Geometric Perfection - The DeMarini CF5

Posted by Pro Athlete Inc on Oct 26, 2011 3:40:25 PM

If you’ve had a conversation over the past 5 years about the hottest bats in baseball or softball, you’ve likely talked about the DeMarini “CF” bats.

This year, the release of the CF5 was met with acclaim and skepticism alike. There were those that just knew that this bat would be even better than the last, and then there were those that were convinced that there was no way a bat could get hotter than the 2011 CF4. The latter was in for a surprise.

Posted by Pro Athlete Inc on Oct 20, 2011 1:14:40 PM

Although they’re known for their gloves, Mizuno has some of the hottest softball bats on the field today. Their most popular and highest performing design is called the Frenzy, yet somehow it has managed to slide under the radar a little. The Frenzy was released in an ASA approved, balanced design and a USSSA approved, end loaded design this year.
