subject: Demarini Is Also A Leader In Slow Pitch Softball Bat Design [print this page] Softball and baseball are true American institutions and the DeMarini Bat company is one of the last great American bat manufacturers. From their headquarters in Oregon they manufacture and distribute every baseball, softball and fastpitch bat that goes to market. Currently DeMarini softball bats are some of the hottest bats out there, and many of DeMarinis fastpitch bats, like the CF4 have almost a cult-like followingby design.
DeMarini has been making some of the hottest bats since the company was founded by Ray DeMarini back in 1989. Since then they have been leading the pack in softball bat innovation. They were the first company to introduce a multi-wall design with the Doublewall in 1993, and with each new bat they have improved.
But more than just the improvements to technology and design, DeMarini softball bats have had their finger on the pulse-point of the softball community. Softball was an Olympic sport starting in 1996, but it was unfortunately a brief run. To commemorate the final softball match in the Olympic games, DeMarini issued the CF3 Gold Fastpitch softball bat in 2008. This bat was released in a very limited edition, and the thrill of owning a bat with superior technology that commemorated the Olympic made this bat a cult favorite. New bats are now impossible to find, and even used bats command a premium price.
With demand for this collectable softball bat exceeding supply, DeMarini took to heart another cause that rings strong with the softball community, and released another limited edition bat: The CF4 Hope fastpitch bat which supports gaining awareness of breast cancer.
But these bats arent just gimmicks to gain publicity; they are built with the most advance technology in softball bat design. The CF4 is made of carbon material thats over twenty percent more durable than their competitors, with their Pitch Black composite technology.
DeMarini is also a leader in slow pitch softball bat design. Their Juggernaut bat line is really popular with even the most casual player. Ray DeMarini himself was a champion slow pitch softball player, and his passion was making bats that could bring out the best in each player. The Juggernaut line is very popular with tournament players because its one of the most powerful slowpitch softball bats on the market. The Juggernaut bats each feature stacked composite barrels, carbon reinforced composite flex tuned handles, along with half and half technology.
Whether you are a casual softball player or a hard core tournament junky, either way youll enjoy the power you can get from a DeMarini softball bat.
