Pros: We just bought this bat (30", 21oz) for my twin boys who are playing 10U travel in 2015. This is their first experience with a 2-5/8 barrel as house only allows 2-1/4. They love it and hit the ball consistently and hard. We also bought the same model in the youth (-13, 31", 18oz, 2-1/4" barrel) size for the 2015 house league. We had the 2012 DeMarini Voodoo (29") which was the most popular bat on our house team for the past two seasons. It got LOTs of great use and it still has great pop after two VERY full seasons...great durability. Personally, I think the cons associated with the end-loaded reviews are a bit over-blown. We coach all of the kids on our team to swing the bat hard and I think the end-loading helps the bat move thru the zone with more speed and power. From our family and team experience, this is the best bat on the market for the money.
Cons: None. Heck, it even looks cool!!
Pros: I wasn't sure if I would like the bat because my lasted demarini dented easily. This one is probably the best bat I ever had. Everyone on my high school baseball team loves it.
Cons: No cons
Pros: Big sweet spot and huge pop. Seems to have an improved sweet spot from earlier models. Little vibration. Performs much like the Easton XL1 with a similar end load
Cons: Handle could still be stiffer. This is an "over weight" bat.....know that going in. 31/22 has a true weight of 24 oz.
Pros: This bat is absolutely teriffic! Great POP!! and best of all NO vibration. Never ever stings hands. Great ping sond. Everything you want in a bat. Very pleased!
Cons: None
Pros: We got this bat for 10U LL player that will be moving up to the Intermediate level this fall. After two short practices, about 60 hits, he simply loves this bat. Pop is great and he enjoys the unique ping sound this bat generates. This bat feels great as there isn't any vibration and ball simply jumps off this bat. He complemented on the high quality tape and a good feel of the RCK knob as well. He is using 31/22 and cannot wait for the next chance to go out and hit more. With the end of the current season, his 2 1/4 DeMarini Vexxum will be officially retired, excellent bat as well, but thanks to this 2015 DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD FT it will not be missed for long.
Cons: So far, none.
Pros: DURABLE. GOOD GRIPS. FEELS LIGHT FOR AN END LOADED BAT. NOT TOO TIPPY. GOOD POP. NOT GREAT BUT GOOD. GREAT OVERALL FEEL. LOOKS REALLY COOL. PREFER THIS BAT OVER OLDER VOODOO WITH ALL THE SKULLS AND GRAPHICS OVER KILL.
Cons: LOUDER THAN THE X10 ALLOY OLDER MODELS. STILL NOT AS HOT AS EASTON XL 3 WITH SAME -9 WEIGHT. EASTON HAS THAT EXTRA 10 TO 15 FEET OF LONG BALL NEEDED. MAYBE IT WILL GET HOTTER. ONLY GOT A COUPLE HUNDRED SWINGS ON IT SO FAR.
Pros: so far my son has only used this for batting practice,the ball really explodes off the bat and the sound is incredible,this bat also looks pretty cool
Cons: bad choice of color on the grip!!!
Pros: My son has a CF6 and he used this bat of his friends for three at-bats first deep flyout to 230 fence after next 2 at-bats 2 homers one over the 230 fence that was a little fake fence and the second over the 250 fence that was the actual fence the bat has aton of pop the sweet spot is huge a great bat overall
Cons: none
Pros: If you square up the ball it's going right down third good contact it's going far
Cons: This bat has to hit the ball perfectly or the ball won't jump
Pros: nice feel, good pop, no vibration whatsoever, nice swing weight and a cool paint job
Cons: nothing
Pros: Good pop, big sweetspot. Seems like a great bat for the price. my son likes it better than any easton bat, and weve tried them all.
Cons: a little heavy
Pros: Hot bat right out of the wrapper! Bought the bat for my son. He had never hit a home-run over the fence. The second time he used the Demarini Voodoo Overlord, he knocked one over the centerfield fence. Also hit 3 more off the fence. I highly recommend this bat!!
Cons: None.
Pros: This bat has lots of pop and a great feel to it i play on a 12u travel ball team. No vibration at all. This bat is very popular with my teamates
Cons: The grip is white and gets dirty fast but nothing a $10 lizard skin won't fix
Pros: we are a Demarini family, been through voodoos since 2010. Got CF6, CF7 and vexxums. My son was born with only one hand and has been playing baseball since he was 7, he is now 12 and is always looking for a bat that can perform with out the sting. Its always a uphill battle with him and his batting, thanks to the science and technology of Demarini, they have put confidence into my sons at bats. He tried Eastons and they stink his hand, even when hit square on the sweat spot. The Voddoo FT overlord has taken it to another level, my son will probably never hit a 350 foot bomb but his line drives leave the barrel fast and hard with no sting. hope this review helps.
Cons: none so far
Pros: Good
Cons: None
Pros: feels good, looks good
Cons: not as much pop as CF7 of XL series.cracked in half in composite section of bat . X10 alloy better and not quite as stiff
Pros: We have two of these now, last year's black in a 28", and now this year's candy apple red in a 29". the thing my son has always commented on is that they feel solid and that he seldom ever gets buzzed by a miss-hit. we have great Easton bats in both composite and aluminum and he would give them high marks too. i think the thing that separates the Voodoo Overlord a bit then is the isolation of the hands due to the composite handle. This bat is definitely end weighted, but it's controllable and easy on the hands.
Cons: No real cons. It's a quality bat.
Pros: I coach a high end 12U team and many players used the CF7...until a few boys bought the Overlord FT (including my son). This bat is by far the most popular bat as it has tremendous pop and feels great. Very impressed for the price!
Cons: None to speak of
Pros: My 12 yr old son has been using his teammates 2014 Voodoo Paradox -9 bat for quite sometime. I've notice that he does particularly well with it and not so much with his CF6 -8 which I thought was too balanced for him. I thought the Paradox bat had an amazing pop but this overlord FT far exceeds that. I would say that it is a little more end loaded than the Paradox and the bat does run heavier (2-3oz). If you're looking for an Alloy bat thats end loaded, then look no further. This is the bat for you.
Cons: Not a fan of the white grip. This will turn orange real quick in Georgia.
Pros: my 12yr old son loves it. says that if feels great coming off the bat.
Cons: none
Pros: The ball flies off the bat with a nice easy swing. Easy for the hands to adjust based on the pitch. My son is 12u, 5' tall, and about 100lbs. Plays majors travel ball. His bat speed is around 65mph according to Zepp. He ropes the ball to the wall with this bat.
Cons: Slightly end loaded is not the correct word. Its very much end loaded. My boy cannot last more than 20 pitches in the cage with this bat without getting tired. About 2.5 - 3 oz extra.
Pros: my boy 10u player bought this bat for him for xmas. Right now he's in winter workouts. you know when he's in the batting cage because the crack of the bat rings through the whole place . ball flying hard off that bat . bought this bat on sale. if your looking for a good bat this is it.
Cons: Non
Pros: Good bat for the price. I recommend this bat.
Cons: none yet.
Pros: This bat is great for a stronger player that likes the weight of the bat near the barrel. It has loads of pop and no vibration at all. For smaller players I suggest drop 10 or 11. Over all its a great bat.
Cons: Chips easily
Pros: The vibration and pop are amazing
Cons: None
Pros: My friend on my team has this bat and i got to use it. the pop is incredible. when the ball hits off it, it just goes PING and next thing you know its over the fence.
Cons: Barrel Heavy
Pros: Everything is great the look and feel is great - His favorite color is red and black and my kid named this bat the KATANA because of how great he hits with it! Great quality bat for the price!
Cons: The grip is white - it already has some discoloration on it - from gloves, dirt etc.,
Pros: The pop off the bat is crazy
Cons: none so far
Pros: Great Swing weight. Great Pop.
Cons: White grip.
Pros: Great pop - the ball shoots off this bat. I am an Anderson loyalist and purchased the Flex SL. That bat produces line drives but not much more. This bat takes liners and shoots them into the gaps. Hot out of the wrapper. It's not cheap but it's not $300. It's fairly priced and worth every penny.
Cons: So far nothing. I am waiting to see how long the bat holds up.
Pros: I have a smaller 8 year old that I wanted to set up for next year. He doesnt like a light bat so we went with the 29 inch 20 ounce. His hits sound and go off the bat a lot better. Love this bat. He will be get a few great years out of this bat.
Cons: A little heavy.
Pros: This is by far the best VooDoo bat according to my son. He has swung 2 previous VooDoo models over his 9U and 10U seasons. Loves the end load feel. Has always hit the ball well. Going into 11U we worked on bat speed this past off season. He is now consistently hitting line drives off the center field fence and has hit four HR that cleared about 240'. We are mid way through this season. This bat is for strong kids that are power hitters and can handle the end load. Contact hitters would be advised to find a balanced bat like the Cf or Vexuum series by DeMarini. In three years of swinging VooDoo bats, we have still have not dented one. Last years bat went through over 7000 hits over winter batting practice, league and tournament use with no dents. I would not recommend using your game bat for batting practice. Find a used version of the same bat and use it for BP. Save your game bat for the games. It will perform better and last longer.
Cons: None
Pros: the bat has a lot of pop and hit the ball hard off the barrell
Cons: the bat has a small sweet spot due to a very small barrell and i guess i didnt do my research because i hit singles and doubles which this bat is meant for power hitters.

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.
