DeMarini The One.12: DXONA Slow Pitch

Pros: Bat feels balanced even though it had a slight end load. Nice pop when you hit the barrel. Virtually no sting of the hands or end. Good pop out of the wrapper. Should be awesome after break in.

Cons: Bat feels light for 27oz. Swings like it is an ounce or two lighter. Will take a couple of swings to adjust.

Pros: Great Bat. Much better than the original The One. More whip to it. Hitting bombs right out of the wrapper. Unwrapped the bat a half hour before the first game. Hit nothing but bombs.

Cons: None.

Pros: All I have to say is it is worth every penny. I'm not a 300' guy, more like hit for the gaps. This bat has amazing control and power, whatever you're looking for. I would buy it again. I would recommend it to everyone. Our team scored 25 runs the first game with this bat.... it helped the girls and guys. I would say it gives an extra 40 ft compared to the double walls.

Cons: None.

Pros: Used it for the first time out of the wrapper last night, truley amazing bat. Very comfortable to swing, smooth and controlled for a slight endload, but feels very balanced in the hands. I have to agree, the 27oz feels like a 26oz. With everyone on the team taking swings with it, the bat just gets hotter and hotter. By the end of our 2nd game, you could hardly feel the ball contacting the bat, and the ball was gone. Everyone on the team loves the bat, girls included. The girls were hitting doubles and triples. With a handful of name brand bats being swing due to "Hype" this one has felt the most comfortable right out of the wrapper. Easy to adjust to, and very impressive to swing.

Cons: Price of course!!

Pros: Broke the bat in using a tee for about 75 swings then used it in a game. Hit the fence on the line twice and then hit the hardest ball I hit since I stopped playing baseball. 90% hot almost immediately. Can't wait till it's fully broke in. Awesome bat

Cons: Not reall high on the end cap but its just for looks anyway.

Pros: Out of the wrapper, this is one of the hottest bats my team has ever hit with. The tone seems to change with every at bat and the ball travels further and further. With just about 60 swings the team is starting to hit bombs with this bat. If this thing is supposed to be broken in after 200 swings, I cannot wait to see the results. We bought the 34/27 model.

Cons: I don't have enough scratch to buy 3 of them in all 3 weights.

Pros: this bat is hot right out of the wrapper, get it while you can, reminds me of the rd,bat was hitting line drives out the wrapper with only 20 hits, its dropping bombs!

Cons:

Pros: I used a friend's last night for the first time and smashed one 325. Nice feel

Cons: None

Pros: This bat is sick. kills the ball!

Cons: 0

Pros: Great pop when hit. Line drives are smoking. Easy to place ball wherever you want. Have not tried to go yard with yet only been using it for place hitting. So far have only used in 4 games but is getting hotter each at bat.

Cons: Not as hot out of the rapper as I expected.

Pros: I normally do not contribute to any blogs, however I just purchased this bat and used it tonight for the first time. I batted 4 for 5 with a 2 singles, a double and homerun. The rest of the team used it and pretty much everyone hit it hard. This bat is amazing... literally right out of the wrapper. I highly recommend it.

Cons: The end cap is a little funky... not sure why they made it like that.

Pros: bat has amazing pop, not a very big guy but this bat gets me well over 300' with the sb12 ball. bat got me tons of homeruns this past season and i'm extremely happy i bought it.

Cons: sweet spot isn't the biggest, but when you hit it the ball never comes down.

Pros: pretty hot right out of the wrapper.love the feel of the bat,no stinging at all,love the colors,lot of fiex for sure!

Cons: feels really light for a 27oz.

Pros: The bat feels really good. Lots of pop and everyone on the team loves it.

Cons:

Pros: So far so good. Great feel, Great look. I have about 100 swings on it and I can feel it getting better.

Cons: Kinda petty but the ball seem to leave a LOT of marks on the bat. Makes it look old and weathered.

Pros: Well balanced and allows for much improved bat control when trying to place the ball. The weighted end allows an easy swing for line drives.

Cons: Takes a little while to break in based on other DeMarinis I have purchased.

Pros: nice colors, Chris Larsen name on it. Endloaded to help push the ball out of park. Very stiff like the Freak bats.

Cons: Break in period. or needs to be rolled.

Pros: Great pop, used in co-ed game, first hit by girl, solid double. Second ball hit out of the wrapper I hit a 325' bomb.

Cons:

Pros: once this bat is broken in theres nothing that you cant bomb. the sweet spot is almost the entire barrel of the bat and the bat has a great sound

Cons: painfully long time to break it in but is worth it once it there

Pros: great right out of the wrapper,four for four with three bombs first for swings.my team stinks but i`m on fire at the plate.

Cons: none.

Pros: I've used shaved bats from other makers and I would go as far to say that this bat out of the wrap can hold its own against those. The grip feels great and the 2 piece design is not as pronounced as in later models. Hit a bomb the 1st at bat, man couldn't wait to break it in. Even play a little bit of co-ed weak side for the 1st time and almost went yard!

Cons: Got about 300 hits on this bat and has not improved a whole lot more. Composite bats get better with use but this one is pretty much the same. Don't get me wrong its a good bat it just is what it is after its broken in.

Pros: Hot out of the wrapper. everything was to the fence or over. Then had it rolled. This bat is a monster,bombs all over the place. And the line drives come off so fast that there hard to handle love it.

Cons: nothing yet
