Hi,

Just wondering if you guys think Demarini would honor this has a replacement. It's not your typical weave surface crack which has me worried about the integrity and performance of the bat. I purchased it last August

Thank you.

They should replace it if it is still under warranty. If an umpire inspects that bat they are throwing it out.

Also curious, would she be able to move up a size or will have to be the same size... right now it's a 31/20, hoping they would let us replace up to a 32/21

May require some sweet talking on the phone as most manufactures only offer same model/size. Otherwise they would be getting warranty returns whenever a player outgrew a bat...

Demarini just gives you a credit to use on their website towards the purchase of whatever you want. We went through it a couple weeks ago.

Thanks guys. She is currently using a 31/20, wondering if I should go to a 31/21. Shes 5"2', 110-115 lbs and 12 years old. She has very good bat speed, ...a power hitter. Or she could go to a 32/21, she loves these bats. I am just afraid it's too long.

I would go with a -10. 31/21 would be the next step. But at 12 she will need a 32/22 very soon and may even be able to handle a 32/22 now.

Seems from 10 years old to 16, they need a new bat every year. My DD is 17, and this is the first year she did not move up in bat size. But I still bought a new bat so that she has a duplicate of her gamer :)
