Cons:
G Armstrong
Pros: Bat has excellent pop. Awesome sweet spot. Upgraded from the 2012 Vexxum to 2013 M2M -3 BBCOR to get ready for H.S. I have used a Demarini for 6yrs. Will keep using as long as I can.
Cons: NONE
Hawks24
Pros: I previously owned a Marucci Cat 5 squared and that bat was great for me for about a year and a half. The Cat 5 had amazing pop and an awesome sound. Going to this bat I was a little unsure, but the price was great. I must say the ball comes off the bat faster than the Cat 5! This bat has great pop right out of the wrapper, and also doesn't have the "dead" sound that most BBCOR bats have. All around great bat!
Cons: The knob is a little small.
RckyMtnWay
Pros: 14U competitive. It has a great pop, and a nice grip. I have not used it in a game yet, but BP has been nothing but beast mode with solid crushing hits. This is my third DeMarini bat since 6th grade. You can't beat the quality and balance of their bats.
Cons: Not really a CON, but it's known as the patriotic bat on the team.

Luis
Pros: Amazing bat, well balanced and loads of pop. I got the 33, and it does not feel like 30 oz it feels much lighter! First time using it got a single, and 2 triples with!
Cons: So far none, other than everyone is calling it the Capt. America bat.
Mr. Swag
Pros: Bat has swag, great pop, for the price you can't beat it.

Bearsfantc
Pros: Bat has excellent pop to it right out of the wrapper. A very well balanced bat.
Cons: None - Son has been playing with it about a month and is not complaining.
FatherOf2
Pros: Tentatively giving this bat a 4-out-of-five; have only had it for a week. Son has used it in two games so far. Action off bat seems decent.
Cons: Thought this would be just as balanced as last year's model, which we already have. *Slightly* less balanced / more end-loaded than last year's. This may be a preferable for some, but my son plays 14U and is just moving up to BBCOR. My daughter also plays baseball and needs a more balanced (as opposed to end-loaded) bat due to less upper-body strength. But this 2013 model will probably become more and more appropriate for my son as he grows and gets stronger. This is probably a very good bat if your seeking to bridge gap between fast/balanced bat and completely end-loaded one for power.

Colby Scott
Pros: Got this bat last week the day before our first playoff games, used it and hit a homerun my 3rd at bat. It has a great solid feel to it. Perfectly balanced and has just as good pop as the rip-it I was using and its not even broken in yet.
Cons: I prefer just a tad bit more end weight. Sounds like its dead when hit at the bottom half of barrell but doesnt effect the power behind it

Cons: Paint chips
Big Cat
Pros: First of all: Beautiful bat. Shines, colors are defined, and the design is awesome. I'm a home runs and doubles guy and this bat has yet to disappoint me in the first week of using it. I've hit the ball further than I ever have before and the weight of the bat is perfect for anyone with a power swing. Not only can this bat hit deep sky balls, it can hit laser beams as well. It sounds incredible too. MUST BUY for the price.
Cons: Nothing.

Nymets96

Cons: Scuffs really easy, so take a picture of it before you go off to a game..

Cons: none
Bronson
Pros: This is a great bat with tons of pop. Anytime you square up the ball on the barrel you can feel the trampoline effect all the way through the bat. If you're a power hitter, you'll love the raw power of this bat.
Cons: There is a small tear in the tape on my bat, but it is insignificant and does not effect performance whatsoever.
Tyler
Pros: Everything you look for in a great bat plus more.
Cons: Nothing at all.
Josh
Pros: I love this bat. It has great pop. My first tourney with it I went 9 for 12 and got my farthest hit of the year. I would recommend it to all kinds of hitters.

The DeMarini M2M BBCOR: DXM2C Adult Matt Lent player
Pros: It is a very good bat, very easy to swing and feels very light. I play on a 14U team and this bat has some power even if you hit it lightly it goes far. My first at bat with it I got a triple. It has great grip and it sells for a great price. This bat has a big sweet spot and very good against fast pitchers because it is easy to get around.
Cons: The only con is that it vibrates a little bit but not enough to aggravate you.
This bat is Great Andrew_S player
Pros: Im only 5'4" 105lbs and starting my first year of 60 90. This bat is super lightweight and easy to get around. In bp i've hit many balls in the gap that 1 hop the fence. This bat also has a great price.

Great Bat Coach Larson parent
Pros: Bought this for my U13 player to use for tee work and in the cage to help build strength. He is 5'5" and 120lbs. We switched to a drop 5 for his U13 season this year with plans to switch to a BBCOR for U14 to prepare for High School. He can handle the drop 3 without any trouble. Have never swung a BBCOR before and was very impressed with the way the ball explodes of the bat. I have swung it as well and must say it has a nicely balanced feel. Would recommend this to anyone, cant go wrong. Especially for the great price Just Bats has offered on this.
Cons: None
Bad Brendon Kandel player
Pros: looks cool
Cons: i got this bat two years ago and the team and i has had no luck with it at all. my freshman year i was batting .490 for the first 16 games and when i got this bat mid season i finished 0 for 24 my last 6 games. into tjis season im 1 for 8 with it amd 11-13 without it. the rawlings 5150 and the rip it bats have been yhe most productive bbcor bats of all

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.
