Pros: alot of pop and balance
Cons: none so far
Pros: I'm actually a kid and I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cons: YEAH RIGHT -NONE-
Pros: This bat is great for kids, i am one so i would know, has great pop and u can really drive the ball far. Greatly priced and this is a great buy!
Cons: A little heavy for this length
Pros: Nice bat for the price and I like the two tone batting tape. Like the paint scheme. I would recommend this bat for anyone.
Cons: Doesn't have the best sound when hit on sweet spot almost like it cracked
Pros: Price was right, but maybe for a reason.
Cons: It sounds like it's broke if you don't hit it exactly on the sweet spot. The ump stopped the game because he thought it was broke after a foul ball and again later in the game when jammed. I realize it isn't going to go anywhere when jammed, but it shouldn't sound like it's broke.
Pros: ITS A BEAST
Cons: NONE
Pros: One solid bat. Very well balanced.
Cons:

Asked by woodman on Apr 01, 2012
The Demarini Distance is approved, and features the USSSA stamp on the 28" and 30" models. The 29" model doesn't feature the stamp, so it wouldn't be legal for play in 2012. Here is the link to the DXDSR to view more features on this model. http://www.justbats.com/product/2012-demarini-distance--dxdsr-senior-league/14264/

is the 31 inch allowed for babe ruth play 15u?
Asked by GreeneMachine on Mar 16, 2012
Yes. It absolutely is legal in Babe Ruth play.
Tyler Expert · Mar 16, 2012
Pony (pinto) rules states that bats may be 2 5/8 in diameter but not stamped tee ball or coach pitch (unless using safety ball). I assume Senior league bats are allowed??? Can you please clarify before I purchase.
Asked by Jawaiian on Feb 21, 2012
The DXDSR is not a coach pitch or tee ball bat and may be used in Pony League.
Kara Expert · Feb 21, 2012
Yes, Senior League bats will be allowed. Senior League means big barrel bats. Some Senior League bats will have 2 3/4" barrels, please make sure to read the features before purchasing.

Why would the 29 inch not have the stamp?
Asked by Jrod on Jan 23, 2012
For some reason at this point in time (1/23/2012) the models we received from Demarini do not have the stamp in the 29".
John Expert · Jan 23, 2012
Does the 30/22 have the USSSA 1.15 stamp on it?
Asked by Ryan on Jan 23, 2012
The 30" and 28" bats we have in stock are stamped, the 29"'s are not.
Shelbe Expert · Jan 23, 2012
There is no USSSA or 1.15 bpf stamp on my son's 31/23 2012 DeMarini "Distance." Am I out of Luck?
Asked by Patrick on Jan 01, 2012
We suggest contacting DeMarini with this issue and they may be able to send you a bat with that stamp.
KG Expert · Jan 03, 2012
I purchased a "2011 DeMarini Distance" 31/23 last fall for son. It has no USSA Stamp. Is it Legal?
Asked by Patrick on Dec 28, 2011
Even though it doesn't have the exact USSSA stamp, it should have the 1.15BPF stamp on it. The information given to us says, if the bat has the 1.15bpf stamp it will be grandfathered in and be legal in 2012, but ALL bats will be required to have the USSSA stamp by 2013.
Linda Expert · Dec 28, 2011
Just received this bat, and there is not a USSSA 1.15 stamp on it. It says in the features it has one and is legal. Is that correct and I was just sent the wrong bat? I will be returning it, just need to know if I need to look at a different bat.
Asked by Fred on Dec 14, 2011
Currently the stamp is only on the 28/20oz. The 29" does not have the stamp.
KG Expert · Dec 14, 2011
Where does this bat rank in the scheme of things?
Asked by Mark on Nov 22, 2011
Quite honestly, it is one of DeMarini's mid range bats. Since it's a -8, and it is more than likely a transitional bat. Gradually preparing for the -3 you have to swing in high school. It's a one piece all alloy, it has a good pop, and would be good for a transition.
