Cons: None
by Bulldog - Apr 07, 2012
Pros: Great bat with good pop! My little leaguer loves it.
Cons: None that we have seen so far.
by Hatfield - Mar 12, 2012
Pros: Tried it once it seems better the easton reflex. It makes nice sound and grip is good. My son likes it
Cons: None so far.
by TheArtfulDodger - Apr 08, 2012
Pros:
Cons: Large dent on the first at-bat of the first game it was used in, large enough that the bat could not be used again. I'm returning that bat to DeMarini and here looking for a bat that will last more than 1 game.
by Muckdogs - Mar 31, 2012
Pros: Purchased for machine pitch. Good bat no sting in hands and good ball reaction. Nice deal great price.......
Cons: none
by MikeN - Mar 21, 2012
Pros: Good bat for the price. Son is moving up from a 28†Reflex (nice and light) to at 29†Distance. Size and weight differences aside, I think the Demarini provides better pop. He does not complain about sting with the shock system. Eventually plan to get a more expensive composite bat and use the Distance for batting cage use.
Cons: Grip can leave a sticky feel without gloves on.
by Tarzan - Mar 29, 2012
Pros: Has good pop..large sweet spot
Cons: Dents too easily,didn't last a month....may be better for contact hitters.. believe the reviews about dents. my son's is dented even though he rotated each time at plate and cage.

Pros:
Cons: Dents much too easily. My 10yr old, 80lb son dented 2 of of these bats off pitches in the batting cage rendering them illegal.

Ask QuestionIs this a balanced or end loaded bat? Thanks!
Asked by DC on Apr 30, 2012
The weight in the 2012 DeMarini Distance is pretty evenly distributed. This will give the bat a pretty balanced feel.

How come this says USSSA approved but I don't see the stamp? Do I need a certificate to prove to umps this is approved or will they know without the stamp?
Asked by paulsmn on Apr 19, 2012
Small barrel bats don't have to have the USSSA thumbprint stamp until 2014. Only the USSSA BPF 1.15 mark on the barrel of the bat is required for play in 2012. The 2012 DeMarini Distance is legal in 2012.
· Apr 19, 2012
what's the difference between last year and this year's model?
Asked by sopapia on Dec 27, 2011
There really isn't going to be much of a difference between the 2011 and 2012 Distance. DeMarini did work to improve the durability of the bat while maintaing the same performance.
· Dec 27, 2011
Is this BB Cor??
Asked by JJ on Dec 13, 2011
This bat has the USSSA 1.15 BPF stamp, it it not BBCOR. No 2 1/4" barrel will ever be a BBCOR as they are youth bats. BBCOR is only adult size bats.
