Engineered for softball’s most powerful players to launch extra-base hits with a long-lasting bat, the 2023 DeMarini CF (-8) Fastpitch Bat delivers reliable performance and monumental strength. Returning its signature Paraflex® Plus Composite Barrel, the technology made famous by its consistent output and forgiving feel, CF (-8) features a massive sweet spot to crush the ball for extra bases. The CF (-8) offers a stiff feel to complement a hitter’s natural strength and generate game-altering exit velocities. A Direct Connection pairs the composite barrel with a Paraflex® Plus Composite Handle to maintain swing speeds and maximize power from foul pole to foul pole. CF offers a balanced swing weight and the most forgiving feel in the DeMarini lineup, resulting in total barrel control.
