TJ Johnson TJ Johnson player

awesome zebadiah hall player
Pros: a must have great pop and hasnt fail me yet
Cons: team loves it lol
Love it.... Tiffany player
Pros: Feels super comfy making the swing really smooth. I hit 2 doubles, 1 single, 1 triple and a homerun all in 1 game. I would have never expected such love with a single wall bat. I'll be purchasing another one.
Cons: None.
recent purchase satisfied customer player
Pros: very popular bat w/ my teammates!
Cons: can't think of any
Senior Leaguer Wally player
Pros: I love this bat. I'm a little old guy (65 yrs, 5'6" 170) so not a power hitter. But this bat gets me back to my younger years when I was a solid line drive hitter. Using other bats resulted in occasional liners or grounders, but with this bat I hit nice ropes into the outfield almost every at bat.
Cons: I was hoping to hit for more power with this bat, maybe an occasional HR, but no dice. No bat can make up for lack of strength!
Review Ethan Abbott player
Pros: Bat looks and feels good in the hands.
Cons: I have put as many as 60 to 100 hits on the bat but still has a "ringing sound" when bat strikes ball. Doesn't seem to have the "pop" that I would expect from this bat. I also have a 2-3 year old 26oz Ultimate Weapon that dosen't have these cons.
The short life Jason player
Pros: Feels great in your hands Good pop started at ~10 hits
Cons: The bat had multiple dents between 50-60 hits making it useless for a power team
ultimate weapon juan player
Pros: well for me is ok..
Cons: don't have the pop
BROKE APART INSIDE JUSTIN TUBBS player
Pros: LOOKS NICE, BROKE IN WELL JUST LIKE THE INTERNET SAID WITH TEE, AND SOFT TOSS, THEN LIGHT HITS. PROBABLY OVER 1000 HITS BEFORE FULL POWER, FELT NICE FOR 7 HITS. WAS EXCHANGED FOR 2ND BAT BY JUST BATS VERY QUICKLY.
Cons: 8TH HIT BAT BROKE INSIDE, MAKING VERY LOUD RATTLE NOISE. LOST ALL POP. AFRAID TO USE THE REPLACEMENT BAT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO BREAK IT. HEARD GREAT THINGS ABOUT THIS BAT AND I'M NOT IMPRESSED. HOPING TO SELL AND GET THE WHITE STEEL.
First swings felt great, but then.... Shawn player
Pros: - Balls seemed to jump off bat (more than I thought for a single-walled, aluminum) - Very little vibration - I'm used to swinging end-loaded comp. bats, this bat felt comparable to those - I like the grip and the tapered knob
Cons: - Dented in multiple areas around the sweet spot after ONE batting practice. I was the only player to use it, took about 30 hacks with it. - Paint is chipping away in the areas where the dents occurred - I'm not even going to get to use this in a single game; going back to DeMarini under warranty, too bad.

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.
