Bat Duel: 2014 DeMarini Voodoo vs. 2014 DeMarini Vexxum

Written by Marcus A | Aug 5, 2013 5:00:52 AM

Finding the right bat is difficult, no matter if you’re looking for a one-piece, two-piece, alloy, composite, wood, balanced or end loaded model. Right here, we are going to have two of DeMarini’s top-of-the-line bats face-off against one another to see which one comes out on top.

First up, we’ve got the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo. The Voodoo is featured in -13 Youth , -9 & -5 Senior League and -3 Adult BBCOR models.

Keys to Victory
The Voodoo is a two-piece bat with an alloy barrel and composite handle. The X10 Alloy in the thickness-tuned barrel combines with stiffness of DeMarini’s brand new Paradox Composite handle to make the Voodoo ultra-responsive. DeMarini has placed the Taper Ring within the barrel lower, opening up the sweet spot and reducing the bat’s heaviness through the swing zone. The ION V End Cap helps reduce vibration even more, while the RCK (Really Cool Knob) is anatomically correct - allowing the bat to rest in your hands more comfortably.

Weight Distribution: End Loaded
Design: Two-Piece
Handle: Paradox Composite
Barrel: X10 Alloy

Stepping up to the plate next is the 2014 DeMarini Vexxum. This bat comes in the following weights: -12 Youth, -10.5 Junior Big Barrel, -10 & -5 Senior League, and -3 Adult BBCOR.

Keys to Victory
The Vexxum NVS is similar to the Voodoo, in that it is a two-piece bat that features an alloy barrel and composite handle. While the alloy materials used in both bats are the same (X10 Alloy), the Vexxum’s handle is comprised of C6 Composite. The C6 handle and finely tuned single wall NVS barrel are specifically designed to work together to give you more flexibility and trampoline effect. The N2M End Cap that tops of the Vexxum is ultra-lightweight, allowing players to achieve maximum swing speed.

Weight Distribution: Balanced
Design: Two-Piece
Handle: C6 Composite
Barrel: X10 Alloy
