Tobias JunkerThe new DeMarini CF8 is one of the bats that will take players by a storm, the bat utilizes new paradox plus composite material in the handle and barrel this increases the strength of the barrel and it is scientifically designed to feel softer upon impact. The mechanism of action of the bat is through the increase in the responsiveness of the sweet spot and better handling therefore, it delivers consistent powerful swings. The D-fusion technology on the handle is essential because it eliminates any kind of vibration, when vibrations are eliminated it reduces the chances of off-center hits.
When the vibrations are reduced, the hands of the player are protected against any kind of energy and sting from the bat or into the barrel. The D-fusion handle opens with a better sound when hitting the barrel, the CF 8 features stacked double wall construction, which optimizes the trampoline effect on the entire barrel thereby offering high performance on the pitch. The product comes with 12- month manufacturer’s warranty and free shipping from the manufacturer. With no doubt players, expect top quality from the manufacturer and the CF series will deliver ultimate balance and power. When the pressure builds on each plate the movement of the pad is in a slow motion and it delivers optimal results.
