BigBoyRoy
Pros: This bat is one of the best bats that I ever had. I had the CF5 and this is way better. Never try Easton they are bad. I also hit it 320 feet my first hit with it. The voodoo is the best bat on the market I would say that is bat is for power hitters or strong hitters.
Cons:

Hard hitter
Pros: Really got good hits off this bat.

Does it perform like the 2012 Voodoo? Spartan13
I noticed that the features listed a "slight endload" whereas the 2012 does not say that in it's features list. Will the 2013 Voodoo be a heavier feel than the 2012? Da Dad
On Demarini's website it says that the handle is made of steel. Will steel perform more like composite or alloy? BronxBomber14

Would you say a 2013 Voodoo or a Marucci CAT 5. Thanks RyanBaseball
Is the USSSA BPF stamp painted on or is it put on by laser? We've had issue with the painted stamp smudging on 2012 CF5 and needing to be returned to Demarini. Don't want that hassle again for the money spent. Thanks. Paul R

Which is better the Easton XL1 -5 or DeMarini Voodoo - 5? cb
Is this bat Little League approved? David831
I am moving my son up to drop 5 in prep for ms ball. He currently is swinging a -10 XL1 for rec (he likes more then the voodoo) and a drop 8 voodoo in travel. He has a very fast swing speed and is a power hitter, which do you think would be more suited for him the xl-1 or the new '13 voodoo either in drop 5...also will there be a noticable difference in the "end load" moving from -8 or -10? dad
follow up question (thanks for quick response btw... Which of the 2 xl1/voodoo will have the most flex? That is his only major complaint really with bats is if they feel "whippy" dad
Would this be good for a high school prep bat? King
Hi what are the differences between this bat and the Easton XL1 -5 I am considering buying either of these two bats. Bumbum
I saw on the DeMarini site that the 2013 Voodoo comes in a 31" length. Do you plan to carry the 31"? Also, how does the 2013 DeMarini Voodoo compare to the 2012 Marucci Black -5? Which would you recommend for my son who is 13, is 5'2" and 95 lbs. Being small, he is mainly a contact hitter. He used a ExoGrid2 -8.5 last year, but needs to move up to a -5 this year in order to transition to high school ball in 2013/14. giantsfan

Since DeMarini just made a new Voodoo for BBCOR will they make any new bats in a -5? Tyler
My son is 11 and in 6th grade. He is tall and about 100 pounds. I like the 2013 voodoo, but I'm afraid the 31/26 will be too heavy for him. Is this a bat for older kids? Does it come in a 30/25? If it is too "big" what bat would you recommend. Jim
I need a bat for the season that's starts in April, should I get this Voodoo or is another one coming out soon? Tyler
My son had last year's 31/22 Voodoo and liked it. Because of travel ball regulations for his age (14), we are thinking of transitioning with this Voodoo in a 32/27 model. Last year he played travel ball and Pony League, but this year he wants to play travel, Pony and Babe Ruth. Question: Does this bat meet regulation for Babe Ruth? If not, can you make a suggestion? He doesn't want to use more than one bat. Thank you. rhettsdad23

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.
