6 STARS Blake player
Pros: I had a chance to demo this bat and I can say without a doubt it's the best bat I've ever swung before. The feeling on contact is incredible. I think that new 3Fusion system is legit and not just more marketing Mumbo jumbo. I can't speak to the durability because I've only used it in a batting cage once but I gave it a five out of five stars anyways because I've never had a problem with DeMarini bats.
Cons: The price tag :( Ugh. $450?! That's way outside of budget. Maybe next year when it's a close out.
terrible bat Joe player
Pros: none
Cons: Bought this bat after having last years model and complete opposite bats. Was very satisfied with last years model, lots of pop. Went to hit with this and felt dead from the start, not to mention the bat started cracking near the handle. Dont waste money or time buying this bat!!!
Send It Austin Fadal player
Pros: This bat has great feel with great pop. I hit with it and off the bat I knew it was an amazing quality bat. Well built with passion.
Cons: A bit expensive but definetely worth it
BBCOR Hammer player
Pros: this bat obviously doesnt have much pop due to strict BBCOR regulations. but it is definitely a better bat than most bbcors. ive hit off the end cap a few times and nothing has been damaged and the vibration is amazing. the pop is really good for a BBCOR bat.
Cons: the grip tape is not very good, it is designed to feel good with demarini batting gloves. they want you to spend extra money on the gloves, that brings the general feel down a bit. you have to square the ball up pretty good to get the pop from it. otherwise great bat!
Demarini Cf Zen review Baseaballboy5 player
Pros: This bat has an amazing feel from the beginning. Even with the composite feel it has great pop from the beginning. It is definitely game ready right away. It is extremely balanced as well. When hit on the sweet spot the ball flies amazingly with great carry. It feels awesome in ones hands.
Cons: The grip gave me one blister but that's a minor so just put lizard skin on it. For more reviews on this bat follow bencbaseballkid5 on Instagram.
Really Good Product Alex coach
Pros: POP, Feel, look is awesome, distance...our team uses mostly the Louisville PRIME 918 bats. This is the other bat some of my players have purchased and really like
Cons: Price is $450, but so are some others
boom Logan player
Pros: the pop is crazy
Cons: you have to break it in to have insane pop
Great bat Conor player
Pros: This bat has great balance and ball-off-bat speed. I've used it for a couple of months before doing this review and it has definitely lived up to my expectations.
Cons: It does seem to have a slightly smaller sweet spot than other bats I've owned.

Pros: The pop is ok on the bat but it still has pop. The durability is amazing.
Cons: No sound comes off the bat and it is very expensive
Broke Too easily Brandon player
Pros: Looks very nice, nice general feel,great pop and little to no vibration.
Cons: Me and the kid on my team who has the bat use it, I used it a couple of times and 8 games into the season I broke the end cap. for $450 IT SHOULD BE MORE DURABLE. Also not as much pop as I thought it would have from last years model.
primes better tizzy t player
Pros: none
Cons: prime have big pop
good player34 player
Pros: ive had this bat for a long time now and it is very solid. good pop, no vibration, great feel. really good bat.
Cons: the price, $450. my teammate had the same bat but it broke in half, he got the LS prime 918 after and likes that way more, i don't have a problem with mine though. do not use it in cold weather though, it will break.
Amazing feel with tremendous pop Cole player
Pros: Decided to go with another brand and get away from Easton because they're bats aren't good anymore. So I went with Demarini and I picked up this bat for a killer deal ($270). Yes, i said $270 but i didn't buy it on here. When I first took this bat to the cage, I had to break it in a little and get use to the bat after using a wood bat all throughout spring and summer. It was very easy to get use too. The feel is amazing and the sweet spot is big. Took more bp with the bat and I was hitting the ball farther and farther each time. I'm 14, 5'8, and 145 pounds swinging a 33/30 and the ball was going at least 310-325. Highly recommend this bat and will buy another Demarini in the future.
Cons: Nothing so far.
balanced sal parent
Pros: well balanced, true hit, good comfortable swing
Cons: not as much pop as louisville 918 prime
Great Bat Austin Kirkwood player
Pros: Great pop, good balance
Cons: non
DONT do it! Jody parent
Pros: none
Cons: My son has used this bat this summer and this fall. Bat never woke up! It has not been as good as the last model. He grabs any other bat and hits 30-40 ft farther. I have put swings on it trying to get it to loosen up . Two nights ago it broke on the barrel. Bat is trash!
I HATE THIS BAT Carson Ray coach
Pros: NONE AT ALL
Cons: THIS BAT STINKS

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.
