DeMarini CF5 Youth Boasts Springboard Hitting Surface

By Jeff Wise


Of all the Little League bats for 2012, one of the best is the DeMarini CF5 Youth bat. It is made of composite materials and is a two piece bat. Many players own and love this bat and they say it hits really well.

Most leagues in the youth category are approved to use this bat, including Little League, AABC, Pony, Dixie, Babe Ruth and USSSA baseball. It has -11 length to weight ratio so a high school or college player would not want to use this bat. Luckily, there is a larger CF5 bat for older leagues.

DeMarini has four different sizes for this bat. The smallest is 29 inches and 18 ounces. The largest is 32 inches and 21 ounces. If your child will be using this bat for several years, it's best to buy a size they can grow into instead of one that will be too small next season.

The DeMarini CF5 Youth bat has several features you should know before buying. The composite is Tri Strut TR3 and it helps with strength, stability and consistence. There are two independent walls that create a dynamic springboard hitting surface. The dual density internal cap is full of load balancing triangles. A 12-month manufacturer's warranty is available. Lastly, the clutch end cap sends impact energy to the barrel.

As far as looks, the DeMarini CF5 Youth bat is pretty average. The colors are gold, white and black. The "Geo" end cap is white and black and looks better than most other end caps. The bat knob is black, white and gold and tells you the size and weight of the bat. While it's not considered the best looking bat for 2012, this bat is also not boring.

According to reviews on Amazon, most customers are very satisfied with this bat. Many people say it has great balance and is easy to swing. Some cons for this bat is the sting created from impact and that it takes awhile to break the bat in. Many have worried about the quality of the two-piece bat but once they try it they can't tell a difference.

The DeMarini CF5 Youth bat will probably be hard to find in sporting goods stores since they carry so few bats now. Even if you find this bat, there's a slim chance the store will have the size you need. The best and most affordable place to buy this bat is on Amazon.com. You can also learn more about the bat and read reviews to see if this is the best bat for your child.
