Most durable top of the line bat.

Question for the bat reps, or others that may know. Why did DeMarini stop making the original Black Prism? It was a balanced bat with good pop. Great for they younger girls

The CF9 was the last really great CF they made. We still have a 32-22 and 32-22 Hope in the CF9, and they still have great pop.

But the one you could make a killing on is the CF8 Sprite. People swear by that bat.

So if you had to choose between those two older DeMarini models, would you go with the CF8 in a 33/23 or a CF-9?

I wouldnt spend huge dollars for any bat that has no warranty

It's a personal choice, but I liked the CF-8 better.

Agreed

Easton Ghost is hands down most durable. My DD used it for over two years and it wouldn't break. Had to move up in size so gave this to a smaller girl and it's still going strong. Ghosts last forever.

People talk all the time about which top of the line bat is the hottest. My question is which one is the most durable. My DD thinks her ghost is the hottest, I would like something durable for a back up when it breaks and to use hitting in the cage.

My daughter fell in love with the Ghost bat from the first time she hit with it. We’ve had 3-4 over time with no issues. The latest and last one did crack. With that said I researched other options. I ended up with the New 2023 Marucci Echo Connect. Videos I found claims it has the same if not 1-2 more mph exit velocity than the ghost. With more reliability. For the savings… glad I bought it. On another note…. My daughter is not a POWER hitter. She’s had the Marucci for less than 2 months and just hit her first Homerun with it. Take that for what you will but so far so good for us! You can also buy last years models for $100 less than the new ones! Just different color.
