Do your teammates call you “slugger?” Do you bat in the 3, 4, or 5 spot all the time? If your role on the team is to supply the heavy lumber then the DeMarini CF3 White Fastpitch Bat might as well have your name in script near the end of the barrel. This is your model, your club to drive in more runs and hit more crowd-pleasing, opponent-beating shots to the parking lot.
The heart of this beast is the max-powered demarini cf3 black, given a white paint job to make it look like the good guy and maybe put the competition at ease. While they are lured into complacency you’ll be driving the ball harder and longer, giving them a wake-up call that will come too late. Hit the ball square and you’ll enjoy more power than you ever experienced in your favorite aluminum stick. Miss-hit the ball and you’ll still get more bang for your buck because the double-walled construction of the DeMarini CF3 White Fastpitch Bat is super-stiff, producing more sweet spot in the barrel. The magic of composite is that it has the ability to store energy and immediately release it on contact, producing a springboard effect proven to add significant ball speed and distance.
If that weren’t enough, the DeMarini CF3 White Fastpitch Bat is one of the most user-friendly sticks in the stack. The handle is thinned for control and comfort, the latter being aided by the variegated Comfort grip. The weight differential is a perfect -8 for power hitters, with lengths from 29 to 32 inches.
This bat is designed for players looking to pack some pop at the plate. Middle of the batting order hitters will benefit the most, though any player will notice an improvement in their stats with the DeMarini CF3 White Fastpitch Bat.
If you are a very good hitter that can make the most of advanced technology then investing in a DeMarini CF3 White Fastpitch Bat might pay off very handsomely.

Exogrid is all the buzz in high school and college baseball circles at the moment. Because Louisville Slugger has come out with the amazing TPX Exogrid baseball bat.
So what is Exogrid? Exogrid is a technology that has been developed that fuses a matrix of metal and composite together to create a material that has exceptional qualities.
Exogrid materials start their life as a high strength metal or metal alloy such as titanium. Using advanced machining such as laser cutting portions of the metal are cut away leaving behind a solid light-weight one piece web or matrix of metal.
The Exogrid shell is then fused to an inner composite structure with the patented Bi/Fusion process. Under intense heat and pressure the metal and composite become one solid structure that is both lightweight and strong.
The metal Exogrid adds strength and the composite is lightweight and has better bending / torsion characteristics than metal. The multi - material design has advanced vibration dampening abilities because of the different natural frequencies of the materials.
Louisville Slugger has introduced the TPX Exogrid which uses the technology to create a dominating baseball bat. They claim that the TPX Exogrid's one piece design with an ultra stiff carbon composite reinforced handle is the key to harder, longer hitting.
The theory is that if the handle flexes the barrel can't. When the barrel of the bat makes contact with the ball their is a trampoline effect where the force of the swing is transferred to the ball. With a flexible or two-piece bat as found in the competition Louisville Slugger claims that some of the force of the swing is lost.
And while some of the competition claim that a flexible handle increases performance it's hard to argue when TPX's stiff handle technology has been used by 7 of the last 9 College World Series Champions.
The bat is end weighted and takes a little more strength to swing then a more balanced bat. This bat is definitely built to be a homerun hitter's bat. And it hits hard. The bat has great pop, my hits were consistently 40 - 50 ft. further than usual. The bat feels good and the sound it makes is pleasing.
