Bat Question

What's on your mind?

by BonezMom » Thu May 14, 2009 8:21 am

Besides price..... is there any big differences between the DeMarini CF3, Vendetta and VooDoo bats? Does anyone have any experience with any of these bats? The CF3 seems to be hot right now.....
Too bad, so sad, bye bye

No.

The only difference is who swings it.

The Vendetta is a -12 and is a single wall barrel



I like the fact that the Vendetta comes in -12 lighter bat.. more plate coverage but.....

.... multi wall vs. single wall...... what is the advantage? Sorry... I am a little bat illiterate.

Joe, While I agree that it is the proficiency of the hitter that is tantamount you can't really say there is no difference in theses bats.


I'll put up my golf game as exhibit #1.

While I've fallen victim to every marketing MBA out there and bought every new golf club throughout the years...my good friend who plays with a decade-old set of K-mart specials, kicks my butt consistently.

Yes, there are differences and I'm all for helping the economy, but most Suzie's should depreciate last year's $299 model...at least until she starts hitting a buck fifty!

My dd swings a Voodoo- we got it for a few reasons Multi wall, drop 10 and its team name- most important to her. She has tried the CF3 same size Says not alot differant in feel but doesnt feel the same pop. I think break in time a bit longer for Cf3. Voodoo seemed to have good pop from beginning, And $100.00 cheaper. Good Luck!

Ouch, I hope DD's CF3 doesn't look like that soon! She's had it since September.

This info is for the ages of 12 & up / maybe a big 10 year old.There is no comparing a single wall bat to a double wall bat. The ball comes off the bat a lot harder. But only if there using a hard ball, no soft dots. Soft dots i think aluminum is better. I know bats are way to expensive but it is what it is. I know a lot of people say a bats a bat but sorry to say composite bat is way better than aluminum. And a drop -12 is not just for a slap hitter. It depends on the size of the girl swinging the bat. Don’t cheat your daughter spend the $$$$. The bat will last a year our longer.
