If you’re having trouble getting enough “oomph” on the ball or just need a change then you need to get your hands on a DeMarini. Not only will these bats increase your bat speed and pop, but there are multiple types of bats that fit the player you are. For the big power hitters you can use the Voodoo, for contact hitters with some pop you can use the CF7, and for the contact hitter who likes a smaller barrel you can use the Vexxum. No matter what DeMarini bat you put in your hands you will see a better outcome within the first swing you take with it. BRYCE HARPER: Growing up I refused to swing anything other than a DeMarini. They gave me the ability to hit for power and contact along with having great weight distribution. Use a DeMarini and you can be a big leaguer just like me.
