Pros: Awesome!
Cons: none
Pros: Amazing pop and doesn't have any flat hits. Big sweet spot it is unbelievable.
Cons: None
Pros: Better than the old CF5s. Big sweet spot and decent pop.
Cons: Not the best for contact hitters.
Pros: This bat has great pop and hits more like a BESR bat than a BBCOR bat. But the best part is it is the lightest swinging -3 bat I've ever hit with.
Cons: Can get a little dirty but with warm water and a little soap the dirt comes right off.
Pros: This bat is a great bat. The sweet spot is huge with very nice pop.
Cons: None.
Pros: Great pop and great sound Looks amazing Grip is fantastic The weight is very evenly distributed which makes for a light, quick swing
Cons: If you don't swing the bat around fast enough with enough power, the ball is not driven very far you have to hit the ball solidly for the desired effect. I wouldn't recommend this bat for weaker individuals.
Pros: Awesome
Cons: None!
Pros: I hit homeruns with every swing of this bat. It is like none other. Absolutely flawless bat with a very big sweet spot.
Cons: None
Pros: This bat is extremely light and has a LOT of pop.
Cons: none
Pros: The most balance bbcor -3 I've ever swung. Has a very light feel to it, when I first picked it up I thought it was a drop 8. Have had the bat for around 5 months and have no problems with durability and I've only gotten stingers when I hit off the very end of bat so the vibration is good. The one thing about this bat that is great is the pop. I broke the bat in correctly and still the pop of the bat isn't great, it's still above average I would say a 6.5 out of 10 but its not best feature about the bat.
Cons:
Pros: This bat has good pop and a very big sweet spot
Cons:
Pros: The bat is extremely balanced, and feels like a feather in your hands, the graphics are sick as well.
Cons: The bat is so balanced that ALL of the weight is in the hands, there is no barrel mass which translates into very little pop. The barrel is so light that it takes a very long time to get used to. The bat is blown away by every other bbcor bat i've had and because the voodoo's all demarini bbcor i've swung are garbage.

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.
