Review Summary
based on 49 ratings. 49 user reviews.
New for 2012! The DXCFX features the USSSA 1.15 stamp and is legal for use in 2012! For the past several years, the CF4 has dominated discussions about the hottest bats on the market. This year, DeMarini raises the stakes by introducing a completely revamped successor, aptly named the CF5. The CF5 is built on the principle of geometric perfection. DeMarini has unveiled a new composite material, called TR3 Strut Composite, that imitates the structure of crystals which are one of the strongest and most stable compounds on Earth. The triangle formation inside the barrel provides a fixed ratio of sides and angles so it's strong, stable and predictable - without any unnecessary weight! The molecular structure of the TR3 Strut handle is designed to efficiently transition power from the hands to the barrel to give players balance and consistency with every swing. This two-piece design is engineered durable with a very high strength to weight ratio, and light enough to be worthy of Doublewall duty. A bat like this can't be plugged with any average end cap, so DeMarini engineered the new Geo Endcap to meet its needs. The Geo Endcap is full of load-balancing triangles and is designed to maintain the stiffness of the barrel while dampening vibration to give hitters an amazing feel, shot after shot! The CF5 also features Half and Half Technology that redistributes weight to give the bat optimal balance. This gives younger players the ability to swing faster with less effort; ultimately resulting in more power! DeMarini: Insane Dedication to Performance! The CF5 is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Cons:
by destroyer - Feb 12, 2012
Pros: Bat is amazing. The pop off the bat is extraordinary. The whole team wanted to use the bat. I have been using it for 6 months now, and still no deterioration. Hasnt lost pop. its actually gained pop. The bat is composite, but it sounds like aluminum. wierd. Overall great bat. would recommend over any senior league bat on the market.
Cons: grip is short and knob rubs on hand
by Proud dad - Apr 05, 2012
Pros: My eleven year old played his first major league tournament and smacked the first pitch he saw to left center for a triple. Next game he homered to right center. Great way to join a new team.
Cons: Bat cracked in second game. Amazon overnighted a new one.
by LnL - Feb 13, 2012
Pros: This bat is to good to be true. I have used the cf4, and the cf5 blast of the chart as the best bat. It sounds different than other composite bats, almost alumonum. Lighter than any other 30 20 big barrel
Cons: none
by coach green - Apr 17, 2012
Pros: I cannot believe the hype in this bat?? I bought for my 10 yr old son(travel ball) and it hit dead. Stayed with it for a month hopeing that it just needed to break in like most composites.Every bat in my bag out performs it. I should have found a stick and saved my $300!!
Cons: Piece of junk
by OppoTaco - Apr 18, 2012
Pros: This is a great bat! My son loves the balanced feel and has a faster swing speed with this bat (29/19) vs his lighter little league bats! The bat feels very solid and he has no complaints of excessive vibration/hands stinging. The ball seems to jump off this bat! We also have a CF4 2 1/4 (29/18) and this CF5 hits the ball much faster and farther....very pleased!
Cons: None
by hitter - Apr 21, 2012

by not as good as other bbcor - May 04, 2012
Pros: this bat has a decent amount of pop.
Cons: When hitting the bat on the barrel it feels like you are hitting it on the inside handle. I have been a huge CF4 fan but the BBCOR CF5 is not nearly as good. A suggestion would be to get the Maruuci Black or RIP-IT both good selections

Cons: The price but it's worth it
by RealBatReviews - Aug 07, 2011
Pros: to begin with,this bat has a tough match to beat. the cf4st was one of the top bats of all time. that bat raised expectations for the upcoming cf5. the cf5 is not the same as the cf4st, but compares fairly. it has good pop when his on the sweet spot, and a comfortable grip. the cf5 is a great new choice for the new rules in bats, and would be a wise choice for someone abiding by the rules.
Cons: doesnt have nearly as much pop when hit off the center of the barrel.
by m t v - Feb 11, 2012

Ask our community of experts and receive an answer within 24 hours.
Ask QuestionMy son is currently swinging an older -10 Vexxum but it seems to be losing its pop (after 1.5 years). He is a contact hitter with a decent amount of power. His one complaint with the Vexxum is it feels a little more end loaded to him. In looking to replace it, we looked into the CF5. With that is this bat similar in feel to the Vexxum or a little more balanced than the Vexxum?
Asked by Tom on May 14, 2012
The 2012 DeMarini CF5 will be more balanced than the Demarini Vexxum.
· May 14, 2012
Would you be able to use it in 13u Babe Ruth league, and does it have good pop?
Asked by Jackson on Apr 28, 2012
Under Babe Ruth's current rules for their age division that allows youth big barrel bats, this one is not legal because it has a composite hitting surface. You can use any bat with an alloy barrel. If you want to use a bat with a composite barrel, it must be an BBCOR certified Adult -3 baseball bat. The bat does have a good amount of pop and a balanced feel
· Apr 29, 2012
Are all senior league bats legal in Babe Ruth 13-15 league?
Asked by brandon on Apr 20, 2012
Only Senior League bats with an alloy barrel are allowed in Babe Ruth 13-15. Composite barrel bats like the 2012 DeMarini CF5 must be BBCOR certified in Babe Ruth 13-15 division.
· Apr 20, 2012
I'm looking for a new big barrel. I like the Easton S1 and I hit pretty decent with it. I'm 12years old 5 foot 3 and 105 pounds. I'm a contact hitter but would like to hit for power. Which bat is better for me: Demarini CF5(-10), Easton S1(-10), Anderson Ignite(-10), Easton S2(-10), or Easton XL1(-10)?
Asked by jeremy on Apr 18, 2012
If you are a contact hitter looking for increased power, the S1 will probably be your top choice. It is a two piece bat with a light swing weight with very good pop. All of those bats are great though!
· Apr 18, 2012
Does the new 1.15 stamp bat still have very good pop?
Asked by double duece on Apr 02, 2012
The DXCFX with the new BPF 1.15 stamp still has excellent pop.
· Apr 02, 2012
Does this bat need to be broken in? I just bought this bat for my 10 yr old son and it does not seem to have the pop his 2009 Voodoo had. This new bat was a little pricey so I'm hoping it will get better the more he uses it. Can you please let me know? Thank you.
Asked by Dean on Mar 25, 2012
The CF5 is a full composite design that does require a break in period of about 200-300 hits off of it. during the break in you would need to rotate the bat about a quarter of a turn to make sure and take hits off every side of the bat. Here is the link to view more details about this bat. http://www.justbats.com/product/2012-demarini-cf5--dxcfx-senior-league/13538/

Asked by bigmam on Mar 25, 2012
Yes, the Demarini CF5 is Little League approved
· Mar 25, 2012
My coaches said you cant use this in junior legion because it has a composite handle.
Asked by doc man on Mar 22, 2012
This bat would not be legal in a Junior League. Not due to the composite handle, but because it has a composite barrel. All composite barreled bats used in Junior or Senior Little League, must be BBCOR certified. Senior league bats will not have that certification; only adult -3 bats will.
· Mar 22, 2012
Is this bat legal for 13 year old Babe Ruth?
Asked by edwardo on Mar 15, 2012
Based on the information I have, this bat would not be legal for use in a 13 year old Babe Ruth league. This bat is a two piece composite and has a composite barrel. The rules for the 13-15 Babe Ruth division state, "Only composite barrel bats certified and marked BBCOR .50 will be allowed." This bat is not BBCOR certified, as only adult -3 bats will have that certification.
· Mar 15, 2012
How do I break in this bat?
Asked by Steve on Mar 08, 2012
We suggest taking about 150-200 hits either off of a tee or soft toss, starting out at about 40% power and increasing the closer you get to the 200 hit mark. Also, make sure you are using the same balls you would use in a game and are rotating the bat about a 1/4 of an inch in between each hit to ensure an even break in around the entire barrel of the bat.

· Mar 04, 2012
What is the break in period for CF5 and how do you break in?
Asked by Lyle on Feb 29, 2012
A good break in consists of taking about 150-200 hits of a batting tee. Start off at about 40% power and gradually increase. Also, be sure to rotate the bat a quarter of an inch in your hands between each hit. After that, you should be ready to face live pitching.
· Feb 29, 2012
Are there any similar, high quality, less expensive bats that are approved by the USSSA?
Asked by Bat Troubles on Feb 20, 2012
The Worth 454 and Easton Omen are a few bats that come to mind that are a little cheaper and approved for USSSA.
· Feb 20, 2012
Do the 2 5/8 big barrel bats have more pop than the same 2 1/4 bats, and if not, whats the advantages of a big barrel?
Asked by John on Feb 20, 2012
They don't necessarily provide more pop, they just have a larger hitting surface. Less room or error you could say.
· Feb 20, 2012
Can you compare the cf5 to the s2 please?
Asked by stud muffin on Feb 18, 2012
The CF5 is a awesome full composite bat that will require a break in period. The S2 is also a good pick, it differs a little with its hybrid construction.
· Feb 18, 2012
Can I hit this bat in cold weather? Thank you
Asked by Ball Game on Feb 15, 2012
Yes, you can hit any bat in cold weather, the cold weather just makes the ball harder which can dent or crack the bats easier. It is recommended to use this bat in temperatures higher than 50 degrees.
· Feb 15, 2012
Can this bat be used in Babe Ruth baseball?
Asked by Sweetness on Feb 09, 2012
It depends on what division your son plays in. You can visit their website for clarification: http://www.baberuthleague.org/side-indexes/latest-rule-changes.html
· Feb 10, 2012
How is the bat in the cold? I live in Colorado and start Tourney play in Feb-March. Will it hold up to weather in the 30's & 40's? Or should I go with the Voodoo? What do you recommend Composite or Alloy?
Asked by JMVP on Feb 08, 2012
It is not recommended to use any bat in temperatures below 50-55 degrees. The lower temperatures effect the balls, and not necessarily the bat and there is a higher number of damaged bats reported in these temperatures. This doesn't mean you absolutely shouldn't use it in these temperatures, it is just recommended to try to limit your bats use.
· Feb 09, 2012
What is the break in timefor this bat.
Asked by jamie on Feb 07, 2012
We recommend you take approximately 100-200 swings off soft toss or a tee. Rotate the barrel about a 1/4 inch each swing. We advise you do not use the bat in a cage that uses yellow dimpled balls.
· Feb 07, 2012
Is this bat legal for Babe Ruth and Junior Little League?
Asked by chris on Feb 04, 2012

how does the cf5 compare with the TPXZ1000
Asked by Nino on Feb 03, 2012
These are both good bats and will have good pop. These bats will be 100% composite and have a large sweet spot. This will be more on what you like as these are very similar bats.
· Feb 03, 2012

Asked by Angel on Feb 01, 2012
Youth indicates that the bat is a 201-4 inch barrel. Senior league is for 2 5/8 and 2 3/4 barrels.
· Feb 01, 2012
Having a difficult time deciding between the cf5 and Vexxum. Which bat, in your opinion, has more "pop" and what size would you recommend for my son, he is 9 y/o, 53" and 60 lbs? Thanks
Asked by Shell on Feb 01, 2012
These are very good options. The CF5 has a composite barrel and will have a more end loaded feel to it due to the barrel. The Vexxum will have a more balanced feel due to the alloy barrel.

With the new bat rules in Pony, is this bat approved for use in Pony baseball?
Asked by two Teams on Jan 16, 2012
According to the most recent info given to us, yes this bat is legal for Pony, but to be safe, I would double check with your specific league, as many leagues have their own amendments to the general Pony league rules.

My son is small for his age (4'10" 80 lbs 13 y/o). What size cf5 would you recommend?
Asked by JPG on Jan 09, 2012
Based on his height and weight I would recommend a 30/20.
· Jan 10, 2012
Hi -- My kid has been using a smaller barrel bat CF4 for the last two years (29" 18) as our association did not allow larger barrels. we now can use large barrels and need BBcor and USSA stamp on the bat. He is now 12 years old -- would a 30"20 oz bat be good for him now in your opinion?
Asked by kfishedina on Jan 09, 2012
The only bats that will be BBCOR certified are the adult -3 bats, which would put him at like a 32 inch 28 ounces. The way the rule reads is the bat must be bbcor OR USSSA 1.15 bpf. Going with the USSSA would allow him to use the -10 30-20. The size he would need is dependent on his height and weight.
· Jan 09, 2012
what is the differences between the -8 and the -10? Is it only the obvious 2 ounces? Is the balance the same?
Asked by Tim on Dec 29, 2011
Yes that is correct. The 2 ounces will be the difference. The balance of these bats will be similar to each other.
· Dec 29, 2011
would you perfer cf5 or combat b3?
Asked by snake on Dec 28, 2011
Depends on what type of hitter the player is. A stronger hitter may prefer the B3 since it is a stiffer, one-piece bat. A contact or gap hitter may prefer the CF5 as it is a two-piece bat that offers more flex.
· Dec 29, 2011
what about cold weather use thanks
Asked by pete on Dec 27, 2011
DeMarini recommends that their bats not be used when it is below 60 or 55 degrees outside.
· Dec 27, 2011
I bought this bat for my son a couple of months ago. He loves the bat. It is approved for USSSA in 2012 according to your site and it does have the stamp on it. The stamp on his bat smeared to point where it is difficult to read. He is starting a USSSA league this January. I was wondering how we could get a new legible stamp if we run into problems with him being allowed to use the bat.
Asked by Johnnymy on Dec 22, 2011
It should be etched into the bat enough that the umpires will know it is a legit stamp. If you do have doubts, due to the rules,we here, are unable to add stamps, it would have to come from the manufacturer.
· Dec 22, 2011
My son is 11, 5' 105 lbs. Ive narrowed it down to this bat or the Easton S2. He needs to increase his at speed. Looking for the best bat for his size as well.
Asked by Kat on Dec 15, 2011
Both bats are going to be very good options. The CF5 has very good pop and will have a huge sweet spot. The S2 will have a lighter feel and has an alloy barrel with good pop.
· Dec 15, 2011
Will my 13yr old be able to use this bat in BabeRuth baseball or is it illegal under BabeRuth Rules?
Asked by Jack on Dec 15, 2011
This bat has the USSSA 1.15 BPF stamp that the Babe Ruth league requires.
· Dec 15, 2011
Looking at either the CF5, CF4, Combat B3 or Marucci Black; not really sure which one to get at this point; this is for a 12 year old, 5'2" good contact hitter with me with some power; thanks
Asked by jim on Dec 13, 2011
Any one of those would work well for him.
· Dec 13, 2011
my son is 12 and wants to switch to a heavier bat. he swings a ls vertex 9.5. he is very interested in the demarini cf5. he wants a little more weight in the barrel. would this be a good choice for him. he wants a 31-23. he is 5-4 weights 125>
Asked by t-bone on Dec 12, 2011
This is a very good bat and will have great pop. Check out the DXCFR as that will be the bat you're looking for. This bat is a -10 and will be lighter.
· Dec 12, 2011
The Demarini bats we've used in the past have always been heavier than the stated weight. Can you tell me if the CF4 and CF5 are true to weight, or are they 1-2 ounces heavier than marked?
Asked by Craig on Dec 07, 2011
A little background... all bats are weighed prior to the final stages of production. This means a manufacturer will obtain a weight of a bat prior to the addition of the grip, decals, final coat of paint, and sometimes the end-cap and knob. However, to my knowledge, the DXCFX is true to weight and shouldn't be too much over the advertised weight.

Trying to decide between the CF5 and Voodoo. Any thoughts?
Asked by BB on Dec 06, 2011
Both are great, but I would lean towards the CF5. The CF5 is DeMarini's top of the line bat. I would give it a leg up in terms of performance.

What is the difference between the -8 drop and -10 drop? Which choice is best for an 11 year old? Or how do I know which to select?
Asked by IXFEDAD on Nov 30, 2011
If he is a strong 11 yr old, then I would go with the -8. General rule of thumb is you want them to swing the heaviest bat possible when they start getting around 11-12yrs old, to prepare for the required -3 when they get to high school.

Is this the best bat on the market? If not what is?
Asked by Evizzy24 on Nov 28, 2011
Impossible to say which is best, since each bat aids different types of batters. The play to the batters strengths and weaknesses. So depending on the batting ability of your player, determines the bat best for him.

Asked by Evizzy24 on Nov 23, 2011
Yes. This bat will be a good choice. Both types of hitters can use this bat due to the composite materials. Some power hitters may like a one-piece design.

Is this bat better than the b3? I am a power hitter and for me it does not matter about the weight. Which has more 'pop'?
Asked by Dodgerblue on Nov 19, 2011
They are both great bats and will have similar amounts of pop. It really just goes down to personal preference

Asked by Amy J on Nov 19, 2011
For the CF5 I would look at either a 30" 20oz or a 31" 21oz.

Is the cf5 legal in senior league where I play in texas they are 13-14 yrs old
Asked by freddy31 on Oct 27, 2011
Each league is different, I would suggest you contact your local league official for clarification. It does have the USSSA stamp if your league requires the stamp.
· Oct 28, 2011
Which bat is better and has more pop? the voodo or the omen or the cf5
Asked by Andy on Oct 24, 2011
Tough call, each one offers something different. The CF5 is a 2 piece all composite bat that has great pop. The Omen also, is a 2 piece composite, but has the low MOI for a lighter swing. Voodoo is a 2 piece with the composite handle and alloy barrel, that also has awesome pop. Really comes down to preference.

We play in ks and the weather in march and april can get very cold. Would this bat be able to hold up against the extreme weather. Thanks ks
Asked by Tater on Oct 15, 2011

I just read all bats used in USSSA must have the "new" USSSA stamp on it for next year and the old stamp will not be accepted. Will this bat have the "new" stamp and what other bats will have this.
Asked by steve on Oct 10, 2011
Most all of the 2012 bats have the 1.15 BPF stamp for USSSA on them. The CF5 definitely does have it.
· Oct 10, 2011
You are telling people incorrect information! Pony allows all senior league bats that have a barrel size no bigger than 2 5/8" and that is there only restriction at this time.
Asked by Bsblljnky5 on Sep 26, 2011
I stand corrected, I looked on the Pony website and you are correct. I thought they adhered to the Little League rules, which do only allow the small barrel. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.

Yes, there is a 2 1/4 barrel version of the CF5, the model number is the DXCFL.

Asked by Jake on Sep 22, 2011
The CF5 is not approved for Pony leagues, which requires a 2 1/4 inch barrel. An appropriate lenth for a youth player of that height and weight is anywhere from 30-32 inches.

Hi what bat should i get i am 12 i am 5 ft and i play usssa so i need a stamp,i am a lefty but i dont now if that matters?
Asked by sluugggerr on Sep 18, 2011
That's a good questions that ultimately comes down to your personal preference. A few of the top Big Barrel bats out there with the USSSA stamp are the DeMarini CF5, Easton Omen, DeMarini Voodoo, Worth Lithium Edge Prodigy, Louisville Exogrid, Easton Rival, and Marucci Cat 5.
· Sep 19, 2011
im stuck is a cf5 worth all the more $ than like a surge or marucci?
Asked by pop on Sep 18, 2011
CF5 is a 2 piece all composite bat, slight end weight. Surge is a 2 Piece composite handle and alloy barrel, balanced bat. Cat 5 is a 1 piece all aluminum, very nice balance. Each one offers something different. So it will depend on your preference.
· Sep 20, 2011
My son is small for his age. Currently using a DeMarini Voodo 28/17. Would the Vexxum in a 28/18 be better for him or the CF 5 in 29/19?
Asked by Jman on Sep 17, 2011
That's difficult to answer without being able to see him swing. If he has good swing speed and bat control with the 28/17, then I would recommend moving him up at least to an 18 ounce bat. I would recommend having him swing an 18 and 19 ounce bat first. If he still has good bat speed and control with a 19 ounce, then it wouldn't hurt to go that route.
· Sep 20, 2011
Hi, how does the cf5 compare with the voodoo
Asked by Lucky luke on Sep 10, 2011
The cf5 is Demarini's full composite 2 piece bat. The Voodoo is their two piece hybrid bat. It has a composite handel and a high performing sc4 alloy barrel.
· Sep 10, 2011
is it legal for dixie youth ozone level baseball for 2012. my son is 11 years old. thank you for your respone.
Asked by sam on Sep 09, 2011
This bat does have the USSSA 1.15 BPF stamp on the barrel of the bat. In most leagues this bat would then be legal. I would recommend getting a hold of the coach or the head of the league to find out what the rules of the league are.
· Sep 09, 2011
Want your true opinion....DF5 or Omen....which is better?
Asked by OCAngel on Sep 09, 2011
These both are going to be 2 of the best bats on the market. The Omen is going to have a little more pop. The CF5 is going to have more durability. You cant go wrong with either bat.
· Sep 09, 2011
Does DeMarini make this bat in a 28/18?
Asked by OCAngel on Sep 09, 2011
This bat is not made in a 28/18. The sizes that we show on our website are the only sizes that this bat comes in. 29/19, 30/20, 31/21, and 32/22 are the sizes that we have in this bat.

My son used the CF4 -11 for little league and is now transitioning to Babe ruth with a big barrel. What should he be looking for in weight? He used a 19oz 2 1/4 bat.
Asked by Bruce on Jul 25, 2011
I would recommend moving up an ounce in weight. Definitely don't go down in weight. A general rule of thumb is you want to move up an ounce in weight every season.
