Pros: Great bat
Cons: color
Pros: Perfect balance- 2 Doubles against the fence the first day out. Hot looking bat as well !
Cons: Everyone wants to borrow it-
Pros: Bat is well balanced cant wait to break in.
Cons: Price
Pros: Love the CF5. Bought this one the week of a tournament and hit every day to get it broke in. Probably only halfway broke in but hit like crazy in the weekend tournament. Line drives all over the field. Fast bat...his hands looked very fast and he was able to react to all kinds of pitching. Very hot looking bat, and the CF5 is the best bat available....for at least the last couple of years. This bat carries on the expectation. Extremely well balanced, nice sweet spot, hot right out of the wrapper. Durable. Great bat. Get it.
Cons: Everyone wants to try to hit it.
Pros: It is amazing. I hit a home run in first at bat. It's very balanced and has good flex and amazing pop. The best DeMarini bat. I think I've had all of the DeMarini CF5 bats and this is the best one. So anyone wanting a bat with amazing pop and a cool design get this one.
Cons: None yet, but remember to get this bat.
Pros: Great bat. It has amazing pop and the ball just flies. Not much of a power hitter until I got this bat.
Cons: None.
Pros:
Cons:
Pros: the bat comes hot right out of the wrapper! my boy loves it and the kids on his team uses it. plays 9u travel and they hit bombs with it! and the design and color is amazing! just pops!
Cons: nothing
Pros: Great Pop and balance!!!!!
Cons: Price but you get what you pay for.
Pros: I just bought my son the CF5 LE and so far from batting practice I can tell a big difference in the way the ball comes off the bat. Alot of pop. My son would have to wear batting gloves with other bats but said the grip is awesome and the bat doesnt have the vibration his other bats have had. This weekend 9-7-13 will be the first test in a game when we play our tournament. We are both excited to see how he does with his new CF5.
Cons: None so far
Pros: Nice grip.
Cons: My son's Easton S1 was an awesome bat but it started to go flat after two seasons, so I started researching new bats. The reviews and countless people said this new Demarini CF5 is the hottest and best bat on the market hands down. My son played in a tourney in July in Omaha and the ball never left the infield. I have given it a couple months thinking it was not broken-in, but finally said enough is enough. Sent it back to DeMarini and they just had it field tested. They said there is nothing wrong with the bat, it checked out OK, and is up to their standards. I am extremely discouraged they didn't find anything wrong. I know my son's ability and he has been underwhelming at the plate since he has used this bat. I have two more sons moving up from the ranks and none of them will be using DeMarini products.
Pros: lots of pop yesterday i borrowed one of these bats and hit two homers! recommend this bat to anyone. I am eleven years old and love this bat.
Cons: none
Pros: I borrowed one of these and hit out and was bouncing them off the fence! Love this bat and im planning to buy one. reccoment this cf5 to anyone!
Cons: none at all
Pros: Weight balanced for a faster swing. My son borrowed this bat after finding a dent in his at a game. He hit back to back home runs, and it I'd never seen it look so effortless! Needless to say, we ordered his two days later!
Cons: none
Pros: This bat is light and is as nice as it looks in the picture
Cons: Limited edition
Pros: great pop no vibration great feel
Cons: none
Pros: Sweet design with a well balanced barrel and solid grip. Lots of pop after only half a week of breaking it in.
Cons: Waiting for it to arrive!
Pros: great pop, beautiful sound & color, feels durable & the best of all VERY WELL BALANCED!!! I was a little hesitant at first cause of the weight (19oz) as my 9yr old is the not the biggest/strongest in the block. But once he recieved the bat and took a swing, he knew right away THATS IT!!! THANKS DEMARINE & JUST BATS!!!!
Cons: none!!!
Pros: My 10 yo 4'5" son has used 2012 voodoo, 2013 easton S1, and Louisville catalyst during the last 2 seasons. Hes not a big kid at all, but he has had the best results with the voodoo even though hes only a contact hitter. This season we tried the mako, CF6 and Cf5 at a demo house. Mako seems overrated to me, and the feel of it is a bit weird. Didnt notice any difference with the Cf6 & cf5, so I got him the 30/20 CF5 and the difference is huge! Hes hitting waaay more dbls, triples, and finally HRS! This is a well balanced bat, but not too balanced. AND I got it for half the price of the original $299! What a steal!
Cons: None breaking in composites is kinda drag but to be expected and the bat IS fairly hot out of the wrapper. And NEVER use the bat in cold weather or in batting cages.
Pros: Awesome bat
Cons: I don't have it
Pros: This is a great composite bat if you are looking to hit lots of hard base hits. It is not a home run club. Demerini Voodoo's are a more appropriate bat for those kinds of swings. Don't get me wrong, the bat pops just as well as any other bat but if you're looking to go yard you will want to select an n-loaded bat instead of a balanced one. Over all the CF5 is balanced, comfortable, pops well, and has a sweet look to it. I'd recommend this bat to any baseball player!
Cons: None unless you prefer an n-loaded bat.
Pros: I used my friends cf5 and killed the ball at a tournaments
Cons: Wish it was a -12
Pros: - lots of power - very durable - awesome grip - doesn't hurt your hands when jammed - feels light One time I half swung and it went all the way to left field
Cons: - everyone wants to borrow it
Pros: None
Cons: I have had this bat now for about half a year and am very disappointed. There is not much pop awful grip! I whipped the grip at my second at bat! Also the paint chips very easy. My third at bat I broke all of the paint off the bat... Overall very disappointed in this bat

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.
