Ronny K.
Pros: Great bat, with great pop and a fairly big sweetspot. Very well balanced, and impressive sound. Overall one of the best -5 bats I've seen and used so far.
Cons: The paint job comes of quite easily and it takes a couple of hits for the bat to "break-in"
big boy
Pros: This bat has a exellent pop and a huge sweet spot. The weight is disputed throughout the bat very well. I am currently in a Babe Ruth league and i get a hit every game. it is great for power hitters. it has good grip and there is no sting. Overall, I would recomend this bat to any player in a highe league and it is a good price.
Cons: Once you start to hit more with the bat more often it leaves HUGE scuff marks. The paint also chips very easily so i do not recomend hitting it off of metal spikes. Overall, great bat for a great price
grand salamy
Pros: I am seeing this bat online and it looks amazing!!! I am going to buy this bat. I hope that you will hit a homerun and smash it!!!!
Cons: I am sure it has no problems!!!!

star player in the buiding
Pros: my friend got the bat not that long ago. I've used it 5 times and got 5 great hits with it especially against the best pitchers in our league. Great bat with great pop right out of the box.
Cons: For some kids, it might be a little to heavy. I use my lighter bat against the faster pitchers in our league, but if u want to tee off of slower pitching, use this demarini.
El Deano
Pros: This is a good looking bat. My son loves it and so do all of his teammates.
Cons: Poor paint job. On my son's third hit, a chip of paint came off the barrel of the bat. He was so in love with the bat that he refused to let me send it back. Now, after 3 weeks of games and practices, there are multiple nicks that are fairly large and issues where the paint is just chipping off. It makes me sad to see my son save up his money to purchase a bat that is put together so poorly. Shame on Demarini for duping my son out of his money. I'm going to do whatever it takes for my son to try a different manufacturer next time he decides to make a bat purchase.
Brandon

Pros: I have had this bat for two years and it's still crazy good. Nice sound when u hit it on the barrel, good sweet spot. I had a game today and hit a ball 300 feet with it and I'm not a big power hitter. I have some pop though. One of the better bats out there, nice pop. I recommend this bat for anybody, power or contact hitter. Very good 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.
