2011 CF4 ST -10 WTDXCFPHittin' Bombs Into the Parking Lot. For 2011, the CF4 ST has been taken to a new level. The mad scientists atDeMarini have amped up the awesome power of their Pitch Black Plus composite by adding twice the Silver Tracebonding agent making a stronger, stiffer bat. That means the sweet spot has been extended further down the barrelthan ever before and DeMarini's high quality composite material means thinner barrel walls, bonded in a Stacked wallbarrel design that creates a dynamic springboard hitting surface. With the bigger sweet spot, the CF4 -10 is becomingthe weapon of choice to bring to the plate.

2011 CF4 ST -9 WTDXCFFThe Way to a Women's Heart. Redefining what elite collegiate and high school players demand from an all compositebat, the new CF4 for 2011 adds twice the Silver Trace bonding agent to the both the barrel and handle, making astronger, stiffer bat. The sweet spot has been extended further down the barrel than ever before. With the bigger sweetspot, and end loaded feel, you'll love bringing this power machine to the plate. While the CF4 is designed to flex andrecoil through the swing, the DeMarini exclusive Pitch Black Plus stacked composite material gives the player thefeeling of a stiffer and stronger bat. When the impact energy attempts to escape, the Clutch 2 Endcap send it back intothe barrel, launching the ball from the surface of the bat.

2011 CF4 ST -8 WTDXCF8Act like a lady.

The sweetspot has been extended further down the barrel than ever before. With the bigger sweet spot, and end loaded feel, you'll lovebringing this power machine to the plate.

2011 CF4 ST INSANE -10 WTDXCFIInsane End Loaded Feel. Seeking to level up your hitting performance, but you aren't quite ready to graduate to thenext weight drop? Look no further than the CF4 Insane. Built for the player seeking extra power in their swing,DeMarini has moved the evenly distributed weight all the way to the end of the barrel. If you're a power hitter, moremass at full extension results in additional swing speed at contact giving you more power and more distance. Inaddition to doubling the amount of Silver Trace bonding agents in the Pitch Black Plus stacked composite andextending the sweet spot towards the handle, DeMarini's designed hubcap redirects the outgoing energy back intothe barrel.

The new 2011 Z-1000 Slowpitch bat features the Inner Socket Technology (iST) that is designed to maintain handle stiffness while joining the barrel andhandle together, providing players with a great solid feel and larger sweet spot. Vibration from a miss hit is absorbed before it reaches a player’s hands.Without the worry of sting or vibration from “off sweetspot hits” a player can maintain acceleration through impact for increased and more consistentperformance.

The ASA approved SB11Z also features the new Swing 1 inner Disc Technology (S1iD) that allows the barrel to flex to its maximum allowable performance levelfrom SWING 1. This bat is “Game Ready” from the time you take off the wrapper. The two inner discs are positioned inside the barrel at the sweet spot to stopthe barrel from flexing past the performance limit, giving players maximum allowable performance. Precise positioning of iD within the barrel also allows us tobring up the performance around the sweet spot – which means you get a larger performing sweet spot, not just a better feeling one. The Z-1000 is available in both ASA certified (SB11Z; 34”/26 oz., 34”/27 oz., 34”/28 oz., 34”/30 oz.) and two non-ASA versions, balanced (SB11ZB; 34”/26 oz.,34”/27 oz., 34”/28 oz., 34”/30 oz.) and end loaded (SB11ZE; 34”/26 oz., 34”/27 oz., 34”/28 oz., 34”/30 oz.).
