DeMarini CF4 Insane: DXCFI Fastpitch

Pros: This bat is awesome. Has a very large sweet spot and the ball seems to fly off it.

Cons: not having it

Pros: Bought it for my 12 year old niece and she loves it. From the time I took her to the cages and watched her knock the plastic cover off to four games later, she is absolutely driving the ball! The length and weight is perfect for her and she is getting her hands through the hitting zone faster than ever with lots of pop. Her favorite color is yellow so that makes it even better.

Cons: A little vibration on mishits. Strictly my assessment, however, she says it's minimal compared to other bats she has had (this is her first top tier bat).

Pros: Solid bat; looks nice. Now that it is somewhat broke in it has excellent distance. Expect much more as it racks up hits.

Cons: 2010 CF4 did not require near as much hitting to break in. Compared to other brands it seems like it doesnt need break in...but in reality it does. About 100+ hits in batting practice, making sure to rotate each time, and the bat was performing great!

Pros: Good weighting on this end-loaded bat. We had the 2010 synergy speed and this has more pop on it. Girls actually love the "bumblebee" look

Cons: As a dad, I prefer the 2010 colors

Pros: I got this bat right before I went to an out of state tourny. I was a little worried to use it because it wasnt broken in yet. But there was no reason to be worried! This bat really did its job. I was batting .490 with this bat. The bat has alot of pop, you can really feel the ball just jump off the bat!

Cons: After my 2nd game I noticed a chip in the bat.

Pros: Everything. We bought this bat to give my 14U daughter a little heavier and longer bat. Since using the bat in two tournaments she has hit 6 home runs and almost as many triples. She loves the bat and gets a lot more distance than her one year old Easton Synergy. All the lessons and BP pay dividends when using this bat!

Cons: None. It has been worth every penny.

Pros: I'm an intermediate level player in a Co-Ed slow pitch league. I wanted a premium end-loaded, but light bat. I'm a spray (lead-off type) hitter, who averages 1 HR a year. My first two hits, directly out of wrapper were bombs... BOTH for over the fence HR's. Tremendous pop when hitting the ball, even for non power hitters. I had my team literally BOWING to the bat... Affectionately now nick-named "Bomb-ble bee bat".

Cons: None!

Pros: this bat has more pop than the 2010 CF4. We are very pleased with this bat.

Cons: none so far

Pros: Best I can explain, IF you love the endload of a metal rocketech and the pop of a composite bat, this is the bat for you. This is a great bat IF you are a stronger hitter and IF you are used to an endload. My DD loves it, but she grew up on Rocketech and XENO, this is a combo of both. Break in easy and durable bat.

Cons: This one is retiring on June 1 for a new model with a different construction theory; hope we dont miss it too much.

Pros: I bought this bat for my 12-A daughter about a month ago. The first couple of tournaments nothing seemed different from her old bat, then BAM!!! She went 10 - 14 this weekend with multiple extra base hits, RBIs and runs scored. The ball jumped off the bat. I would highy recommend this bat, but give it a proper break in period.

Cons: Buy this bat and go straight to the cages and get your kid used to the swing of it. Break it in.

Pros: I was using my Stealth Bat, which was very light, I seemed to be ahead of all of the slower pitchers. I went to a softball camp and someone had the CF4 and I just had to have one, I loved it. Once I got it I didn't really like it because I was hitting the ball farther with the Stealth's but now that I have broken itin it hits better than any other bat I've ever used.Now I cant wait to try the CF5.

Cons: I spent 300 dollars not 229. There is a CF5 that I'm jelous of. And it kind of sucks to have to break in the bat but it's totally worth it.

Pros: I loved this bat when I first got it. If you are confused on wether you should get the insane or just the regular -10, just ask yourself how you like the weight distributed. If you like it endloaded go with the insane. It's a great bat, and also if you are a parent buying one for your kid, I would get the CF4 even though there are CF5's there is not a big diffrence and you could save up to a hundred dollars some places. This is coming for the girl who has a CF4 insane and a CF5.

Cons: The whole team wants to use it.

Pros: this bat is awesome since I got this bat my batting has improved majorly

Cons: its not my favorite color which is pink

Pros: Daughter is small but was able to move up to larger bat with increased weight with the feel being less then her prevouis bat

Cons: Daughter has nothing negative to say about this bat. Was skeptical at first but loves it since her first swing

Pros: beautiful bat with lots of pop

Cons: none at the moment

Pros: I am the coach of a slowpitch Co-ed team, we have lost every game, and couldn't figure out why we were losing by so much. On the advice of a semi-pro player we decided to buy a better bat. We puchased this bat and every single player hits easily twice as far. Rookie or Veteran this bat makes you feel like a pro. BTW ZERO break in time. Hit it over the fence several times during the first practice.

Cons: NONE, with this bat only you can improve...

Pros: Incredible bat. My daughter loves the "pop" coming off the bat. This bat has become her favorite.

Cons: None.

Pros: Awesome bat!! The first weekend my 10yo used it she almost put one out of the park! Great bat for power hitters!

Cons: Not owning one!

Pros: If you can handle it, the insane edition of the CF4 is awesome. My 12 year old power hitting daughter has the 33 -10 and has been crushing the ball. I think she will hit some out of the park this year! Her favorite bat was an 8 year old Wicked that was dead as a door knob but I could not get out of her hands. When the CF4 came she immediately picked it up and has not looked back.

Cons: If your daughter is not a strong, power hitter you might want to look at the regular CF4. With the Insane Edition, only the best hitters with the best technique need apply.
