My son had an Easton previously and you knew when it was a well hit ball, not with this bat. Ball does not jump off of this bat and the noise is like hitting the ball with a wet 2X4. Cant return and now stuck with it. The other thing is when a ball is hit with the end of the barrel the ball just dies and its almost like you just bunted the ball.Has no pop!Don’t listen to any of these haters on this bat. This all aluminum bat has pop and the ball jumps off of it. I got this bat a month ago for my 12 year old to only use in tournaments. In his first tournament using it, he hit his first home run ever. He hit another one in his 2nd tournament using it. Not to mention he has since hit 3 home runs with his USA bat in travel. Probably because he realized he was capable of do so.One negative is a 31” bat is actually 30.25 because of the plastic piece at the end. Typically a 31” bat is 30.75.Was thoroughly disappointed in this bat. We had a Cat8 that went in for warranty, and bought this to replace. This bat has the smallest sweet spot we have ever had in a bat, and the end cap itself takes away from the overall length hitting space. This bat was basically dead out of the wrapper. Hardly comes off the bat, doesn't hit as far as other comparable bats, and has a lot of vibration.. It's such a disappointment and will not be buying anymore DeMarini products.
