Demarini Baseball Bats

Demarini Baseball Bats are a small division of Wilson Athletics, which is more commonly known for their baseball mitts and gloves. Their aluminum baseball bats are created with a flex-tuned carbon composite handle that is very light and produces a lot of flex in the bat. Some people say that the extra flex helps create a whipping action to increase bat speed.

Demarini Baseball Bats are known for having durability issues. The manufacturer goes so far as to paint a warning on the bat advising you to rotate it after each hit so you are not consistently striking the ball with the same part of the barrel.

Demarini Baseball Bats have a longer barrel than most other aluminum bats and helps you to strike the ball with a good part of the bat more often. Their bats fell nicely balanced.

These bats are still not very common. Please post your comments if you have experience with Demarini Baseball Bats.
