Has there been another fastpitch bat in Demarini's lineup that comes close to the performance of this bat? Most hitters who are prefer Demarini still claim this is the hottest bat ever released by this company. I was watching a college game here in Canada not too long ago and there was a hitter with a CF8 drop 11. It looked brand new, I have no idea where she got it from. I guess she could of stocked up on these bats back when they were available. I was kind of surprised to see a drop 11 at the college level, but then again she hit the longest bomb of the game.. lol. I still don't know how these things were legal, hottest bat my DD ever swung.

They have them NIW on ebay if you have $500 burning a hole in your pocket :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Its ridiculous how much people are trying to get for these. Just did a quick search on ebay only for -11's and this is what they have:
31/20- 790
32/21- 740
33/22- 690
30/19- 649 (two of these available)
29/18- 599

Imho, the cf9 is just as hot. Dd has had both and I've seen tons of cf9's around with girls killing the ball them.

For those prices I would expect the bat to come with something else..like maybe Mike Trout to use it for you :ROFLMAO:

I posted the reply below in another thread about a month ago:

My oldest DD isn't very big, and she has had every -11 CF from the CF7 through the CF ZEN. She insists to this day that the CF7 was the best/hottest of the bunch. The CF8 and CF9 were close, but didn't have the CF8 very long as it broke fairly quickly and was replaced with the CF9. The CFX she had seemed to be a dud, and developed a rattle relatively quickly. The CF ZEN is hotter that the CFX, but doesn't instill the magic that the old CF7 did.

I should also note that every single on of them broke, except her current Zen. Given past history, I suspect that it is on borrowed time now. And FWIW, she's had a few Slappers too, and the CF8 was indeed a hot bat.

That is a confusing bat. There seems to be 4-5 different models of the CF8; Sprite, insane, hope, slapper, and some military version.

Which one is the hot CF8??
