Pros: (Posted this by mistake on the youth)...Pros: Wow...son has the overlord and it was so-so. Begged me to try this one. First 10 pitches during practice..went yard on 4 of them. Other once gaps to the outfield and hard hit! Bat is the real deal and improved over the 2013 model.
Cons: Cons: End heavy so go one size lower than normally would. Son swings 31 but got him 30.
Pros: I was very glad that DeMarini finally came out with a drop 10 2 3/4" Voodoo. My son has used a couple of Voodoos over the years in Little League (drop 13) and select baseball (drop 9), and this one doesn't disappoint. The bat has good pop right out of the wrapper. This bat has gone through about 2000 swings over the last 2 weeks and has no damage. We went through a couple of Easton S3 bats last year - those bats are more balanced and have a little more pop, but seem soft and dented too easily.
Cons: This bat is more end loaded than the Easton S3. If you haven't used an end loaded bat, then there will probably be an adjustment period.
Pros: Awsome looks cool
Cons: Nothin
Pros: Every thang
Cons: None
Pros: has amazing pop
Cons: the paint chips really easy
Pros: this bat has a great amount of pop. My son went yard the first tournament he used this bat.
Cons: We have only had the bat for about 4 weeks, but so far no Cons.
Pros: The pop on this thing is unbelievable. No vibration at all. I went from hitting ground balls to line drives and homers. D-Fusion technology is great. It even looks amazing. Simply the best bat on the market.
Cons: None.
Pros: My son has the 2015 S3 and 2015 CF7 composite. I would recommend this bat first for the way it comes off the bat.
Cons: We always change the grip to a Lizard Skins grip.
Pros: Looks nice and has good reviews.... which is why we bought it. The grip on it is better than average, I will give it that.
Cons: This bat doesn't even come close to the amount of pop of our 2013 Easton XL3! Everyone on the team was excited when I bought this, after all of them hit it a couple rounds of BP everyone was disappointed and went back to the bats they had been using. For the reviews that say it increased your kids pop I would love to know what bat they were using before? Maybe we got a dead bat I am not sure, but I am done messing with it going on craigslist, and we are going back to Easton it's not worth extra $$$ for less pop. I noticed when I bought it the 2-3" of plastic covering where the barrel meets the handle, if a kid gets jammed inside this does nothing to help with distance! Hitting off that plastic piece..... I still haven't figured out the logic behind putting it on the bat. Bat is Semi-pro.
Pros: Great bat! Our whole super league team owns one.
Cons: Break in time.
Pros: good looking design, nice grip - and somehow it gets good reviews from most users
Cons: We're big DeMarini fans... my son has used the CF6 and CF7 this past season - great bats! and we're looking to get the CF8 for the 2016 season. I wanted something for him this fall that was a bigger size, thought I'd try the more affordable Voodoo - which has always received great reviews. he hit several balls at 2 separate practice sessions - I pitched to him as well as his head coach... he was hitting well, but the balls were just dying. we had a large sample size and came to the conclusion this bat simply has no pop. he hit other bats during these sessions and the ball was traveling farther...Also, the barrel length was 1/2" to 3/4" shorter than the CF7's - obviously didn't like that.
Pros: The only thing important is my son believing that this bat is the best bat he could use. He believes that. He has several bats for travel ball and he likes the voodoo best. It has great pop, balance and feel. I would recommend. Rather my son would recommend.
Cons: None at this time
Pros: good pop
Cons: idk
Pros: my son loves the overall feel and the way the ball jumps off this bat.
Cons: none.
Pros: Bought this bat in a -5 for my son last year who plays travel ball. He loves the bat...great pop with little vibration. He also has the Easton XL1 in a -5. He definitely prefers the DeMarini. The weight is evenly distributed and offers quick bat speed.
Cons: Bought the bat in June 2015....three weeks ago (April 2016) he's at a session and all of a sudden on impact the bat comes apart with the barrel end flying into the net of the cage. There were several other coaches around giving lessons who actually stopped to take pictures of the bat. Every one of them said they've never seen a bat do that before and especially jot a DeMarini. DeMarini was great about replacing the bat
Pros: Overall a good bat with a lower price point than other "top end" bats.
Cons: None at this time.

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.
