That's why she helped DeMarini design a bat that's high performance and durability are unmatched for the price. The Bustos fastpitch bat is constructed from DX1 Alloy that delivers the perfect balance of high KSI strength and fracture toughness for long lasting durability. Though this is a one-piece alloy bat, the handle is strengthen through the use of Fiber Reinforced Composite (FRC). The FRC handle eliminates vibration and hand sting to give players more confidence on inside hits.

As with all DeMarini bats, the Bustos fastpitch bat is marked with a Rotation Index to remind players to rotate their bat every time up. This creates an even break-in and greatly extends the life of the bat. DeMarini: Insane Dedication to Performance! The Bustos is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty.

by Blaze - Mar 13, 2012
Pros: This bat is light weight and well balanced.
Cons: This bat has bad vibration and seems dead.Save your money and get a CF-5 or xeno!
by 3kkidz - Apr 02, 2012
Pros: awsome bat.. my daughter is a small 11 yr old, and plays fastpitch.. This bat came in the perfect size for her,and she can hit to the fence just like the bigger girls with her bat.. We love it!
Cons: None so far
by Gnarl - Apr 06, 2012
Pros: used this bat against eighth grade pitchers (im in sixth) and got the ball to the out field. Made the team! Lucky bat! I even named it!
Cons: my whole team wants to use it!
by aufisch - Apr 15, 2012
Pros: My daughter loves this bat and has been hitting much further. Several other girls on her team have "adopted" this as their bat of choice because they are knocking them out into the outfield.
Cons: None yet
by chris - Apr 28, 2012
Pros: Lightweight....good hits with lots of distance on them.
Cons: Practiced with it 2 wks (11 yr old), dented. Sent it back and got a replacement and was dented again the first game used. Recommend spending more money and getting something better as it's been more of a hassle than a good bat.
by bdiodattoooo - Mar 04, 2012
Pros: This bat is average. I say it is worth more like $50.00. There is nothing that great about this bat and I recommend spending extra money on a bat like the CF5 or the Xeno.
Cons: I have had to send this bat back 3 times for breaking in the same exact spot every time. it is not worth your money.
by Anonymous - Apr 10, 2012
Pros: good pop. hits to the outfield
Cons: i know 4 people not including myself who have broke this bat in the same spot! Cracked mine in the cages! :(
by softballmania - Mar 03, 2012

Ask QuestionWhat does BPF stand for?
Asked by Spike on May 01, 2012
BPF stands for "bat performance factor". The BPF is essentially a measure of a non-wood bat’s performance (how fast the ball exits the bat when hit).

Does this bat need to be broke in after purchase or is it ready to hit in game?
Asked by Faceman on Apr 23, 2012
The 2012 DeMarini Bustos does not need to be broken in because it is an alloy bat. It will be ready to go right out of the wrapper.

What is the difference in the 2012 model versus the 2011 model other than the color?
Asked by Bubba and Sissy's dad on Apr 17, 2012
Honestly, there isn't any real difference between the 2011 Bustos and the 2012 Bustos. Both are made from the same alloy and feature the same technology.

I see this is a 1.15bpf when most softball bats are 1.20. Due to the 1.15, can this b e used in LL hardball? It has all the required stamps and the 1.15 is what is required for hardball..!!
Asked by Kelly Be on Apr 09, 2012
The DXBFP has a 1.20 BPF, and is labeled as such on the barrel of the bat. It will not be legal for Little League baseball.
· Apr 09, 2012
So is there a definitive answer as to whether this is approved for little league softball? I would like to get a -13 for my daughter and they seem a bit hard to come by.
Asked by ajw0805 on Mar 01, 2012
Yes. This bat is ASA approved and legal for all fastpitch softball leagues.

Would this be an ok bat for the cold?
Asked by kristen on Feb 27, 2012
Most manufacturers recommend players limit the amount of usage when it's below 55 or 60 degrees outside. The Bustos is a very durable bat and should hold up very well. As with any other bat though, just try to limit how much you use it in colder weather.
· Feb 27, 2012
Is this bat ok to use in colder weather we have a new 2012 vendetta, but need a bat for colder weather. Thanks
Asked by billy on Feb 19, 2012
The DXBFP is a great bat to use in cooler weather. For more Demarini suggestions our contact center associates would be happy to help you, 1-866-321-2287.

Asked by softball dad on Jan 24, 2012

good slapper model?
Asked by 2muchriding on Dec 21, 2011
Yes, this would be a good slapper model.

How does this bat compare to the easton rival XXL and the mizuno avalanche? Is this a good bat for high school fastpitch softball? I was really looking for a 19.5 oz bat but will 19 oz still do the job?
Asked by allie on Nov 17, 2011
This is a good bat for fastpitch softball. Both the Easton Rival and the Bustos uses top of the line alloy. The Busos has a balanced swing weight. The Rival XXL is going to be slightly endloaded. Your weight and height would determine the weight you need. High School players usually use a little heavier bat.
· Nov 18, 2011
My daughter just got the Bustos and we would like to go to the batting cage, is it ok to hit the dippled balls,and is there. a min.temp for this bat, its cold in the fall ball and spring here in Ohio.
Asked by Whitey on Oct 27, 2011
I do not suggest using this bat in a batting cage with those dimpled balls. It is always a good idea to have a game bat and a cage bat.
· Oct 27, 2011
how much pop is on this bat?
Asked by amandaa on Oct 08, 2011
The Bustos have very good pop for a bat in that price range. It is a good choice.
· Oct 09, 2011
How does this bat compare to other alloy bats and other composite bats? My daughters play 10u and I am looking for a light bat with good pop.
Asked by Cardinal59 on Sep 08, 2011
This is going to be a great bat in the price range of $150 and lower. This bat is going to have good durability and pop. The Bustos series has been around and is known for their durability.
