Our Review
DeMarini's priciest bat is back with new graphics at $449.95, right alongside the Easton Project 3 ADV, Slugger 919, and Rawlings Quatro Pro. If you've swung a composite DeMarini before, expect the same results. I was a little surprised to feel some vibration, though it's minimal. Personally I enjoy the feel of the 919 more.
