Bat is Legit. Hawaii's Finest player
Pros: Everything about this bat is great. From the grip, to the pop off the bat. People play shallow because they see a purple bat, but you make them pay.
Cons: None
Even load but still cracked Dan player
Pros: Easy to break in. I like a bat that has an even loaded feel. POP to any direction and light enough to generate lots of POP to opposite field
Cons: Played about 20 games (80-100 swings) and I have a crack in it even though I rotate the bat each at-bat and don't use it at all for BP
ASA Mercy SilverSlugger7 player
Pros: This bat crushes it. This is my girlfriends ASA co-gamer to go with last years model. She loves it and decided to put down her quad wall Phenix and CF3 for this bat.
Cons: It's designed for women, but guys still seem to pick it up.
Nasty HitEmHard player
Pros: This bat is hot and slowly opening up. Hit it right and the ball flies quick off the bat. The feel of this bat is amazing and you wont regret buying one.
Cons: None
1 1 1
Pros: Great hitting bat. Quick and moves the ladies around the bases great.
Cons: The 2013 bats always crack. Great to have a replacement program but why always crack? Is the 2014 gonna crack all the time also? Did yal make it purple so the guys wont use it? Lol. The green was an excellent color.
Unbelievably HOT!!! 808hitter player
Pros: League switched to new ASA balls this season. Old bats did not have the same pop as last season. Notwithstanding the fact that the Mercy is designed for women, went ahead and bought it. This bat is super hot!!! About 20-30 swings and this bat is launching balls. I'm not a power hitter, but ended up launching a home run today. Very balanced feel. Line drives are lasers... I know the "designed for women" is hard to get over, but I'm glad I did and so are my teammates.
Cons: Nothing yet. A lot of guys on other teams are using it and I have not heard of issues yet.
great bat t player
Pros: even though i bought a 26 oz seems like a balanced 27, on the first 10 swings, i hit 3 homeruns over a 320 fence, the bats has great pop out the wrapper, i like grip and the weight are great
Cons: none so far but the womens slow pitch words on the barrel of the bat
Used in softball co-ed... N.O. player
Pros: Male/30. 170lb, 5'9… Guys, don't let the "female" marketing angle dissuaded your from trying this bat. I've used this bat in about 4-5 games now and I'll be picking it up soon. I don't buy bats often, but, I've being playing on my local softball field for about 5-6 years and I'm hitting homers to opposite, dead center, and left field. The sweet spot seems to be bigger than average. I crushed this weekend off the tip. Prior, I hit one out last week and it was shallow off the bat and it still went over. I like this bat a lot. I use the 26oz. I will admit it's an ugly looking bat, the purple and white is designed for females but I'm more interested in performance and this bat seemingly has it. Rated the break-in time a 4/5 but to be fair I am unsure the break in time. The bat I've been using looks pretty new. I'll have to ask the girl how long-- but it looks to have maybe 10-23 games worth of use.
Cons: The design is feminine. Hey female need slow pitch love to. I'd I could find a bat exactly like this in a different color I would prefer that.

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.
