features a 2 1/4" barrel diameter, -11 length to weight ratio, is Approved for Play in Little League, Babe Ruth, Dixie, Pony, AABC, and USSSA, and it is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty.

cf8 review jason parent
Pros: good pop. it is hot out of wrapper. best demarini bat outbin a while.
Cons: no cons yet.
No pop CH parent
Pros: Good luck previously with Demarini bats - this was a dud. No pop for my son or his teammates. DeMarini did nothing from a customer service standpoint.
Cons: These comments refer to DeMarini Customer service (not Just Bats Customer Service; for returns they refer you to the manufacturer). Called DeMarini and sent bat back. Other coaches, parents confirmed the bat was dead. DeMarini "looked" at the bat said nothing was wrong. Refused to send a replacement. Refused to upgrade. Refused a credit. Agreed to send a lesser value bat (i declined that offer). Refused to transfer me to a supervisor. Gave me an e-mail to send appeal request. Sent old bat back. No response from e-mail. No response from letters sent to DeMarini and Wilson corporate. At that point, I purchased an Easton for my son's playoff, all-star and LL tournament run (he used a teammates bat while DeMarini was being unresponsive). With the Easton, the pop returned. If you end up being dissatisfied, be wary of DeMarini Customer Service.

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.
