Pros: The bat has amazing feel and pop from the first swing. The ball was flying off of the bat. It has a really great sweet spot thats actually pretty forgiving when you don't hit the ball exactly where you really want to. You can still get alot of drive when you don't make ideal contact or if you get way out in front of a pitch. Something to think about with this bat is its a one piece bat that doesn't have the same amount of flex or whip of some of the other two piece bats that are available. That doesn't mean you can't hit some serious bombs with this thing though, like i said the ball will fly off of this thing when you hit the ball. I think this makes this an excellent bat for anyone looking to buy their first "real" softball bat or putting any serious amount of money into a bat. I would recommend this bat to anyone at really any level of play.

Cons: None

New for 2012! DeMarini has a long history of producing some of the hottest and most popular bats in the game. In fact, in 1997, DeMarini released what is still the best selling aluminum slow pitch bat of all-time: the Classic DeMarini Doublewall. This season, DeMarini is re-releasing a limited run of this classic bat. The Ultimate Classic features a one-piece design made from DeMarini's exclusive DX1 Alloy. This alloy boasts one of the highest combinations of fracture resistant durability and game-changing trampoline effect of any material out there. The Ultimate Classic is capped off with an N2M End Cap that is tuned to absorb vibrations and create maximum energy transfer upon impact. At the other end of the bat, a simple, yet effective Positack 2 Grip will give hitters the comfort and tack they desire. As with all DeMarini bats, the Ultimate Classic 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 Ultimate Classic is approved for play in ASA, USSSA, NSA, ISA, and ISF. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

by Ryno - Feb 21, 2012

Pros: Not sure. Huge dent appeared in the middle of the barrel after about 30 swings in indoor tunnel hitting old game-used .44/.375 ASA balls.

Cons: Durability seems to be a concern. Hoping I just got a defective bat and the warranty replacement will hold up better.

Pros: This bat is definitely very similiar to the "original". It has good pop and the range is awesome! I'm a mere 5'4, 125lbs but I stroke it deep OF and line shots. Very satisfied!

Cons: none

Pros: Has amazing pop for an aluminum bat. This is my first double-wall bat and the ball just jumps off the bat. It has a good balance about it and large sweet spot. I was hitting deep shots and plenty of line drives.

Cons: None so far.

Can I use this bat in colder weather? Will it get damaged if I use it in temps below 60 degrees?

You can use this bat when it's cooler outside. But as with any bat, just be careful with how much it is used when it's below 55 or 60 degress outside. The likely hood of any bat becoming damaged increases with colder temperatures. This is a pretty durable bat though.

Is there any composite in this bat? or is it 100% metal?

This is a 100% alloy bat, and their is not any composite material in it.
