Questions about Demarini Vandetta

[Coach Mike 21]

I am curious to see thoughts about the Demarini Vandetta and/or the CF5. I am considering getting one for my daughter. She is a power hitter (14U) and fairly strong.

Go with the cf5 insane,it is endloaded.

They are both very good. Check the drop weight on the bats. I think the Vendetta is a -12 while the CF5 comes in -8, -9 -10 and -11. If it says "insane" than the bat is endloaded. Might mess up her swing. Might help. It never fails, as soon as you get one of them then you wish you bought the other one, or they go on sale. Good luck.

I wouldn't think you'd want a -12 drop bat for a 14U power hitter

The CF5 is MUCH better than the Vendetta

If your DD is strong and 14U, consider the CF5 Insane which is -10 but end-loaded or the CF5 -9.

Im surprised there are Vendetta's left that have yet to break.

The Vendetta is a good learning bat for younger players with a good pop to it. I actually have videos of my daughter and another player on her old team breaking them though. My daughter moved to the CF4 last year (just turned 12 then), Vendetta is to much drop for 14U, The CF4 is a really nice bat, but have been told the CF5 has even more, She will probably go to CF5 when she outgrows the CF4, can get last years model of CF4 on closeoutbats.com for around $200

I saw a 2012 Vendetta last week, looks good, but I too prefer CF series

This is so true. My 12 year old broke two.
