Pros: Great bat, took out of wrapper and it felt great! Usually dont hit two piece bats but I may start!
Cons: none
Pros: Great pop straight out of the wrapper. Instantly felt the difference in the two piece bat, Was hitting towering bombs by the 5th swing.
Cons: None at the moment, will update if a problem comes up.
Pros: I generally am a single to double hitter. never have been known to hit out of the park in games or practice. Hit this bat tonight and it is amazing. Best money I have ever spent.
Cons: None
Pros: Just used the fu dawg for the first time outta the wrapper, and was crushing balls. Nice, big sweet spot, with a ton of pop. Amazing bat. Recommended to anyone looking for power.
Cons: Havent found any yet
Pros: Hits bombs with ease.
Cons: A little bit of break-in period. At about 200 hits, the balls are hot with minimal efforts.
Pros: Literally the best bat I have ever swung. I have about 100 sings on this bad boy and it just keeps getting better. The pop on this thing is unreal. I was torn between this and the 454. I'm not disappointed with my decision at all.
Cons: Graphics are sick so you get a little annoyed with ball marks. Nothings a sponge cant take care of tho =]
Pros: Lot of pop
Cons: Stings the hands out of wrapper if hit anywhere other than the sweet spot
Pros: Great Bat so far 140 hits on it. It smokes the ball pretty nice. Caught myself laughing after i hit a Daryl Strawberry homerun, lightest swing ever and the ball was going over the fence at 70 to 80 feet above the fence. Exactly what i wanted in a bat!
Cons: If your hands get some moisture on them good luck holding on to it. Batting gloves elimanate this problem.
Pros: Just bought this bat gently used and crushed my first bomb on the third try. I love the feel of the end load, this bat explodes with power!
Cons: None.
Pros: This bat is ridiculous hands down. We are using the .44 balls and it's screaming off the bat at games. Hit the new .52 balls in practice and I can't believe how far they're going over the fence. Don't think twice, click buy.
Cons: None what so ever.
Pros: Truly "hot" out of the wrapper. Went yard on my first at bat 5 minutes after removing the wrapper.
Cons: Lost balls, broken windshields, terrified fielders.
Pros: nice end load. very durable. best bat i have ever owned. hit 4 triples and a home run in one game with this bat
Cons: puts my synergy to shame
Pros: Took about 150 to 200 hits to start getting the great pop. It needs more to finish breaking in the non-sweet spot areas but I can tell it is going to be a great bat!
Cons: I'm not sure I'm a fan of the "shell" bats but that us just a preference not a functional error of this bat.
Pros: best bat i ever bought!!!! lots of pop and have no worries the softballs will clear fences with ease...
Cons: none.
Pros: After about 150 swings this bat was super hot. I have been smoking balls over the fence with ease. This bat is hits the ball farther than any bat i have used other than the RD28. But by far the best bat for ASA.
Cons: If used in wet weather the bat will fly out of your hands. The grip is slippery when wet.
Pros: I have about 150 swings on the bat and its starting to come alive!!! I cant wait till it has 500 on it. Im a solid base hitter but was looking for a little hit to hit them out.... Now i have what i need to do so!
Cons: To pretty! Dont want it to get dirty!
Pros:
Cons:
Pros: Amazing bat! The ball just screams when it comes off. If you are looking for a great bat buy this one, don't think about it, buy it.
Cons: None, worth every penny I spent.
Pros: Very easy to swing with a lot of pop right out of the wrapper. Can't wait to get it broke in.
Cons: The paint seems to chip easy.
Pros: When my kid uses this bat he makes men in are league look like little girls. Has great pop , looks sick!
Cons: Feel bad for the balls
Pros: I love this bat
Cons: None
Pros: Don't have to swing hard to let the ball fly. If I need a hard shot or a big home run I reach for this bat. The end load brings the barrel around very smoothly. Don't feel the miss hits and when you hit the ball on the sweet spot you don't feel a thing, just sit back and watch it fly! Minimal break in time, by 15 swings, one home run over 300'! With each swing comes more pop and distance, can't wait to see this thing next year after 500 swings!
Cons: Expected the new ASA standards on this bat to be ridiculous and crushing the ball with all the reviews I've read. Still an amazingly hot bat, much hotter than my last year's Filthy and Freak Fx700. Have to get used to swinging a two piece, doesn't require as much muscle to put one out.
Pros: Buy it. Have it sent over-night. Save your time. Pays for itself instantly, via superior performance. End-loaded weight feels slightly heavier than actual specified weight. Sound is one of a kind.
Cons: Didn't buy it earlier.
Pros: has a ton of pop took 200 swings to break it in used .44 balls.
Cons: stings if you dont hit it in the sweet spot
Pros: Hot as any ASA bat when you really square one up.
Cons: Still prefer Worth Resmondo SBRBBA, it's forgiving and just as hot.
Pros: Great Graphics Nice grip
Cons: break-in time
Pros: Have always swung a balanced bat so this is very comfortable for an end loaded model. Good pendulum rotating through the swing. Hitting line smashes right out of the wrapper so cannot wait until it is broken in.
Cons: Wrap could be a bit more tacky to improve grip
Pros: Really stiff out of the wrapper. Was hitting 290-310 feet today in my first use with it. By the end of the tournament started loosing the 2x4 sound and the ball was really starting to fly. Also feels a lot like my balanced Stadium even though the Fu Dawg is end loaded. Bat looks bad too
Cons: Demarini grip tape is still aweful
Pros: I've always been a decent hitter but strictly singles and doubles. I haven't hit a ball out if the park in a couple if years. The very first time i swung this bat in my league i went deep. I haven't even had the time yet to properly break it in but this bat is truly hot right out of the wrapper. if your looking to add some power to your game this is the bat you need.
Cons: nothing
Pros: The bat is a Beast so far.Can't wait until it fully breaks in.Not usually a homerun hitter but balls been flying out of the park.Can't go wrong with this bat.
Cons: None yet.
Pros: Love the graphics. Weight distribution is good so the swing feels smooth.
Cons: Bought this bat last summer due to the reviews of being "hot out of the wrapper" and "good for the guy who doesn't have a lot of pop", that just wasn't the case. I am getting older, but still have decent HR totals at the end of a season. This bat had a strong 2x4 sound and feel. Used for about 6-8 games with BP in between and ended up going back to my Easton Salvo for the rest of the season. I play in the upper Midwest, so hitting during the off-season means indoors. I have been taking several cuts and have been using both old .44 and new .52 core balls (by recommendation from a teammate) to get it broke in. We will see what this spring/summer brings when I can get outside on a real field to see how broke in it has become.
Pros: First tourney today with the new bat. Absolutely amazing. First game 2 long hr's. Love this bat. Buy it...it's better than my stealth.
Cons: None, buy it now.
Pros: After about 200 hits, bat feels like a trampoline hitting the ball. Sweet spot feels the same 2 inches from the end of the bat as it does at the middle of the barrel giving you an u believable pop. I accidentally hit a pop up fly all the way to the center fielder when I swung at a very low hit. Hit the fence twice on two line drives and both hits left ball marks 2 inches from the end of the bat. the c4 handle makes swinging the bat easy and finally enabled me to finally snap through the ball, sending it further than I have, more consistently. The feedback is great and without sting. the hit is your hit everytime. This bat is so nice, my brother and one of my teammates bought it in 26oz. I have 28oz. the 28 drops bombs and the 26 hits clean line drives. I WISH THEY MADE THIS BAT FOR THE NEW TRIPLE WALL or just kept making it. The endload is SO smooth compared to my Miken Freak 28oz Maxload.
Cons: Demarini did not continue to add this bat to their new line.

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.
