Selected User Reviews For DeMarini 2019 Uprising (-12) 2 1/4" Fastpitch Bat
When my 10-year-old daughter's Rawlings aluminum bat broke one night at practice, I bought this DeMarini, which has so far proven to be quite nice. From aluminum bats to composite bats, we've seen it all. When you hit a ball with this bat, you won't hear the trademark high-pitched ting sound. It isn't a composite sound, but it is distinct. My daughter enjoys it and the way it feels when she makes contact with it; while a nice bat won't fix a bad swing, it can boost confidence.
I just got the 30/18 today, and I can't wait for her to try a few rounds of balls with it. The grip gives off a good first impression. Do not be fooled by the grip's odd appearance out of the box. The grip was her favorite feature of the bat. I was worried about the cold and the fact that it was an aluminum bat because she didn't wear her batting gloves. I was sorely disappointed with myself. Without gloves, the bats in the batting cages were less stingy than the bats with gloves. We bought this bat as a backup bat for the cold weather and for practice hitting. It has a very light swing and makes solid contact. However, depending on the size of the child, I could see this bat being used as a game bat for children aged 12 and under. It's a very light bat, and it's on the shorter side for a nine-year-old of her size (5'). We chose the 30"/18 because it was a similar length and weight to what she was used to at the batting cages. Going to the batting cages to try out different bat lengths before purchasing is a great way to save money. For her game/fair weather bat, she uses a 31" Spryte. This will be her bat if she wants to take a lot of swings and practice in the cold. After the first time out (30 hits), she said she liked it, so you can't go wrong.
It looks fantastic. It's a bat with a great deal of balance. It is a hit with my daughter!.
Amazing bat with a fantastic appearance.
Thank you for the prompt delivery, which was exactly what I needed.
She enjoys her bat and appears to be hitting the ball more consistently with it. She used to have another well-known brand bat, but this one seems to be working out better for her.
This bat is allowing my daughters to hit the ball much further. It has a bit of a sting to it, but it's well worth the money.
This is a fantastic softball bat for my daughter, who is just getting started in softball.
