Distance10I'm not a big guy but the Juggy sure makes me hit like one. My first at bat with it was a homer that went about 310 feet. I didn't even have to swing hard. My next hit went to the warning track opposite field - and I hit it off the tip. This bat is awesome. I used to hit a Freak 98 and the Juggy puts it to shame. Get this bat before they disappear.

Distance9I like the balanced feel of the Juggy. I still have to remember to slow my swing down a bit. That's the only way I can get a good solid hit. I didn't realize that if you have to much bat speed the flex can't catch up, but when I do connect it hits some really nice shots. I would recommend if you have a lot of bat speed go as heavy as you can stand it. I swing the 28oz version and I still have to much bat speed for the flex.

Distance9.5Got this bat about a month ago, took some time to get used to the flex as I was using the 08' ASA red mayhem before this which is much stiffer. The Juggy is becoming red hot, took some time to break in but keeps getting better. Have a small vibration/rattle in it but it sounds like this is normal and not effecting performance. ALL IN ALL GREAT BAT.

Distance8.5By the end of my first batting seccion with the bat, something came loose inside and began to raddle( probably the weights ). Although the bat increased in the hitting ability as it broke in, the raddle became worst. The bat still hits with the best of expectations and Demarini is willing to fix it. But the fact is, is it's an inconvenience. A friend of mine bought the same bat with the same results. Is it just a coincidence? The bat hits excellent in the sweet spot but like most bats are unforgiving and will numb the hands if not. Even with the set backs I would still buy it again.

Distance10This is a great bat; out of the box I was hitting frozen ropes with the 'Juggy's' huge sweet spot. Even with the occasional miss of the usual sweet spot I was still punishing the ball. It took about 150 hits to get the bat to really warm up, but ever since unbelievable! This is a great bat, well balanced which allows control to take the ball deep oppo when they put a shift on to stop the slugfest.

Distance10I had the 2006 Evo and it hit very hard however it lasted only a year and a half! I got the 27 ounce version on ebay for $225 shipped. After 10 hits I flew one 300 feet off the wall!!! The Evo my longest HR was 285 maybe 290. This bat is hotter and a GREAT price!! By the way, I am only 5'7 175 pounds. You will love the Juggy!!!

Distance101 word to describe this bat, WHOA! I thought i would never find a bat to replace my miken freak. OH DID I! I am 6'3 and weigh in at 270lbs. I can park balls with a tree limb. The Juggy has got it all. For ASA players this bat is a must have to your dug out. Played my third game with the juggy tonight(in 40 degree weather) I was placing seeds of a 300 ft fence on a line. i am talking frozen ropes. not reaching more then 15 feet off the ground. And anything solid hit in the infield. Infielders could just forget about. They didnt even get a chance to move before the ball was catching the the outfield grass on fire. This bat is well worth the $300. GO GET ONE!

Distance9.5I have around 75 swings on this bat and it already has a rattle in it. It still hits liners and bombs with ease. I just dont understand the rattle so soon. I got this bat as a replacement for my EVO Ax which broke like a wood bat at the handle after taking one off the end of the bat. I saw two other people had the same problem. Has anyone else had this problem to?

Distance9This is a fantastic ASA bat.A buddy of mine purchased an ASA Wrath off ebay, and on a Friday night we were taking BP at a local diamond in an effort to get around 200 swings on it to break it in (as recommended) for a tournament we had the next day (1 day ASA tourny). The Wrath felt like a tire iron at first, but finally began to open up and felt fine and we started putting them over regularly. Unfortunately, it opened up too much and cracked that night. With nothing but dead aluminum ASA bats now in our bag (my nrg500 broke as well the year prior), we stopped off and grabbed a Juggernaut at the local sport store on the way home, not knowing what to expect out of it on Sat morning with zero swings to its name. Well, my first 3 at bats were all HR's, and my buddy hit 2 of 3 over the fence with his third hitting the fence (300ft fence). We are both the long ball hitters on the team, so it's not like we were floored to see the ball go over the fence. But we were both very pleasantly surprised at how much pop this ASA bat had right from the start, not to mention the very respectable distance - which is more comparable to the NSA bats than its direct ASA competition. Normally ASA's require a break in period due to the tuning and wall thickness, etc. But this guy was definitely active right from the start, and it really had a terrific sweet spot to it. Even the singles, line drive hitters on our teams enjoyed how well the ball jumped off this bat with their clean and level swings. These types of hitters let the bat do the work (this has a 3.5 level whip on this 2 piece, compared to a 3.0 on evo's, etc).I cannot really comment on the durability as we've only used it for 2 year-end ASA tourny's thus far, but I am very happy with this purchase. I do like this bat much better than the ASA Wrath we were using, and my NRG500 I had the year prior. The sweet spot was huge, all types of players enjoyed swinging this bat, and the distance again was very comparable to the NSA variety bats (I would buy a juggernaut over the juice for sure - which is a 1.20 NSA guy).thanks and good luck

Distance10Just got this bat in the mail yesterday. On my 2nd AB, I went yard(my 1st AB was a mishit that went to the fence) After having used end-loaded bats it takes some getting used to swinging a balanced bat again. The hits are solid, and the ball sounds great coming off the bat. Everyone that swung it says it feels good. I currently have the Juice, Mutant 120, and NRG(ASA), this is way better the NRG, no comparison. Can't wait to see what happpens when it's broke in.

Distance10Excellent Bat. I've been telling everyone i play with in my league about this new Demarini bat. I had been swinging the Worth Mayhem 98 and bought this bat due to the great reviews online. It has not dissapointed me in my first 4 games of the season so far. If your not a power hitter then this bat will change that you will be smoking line drives and hitting the gap with ease. The feel of it is great. Wouldn't use another bat. Great job Demarini.

There is a guy on my team he used the same bat I usta use which was the miken nrg and he would drop in single and doubles sometimes and with this new bat he was driving it to the fence and has even put one out

Distance10This bat has made me a believer in DeMarini once again. I shyed away from the brand to try other bats and now that I've come back...I'm not changing again. DeMarini hit a home run with this one (no pun intended). Awesome all around bat which is why I gave it all 10's. The smallest guy on the team, who can barely hit the warning track on a regular basis, bombed 2 over and another screamer off the top of the fence. I would recommend this bat to any and everyone.

Distance10WOW!!!! I got this bat a couple of weeks ago and right out of the wrapper, I was impressed. I just played in a tourny this past weekend and one of our "smallest" hitters was using this bat and it transformed him from a weak hitting base-hitter to a line-drive, fence hunting, monster. I've used DeMarini's in the past and have never been satisfied with them. This bat makes me feel the way I did when the first double wall DeMarini hit the market. BOMBS AWAY!!!!!

Distance10Best softball bat I have ever used. in 16 at bats since I got this bat, 6 hrs and 14 hits total in 16 at bats. The distance and forgivness of the flex handle on this bat is outstanding. durabilty will obviously be determined with more use, but I have fouled off some nasty inside pitches that could have been trouble adn no problems, but only time will tell. The bat feels broken in almost immediatly and I will be pleasantly surprised if the distance actually improves as time goes on b/c I am very impressed as of now. well worth the high price tag, enjoy rounding those bases!

Distance10The Juggernaut is the bomb. It was hot right out of the wrapper and we were launching .44/375's out to 330. Later, when we were hitting into the wind, I was only using 65 to 75% power trying to adjust to the lighter bat weight and I was still getting them out to the fence. Why buy a bat that will take 100 to 500 cuts to break it in when you can peel the wrapper and have it perform in your next at bat? This bat is balanced to a slight/minimal endload, so if you are use to using any endload, go up an ounce or two and enjoy the best ASA bat out there. This is the bat to use this year, PERIOD!!!! The DeMarini Juggernaut is definitely at the top of the ASA world. NRG, Wrath, Mayhem, 484, EVO AX, Stealth, Flex, Envy, and every other bat out there do not compare to this bat, believe me, I have tried them ALL.

Distance10I was lucky enough to play with one of these in two different leagues this weekend, this bat is sick. I borrowed it from a friend team for the weekend, I am not by far long ball hitter, mostly line drives but even my line drives were blazing through the infield. Right out of the wrapper this thing was hot, my whole team stopped using their bats and started using it, I normally use a first series Freak 100, broken in, and this bat had way more pop and distance, the best bat I have seen in ASA in a long time. My team and I have tried a lot of these so called "best bats" or the "hot bat for the season" and I have never seen anything like this one right out of the wrapper.
