Cons:
Pros: My son is 12 y.o., 5'5", 135 lbs and was using a 31" drop 10 until we needed a new bat so we bought this 32" drop 10 two days before a big tournament, We only had one live hitting session before game use. It took two games to get a feel for this bat. In the 6th inning of the second game, he hit a laser over the center fielder's head to knock in the game tying run-- would've been a HR if there were a 250' fence. After that first 3B, line drives and hard hit balls were all that came off this bat.

Pros: nothing
Cons: everything
Pros: Unbelievable Bat. My 10 yr old was struggling at the plate. He was way out in front of every pitch, grounding everything he hit. He was hitting another brand's composite 31"/19 oz. bat. We borrowed a team mate's bat 31"/20 to see if it would help. Unbelievable! He took the first pitch 250 feet over the fence. Doubled in his next at bat and homered the following at bat after hitting a 300 foot foul ball. Guess what's on his Christmas list for next year! This bat has great balance. Much better than the Easton XL1.

Pros: got this for my son after much research on several bats, this is his first composite and I was amazed as we slowly broke the bat in off the T and soft toss how much power the bat produced, great line drive power bat and distance, very pleased as is my 9 yr old
Cons: none
Pros: Fall ball gift for my son. Bought with the help of the online chat people at just bats. Son loves hitting with the bat. Ball pops of the barrel. Light to swing.
Cons: No Cons
Pros: great line drive power, my son says he can hardly feel n e vibration after he hits with it. its a pretty balanced bat.
Cons: not overly impressed. my son used the 2013 voodoo this past spring and 2 me it seemed like the voodoo has better pop.
Pros: Love this bat I highly recommend this bat. The I broke it in the night before my first game and the next day at the game I went 4 for 4 with three tripels and a walk off grand slam love this bat
Cons: none
Pros: Up until this Summer my son has always used the Easton Speed. He was mainly an OBP machine with gap power - lots of doubles and singles. He grew out of the Speed and needed new bat for All Stars/Fall Ball so we got the LECF5 (our first try with Demarini).....26 games and 10 Homers later we wont go back, The bat is incredibly balanced, large sweet spot and amazing pop off the barrel. Sadly he's outgrowing it (it seems to get more jump the more we use it), but I'm pumped for the new CF6 this fall. Oh, and the bat looks sick too!
Cons: None. Really, I don't have one compliant.
Pros: good pop little to no vibration
Cons: i don't own it it's my teammate's
Pros: This bat has some legit pop. It also feels great in your hands and gives you the confidence that the next swing will always be your best.
Cons: feels -12, this doesn't really matter unless you are a much stronger kid
Pros: Once this bat gets broken in it is very hot and has amazing pop. My son loves it and when he connects it's going a long ways.
Cons: Does require a break in period
Pros: Great pop, feels good in the hands, ball really travels! My son is hitting better than he ever has before. Great bat.
Cons: none yet.
Pros: This bat out of wrapper was not hot at all and i was sick over spending the money for it. So we went back to the voodoo that we had and they are great bats too but after about 600-800 balls in cage and practice the cf5 came to life and the voodoo went back to the bag for good. Buy this bat in the rite wieght for your kid and you will not be sorry after you get it broke in. Power hitters will love this bat!
Cons: Lot of hittin to get it goin but worth every hour of cage and tee work
Pros: I hit my first home run with this bat. It has great pop and a great overall feel. I recommend this bat to any youth player with a fast or powerful swing.
Cons: None. Great bat!
Pros: good bat. great pop that is in class with mako and XL1.swings more like XL1. I'm a coach/parent of a youth travel team. In my opinion, buying the best equipment is essential in a players development and confidence at the little league level. my son is 10 and a gap to gap line drive hitter. he's more comfortable with the mako. but if u wanna save $. this is the bat to get hands down. DeMarini surprised me with this bat. but if u have the $... go mako or XL1. Easton topped everyone in 2014. Period!
Cons: little top heavy. Built more for a youth player on the strong side.
Pros: Eleven year old son has tried the Easton XL1, S1 and the Mako. he prefers the Demarini CF5 by far because of its great balance and how easy it makes the hip ritation happen for him.
Cons: cosmetic blemishes easily
Pros: Easy swing control. Explosive power. No stingers. My 10 year old swings a '11 S1, '13 XL1, '13 Sam Bat LL, and this bat. The CF5 LE is the one he commands best. It does not matter what order he practices with, he drives the CF5 with a violent swing that scares me on the mound.
Cons: I'm not expecting the graphics to make it through this season. If it does it's a bonus.
Pros: very balanced bat. the sound when you it hard. no vibration good grip. both power hitter and contact.
Cons: none
Pros: I love this bat it gives alot of pop
Cons: none
Pros: This bat is full of pop, is very even throughout the weight of the bat and is a great fit for me. I batted a .755 average last year in my freshman carrier of high school with this bat and i believe it helped me out greatly.
Cons: Honestly i can only think of the bat vibrating a bit when i hit the ball without my batting gloves on.

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.
