Def different than previous incarnations - sounds different, more feel from what DD says

ball has been jumping off the bat from what I've seen - is that Demarini using some of that LS technology they paid for, or just the "new bat" effect, I don't know

If that is true that will definitely be a positive for Demarini. I have never been impressed with the performance of Demarini fastpitch bats.

DD had always been a LS kid - she liked the feel, found the Demarini stuff "stiff"


she really liked her teammates CF9 - you can hear the difference, sounds more like the LXT/Xeno (although each sounds different than the other) - our team has several LXT Plus swingers, and several CF8 girls......the CF9 seems a lot closer to the LS stuff of the past


it is by far the first Demarini the DD has liked; she has changed her mind (again) and we're ordering a CF9 from Core (for reasons outlined in my other post.....all about the confidence boost)


they got something from LS for sure - not sure if it is connection technology or carbon matrix technology - but the CF9 so far seems more Slugger-like lol


Core may jump in and tell me I'm completely wrong, but....

DD loves hers. It definitely has a different sound, and she likes the changes they made to the grip. I can't tell yet if it's got more pop or my DD's CF7 was just that dead. The ball does seem to be coming off it better.

Before you buy, IM CoreSoftball for a price. You won't be disappointed.

Sorry Tim, Demarini took nothing from LS...heck, LS doesn't even make their own bats...haha.

Bats have nothing in common.

And to be honest, "stiff" is the last word anybody would ever use for a Demarini CF bat...haha.
They are kinda the most flexy feeling bat out there.
