DeMarini Maple Wood Bat: DX243 Adult

Pros: Good Solid Bat. Great Weight and has good pop! I recommend this bat for those in wooden bat leagues.

Cons: NONE SO FAR.

Pros: Hits extremely well. Light, durable (so far) big barrel. Simply the best wooden bat I have every had

Cons: slippery handle but pine-tar or a grip is easy

Pros: this bat is sweet i went to a wood bat tourney and hit one 400 ft. i also hit 5 home runs is 3 games with it it is good never breaks and is light wight

Cons: you will need to buy some pine tar or some tape it is slippery

Pros: this is one of the best bats i've ever had wood or aluminum. This is a good bat to get.

Cons: The handle is slippery

Pros: Good bat for transitioning from aluminum to wood, especially for the younger player, aged 13-15. Weight being placed in the end makes for good power transition to ball. Balls hit between the logo and on pro maple emblem are true. Warranty really hold up. Bat lasted an entire season in 25 and up mens league before breaking, in a season on 25 games. No fear of breaking bat on inside pitches.

Cons: Hard to go from all wood back down to composite bat. Found bat to be light in hands afterwards. If you swing a -3 you might consider going up an additional inch in length for this bat to adjust to wood bat weights. I use 33" wood and 34" Pro Maple now.

Pros: This is the bat for you power hitters. Its end loaded with great feel. I use the DX110 but also have this one. All the power hitters on my mens league use this one.

Cons: Slippery handle.

Pros: This bat is awesome. I have played amateur baseball for 5 years now and have always used real Maple bats before trying out this composite. This year, with this bat, I have hit 3 home runs, 9 doubles, 5 triples, with a .451 average and .770 SLG% leading our league in AVG and SLG%. My highlights with this bat include a 430 foot home run to left center (fence was 400 to center, 465 to left center).

Cons: No cons. I don't think this bat can break! I've had hits off the handle of this bat that surely would have broken the maple bats I've used in the past.

Pros: good bat use it for high school.Good bat 2 buy if u wanna save money because it dont break

Cons:

Pros: It is like driving a 4 cyclinder Accord, it does the job well with little flash. The feel off the bat is muted and the sound is muffled to a full maple bat, but pop is similar and as advertised it won't break. I have used it a lot in the cage and probably 75 game AB's. I figure it has saved me from breaking about 3 bats which is where the value is with this bat. I would buy it again if it broke

Cons: The cap showing length on the handle dissappeared sometime within warranty period. Didn't want to lose bat for a couple of weeks to get it replaced.

Pros: Very well balanced. Nice pop.

Cons:

Pros: great bat..best wood ive used so far

Cons: none...

Pros: great bat very durable

Cons:

Pros: Great wood bat. Best one I have used so far.

Cons:

Pros: The ball jumps off the bat nicely. The weight is distributed very well and is a true minus 3. It is holding up very well after several wood bat tournaments.

Cons: The grip is slippery but nothing some pine tar can't fix.

Pros: lots of pop for a wood bat i would recomend this for a power hitter love the weight destrobution

Cons: whats a concern

Pros: Great bat especialy if your trying to save money ive used the same bat for 2 seasons plus all my practices still has pop after about 5000 hits.

Cons: It looks like its been to hell and back twice very beat up

Pros: I did not know how far wood bat technology had advanced until I got the DX243. This thing is a trophy! It also hammers the baseball. Thanks for a superior product.

Cons: My only regret about this bat is that I did not have it during 1957 when I started 10th grade. That is not the bat's fault.

Pros: Pop is exceptional for wood. Our entire team uses thois bat for our legion games (not an exaggeration) and it hasnt broken and thats been about 1000 at bats and 100 jams atleast. and not even a crack.

Cons: You need to use Pine tar. A lot of it. It will slip out but if thats the only worry, Then this is one exceptional bat.

Pros: Nicely balanced and very good pop! Never thought I could like a non-metal bat but this is a great stick!

Cons: Having used metal for so long the handle without a grip felt somewhat slippery. I just bought a replacement grip for $5 and problem solved!

Pros: Great Bat, good feel, solid construction.

Cons: Check your local rules, bought it for a wood bat tournament and found that "composite" wood bats are not allowed. Bought an M9 instead

Pros: This a very durable, high-performance bat. It has an end-loaded feel with a moderate "sweet spot".

Cons: None.

Pros: great bat balance is nice end loaded for more of a power hitter last forever had mine for 2 years and playing in a wood bat league that played 5 times a week still has not broken worth the money

Cons: hard to get bat had around on a real fast pitcher (87mph)

Pros: Great bat last one I had lasted 3 years and I just bought a new one this year. I am still using the old one also.

Cons: nothing, but I did tape the handle

Cons: none so far

Pros: excellent service and I can't wait to use the bat.

Cons:

Pros: Beautiful bat with excellent balance and feel. Despite the sound off the bat, the ball comes off the bat nice.

Cons: Very slippery handle. I broke my first bat after 7 at bats on a pop-up to the pitcher. I broke the second bat after 5 at bats on a bloop to short. In total, between game time and batting practice I figure the total investment ended after a return of approximately $1.00 per hit. Kayla at Demarini replied to my e-mail request that chances of a second replacement were "very slim to none".

Pros: Good Bat. I use it in the cages during spring training down in orlando and it is great.

Cons:

Pros: great pop, swings great, don'f feel anything when you hit with it.

Cons: nothing so far.

Pros: lasts awhile, comes in the 271 model.

Cons: very very little pop

Pros: good look, comes in different models

Cons: no pop, sounds weird, breaks quick if u hit often. Just get a baum bat by the time u have to buy a 2nd one of these u couldve bought a baum and saved some money too

Pros: Well the bat is very smooth and it has a lot of power in it this bat won't brake in like a week.

Cons: Well the bat mite sting a lot

Pros: nice bat i hit one 300 feet and im only 5' 1" 97 pds and 13 years old

Pros: I have used this bat in highschool play for awhile. I hit the most homeruns on my team. In one of our "Elite" Tournaments, I went 9 for 9 in the championship game and hit for the cycle twice. Thank You Demarini!! youve given me the self esteem i need. Thanks again for saving my batting average.

Cons: NONE GREAT BAT.
