Demarini Dark Softball Bat Review Ultimate

 

We hit both the 26 ounce and 27 ounce versions and the same guys got very different results. Most of the hitters liked the 26, but some hitters did not like the 26 at all and left the first session very disappointed. When they came back for the next session we tried a 27 and their opinions changed dramatically.



The Dark swings end loaded – the Half & Half design of lightweight graphite handle and Doublewall aluminum barrel allows the hitter to bring the bat through the hitting zone faster without having to make any alterations or improvements to their basic swing. We think that because of that design, swinging too light a bat makes for more problems than swinging a light balanced bat would. With the object of this bat being to hit the ball hard and deep, a too-light bat seems to produce pop-ups and soft flies. This would make since if the bat is coming through the zone faster than you normally bring it. Our advice – borne out by testing – is to go slightly heavy with the Dark for best results.

This bat performs much like DeMarini’s F2, a similar model that is approved for all sanctions of play. The Dark is not approved for ASA play.

    It has a great feel, with all that weight out at the end. It makes a nice Doublewall “crack” sound, and it has DeMarini’s traditional generous sweet spot, one of the largest for an aluminum bat.

There is good pop in the bat, but we found it to be more effective as a line drive bat; our power hitters were able to hit home runs fairly easily but did not get any extra distance over the bat they regularly use. The one question we had dealt with durability, as we broke the 26 after approximately 600+ swings; the 27 survived all testing without a dent.

The Dark features a Flex-Tuned composite handle, bat rotation index and Wilson’s Positack texture grip. It is not approved for ASA play.
