| Monday, July 18, 2005 | | Distance | 9 | If you enjoyed hitting the older Double Wall Distance models, you would like this one. Once this bad boy is broken in (100+ smashes) the ball really jumps off the bat. Dont forget to rotate when your doing this or youll end up with some waves/dent on your favorite spot. Not the best, but pretty close to what Demarini puts out there.

| Wednesday, May 5, 2004 | | Distance | 9.5 | Great bat! I'd put it up agaist the Freak any day. I rate the distance a 9.5 because the only true 10 out there is the Ultra.I love the way it swings, it has an end-load kind of feel to it, like an EST. The only negative thing I can say is that after only 50 swings with 375 comp. balls it has a small wave.

| Friday, April 9, 2004 | | Distance | 10 | Oh man this this bat sweet! My brother got his last week and he let me borrow it for my intramural league games. I have a decent amount of power but I tell you what, I crushed, and then some, the ball with this bat. All in all, this bat is almost a must for any softball player. I let my team use it and we crushed just about everything. Good thing it was like 67F outside when we played so we avoided putting dents into the bat =)

I can hit homers at 350 with no problem. It took a bit to break in but now look out. 2004 will be a dominating season for me! Thanks so much deMarini!!!!

| Thursday, March 11, 2004 | | Distance | 10 | This isn't even fair. I'm 5'9" and 210lbs, when I step up to bat, most out-fielders come in on me but after I hit with this bat, they back up! It is very easy to hit 350ft shots now. The team I play for didn't know I bought one and the first time I stepped up to hit, just rocked one over left. Many of the guys want one now. This bat will help any size player. It's funny when the outfield backs up and then you crush one even farther. A must have for any kind of player. Good job DeMarini!

| Thursday, February 19, 2004 | | Distance | 10 | this bat takes the average player to the next level. the sweet spot is huge and the distance is unmatched. the ball comes off the bat with great velocity and turns the hot corner over quickly. great bat for single user, not great as multi-user bat.

Guess I had to get a feel for her. She feels real good when contact is made. You can feel the distance of the hit when contact is made, well I can. No problem clearing 325'.

| Sunday, November 2, 2003 | | Distance | 10 | This was the first bat that I actually bought for myself. I used to use the team bats which were 5 years old and didn't have any pop in them or anything. One of the leagues I play in is lob ball and we have 260 ft fences and used to hit home runs no problem with the old bats, but one day I used a 2003 F2 and I barely even swung and the ball landed close to the fence. I figured I would buy the 2004 F2 and try it out. I gave it a long break in period, about 100-125 cuts, and was hitting home runs with out even swinging the full strength. The other feild we play in has a 260 ft fence, but has 75 ft net over the homerun area, and now that the bat is broken in I'm clearing the net with no problems. I'm 6'0 280 pounds and I'm hitting near 375 ft shots with this bat. I dont think I will switch to anything else.

I have 20 hrs in 30 games between my 2 leagues. Only dissappointment is that it dented in 80 degree weather. I highly recommend this bat

| Sunday, October 5, 2003 | | Distance | 10 | Definitely a powerful bat! Only an 8 on durability. I have only used it 2 months and already am developing a flat spot. The 2003 F2 was definitely a more durable bat. Just be sure not to share since the bat won't last that long.

| Thursday, September 4, 2003 | | Distance | 10 | I have purchase 5 bats this year, Demarini Demolition, Anderson RT, Miken U2, Synergy 2nd batch, and Demarini F2 2004 model. All these bats are within 5% of each other except the MIken U2. Since the U2 is a dead issue I will not bring it up in this bat test. I do not judge a bat how for I can hit the ball one time. But how for I can hit it with consistency. With all the bats I have (some not included) I have found the Demarini F2 2004 model to be the most consistent bat I have. In fact before I hit with it I took a ball and bounce it several times off the barrel and I knew this bat was hot. The F2 was hot right out of the wrapper. I like this bat some much I'm thinking about getting another one. I have 100's of hits off this bat and so for there's no waves or dents etc. This bat feels like an extension of my arm. That what Wilson says and that's the truth. I'm in my mid 50's and if this bat feels good to an old man, what will it feel like to you young bucks

Before this bat i rarely could clear the 300ft fence i have played three games and homered in all three games and my line drives are uncatchcable shots. i have tried the rockettech and tech zilla and unless u already hit 300 ft shots its just not worth it this f2 has it all for being a legal bat.

| Saturday, August 9, 2003 | | Distance | 10 | I bought this bat about a week ago. My first 3 hits were hrs. This bat feels really good in my hands and swings just a bit heavy. This bat is well worth the 250 I paid for it. I haven't swung a U-2 or synergy,but as far as aluminum bats go...it's the best out there hands down. It will be the best bat players can buy next year..because composites will be banned.

We try not to hit the ball out, (practice bat control); However with this ridiculous bat, its nearly impossible. It does swing like a natural extension of your arm. A guy on my team who usually hits like a 10 year old with a broken hand, Hit one almost 330. I recommend this bat to everyone.
