spend some more and get a good bat Linda parent
Pros: Light, price
Cons: Off all the bats my daughter has had and she has had many and used many, this is my least favorite bat. It has no pop and 2 models of this bat notoriously broke in half. If you are looking for a very light bat with pop try something else. If you are going to spend $200 spend the extra $100 and get a Xeno or or a high end Demarini. Maybe this model is different and typically you cannot go wrong with a Demarini, the Vendetta has a bad history.
good bat cara west player
Pros: it hit like a pro and also good pop
Cons: my self is 6'6 so it was hard to use it but it broke during a tournament
unbelievable bill parent
Pros: My 12 year old used it in her last 8 games of the season and had 6 triples and a home run in those games. Just amazing how the ball jumps off the bat.

I'm in love with this bat Emma player
Pros: Great bat, i have played softball for 5 years so far and every season I get a new bat, and out of all the seasons I have played I have found that this bat is the best by far! The ball just pops right off (even in the cold it is reliable, no sting!). The bat is so light its incredible, and the graphics are perfection. The first time I hit a ball with it, I was amazed at how good it felt! I recommend this bat for ages 12+
Cons: Absolutely none!
Really Awesome Bat! Erica B. player
Pros: This bat has amazing pop and is very nice... A couple weeks of breaking it in and I hit the ball over the fence twice with it! Really love this bat so far...
Cons: After awhile the design on the barrel of the bat gets a little scuffed, but other than that this is a great bat!
WHAT A DIFFERENCE! The Madster player
Pros: My daughter absolutely loves this bat as well as her coach and other players! She loves the way it feels in her hands! She loves the way the ball pops off the bat! She loves the balance! She loves the look!
Cons: Not one thing!
5 year bat TooTiny player
Pros: I love this bat! I bought this bat used from a friend in 2016, the girl I bought it from is a homerun hitter. She had this bat from 2014 till I bought it. I still use this bat, and the pop off of this bat hasn't changed at all since I've had it. Has not even cracked yet, and this bat has been used for about 5 years now. The bat is well balanced, and when you swing it feels just right. You don't feel like your getting jammed even on an inside pitch. Wonderful bat! I highly recommend, especially for new comers.
Cons: The only real problem I have had with this bat is the handle wrapping, comes apart. It doesn't last with the bat.

We are looking for a bat for our 13 yr old daughter. She had a 2013 demarini vendetta 31" which she hit really well with. we are looking to upgrade her bat. Considering 2014 vendetta 32/20, 2014 Louisville lxt 32/22 or 2015 demarini cf7 dxcff 32/22.

The 2012 and 2013 Vendettas had a noticeably thicker handle at the top of the grip (barrel end of the handle) that tapered toward the knob. Is the 2014 Vendetta the same way or is it a uniform diameter over the length of the grip? TeamGoGo

Just a quick general question as it relates to low temperatures and the use of composite bats. Can this composite be damaged by low bat temperature/Softball temp? If so, where is that line drawn. My daughter is 10 years old and has a somewhat power stroke. Thanks, Tim, Dallas GA. Jessie Taylor, AKA "Tater Tot"
I'm trying to find a bat for my 14 year old who just made the JV team. The coach says she needs a lighter bat because she is a second late and hits a lot of fouls. She currently has a 32 inch 22 ounce but is now 5 foot 6 and 120 pounds. I was trying to find a 33 inch model but lighter weight and all the ones I find say they are for youth players like 10 and 12 year old players. I don't know what to do. Cheyenne
Does this bat require a break-in period? Dynamite
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.
