One of the most common fastpitch questions we are asked at Better Baseball is, What’s the difference between the 2020 Demarini Prism and the 2020 Demarini CF fastpitch bats? Let’s take a look at both bats to shed some light and hopefully answer that question before the 2021 Demarini Prism and 2021 Demarini CF bats launch later this month.
In 2019, Demarini developed the Prism in their D-LAB to see if they could improve and change the way their 2 piece composite bats were made. What they came up with was truly unique innovation. They developed a manufacturing process where the whole composite barrel could be continuously weaved together without having an overlap like most carbon fiber bats. With this new process and their new Gapped Barrel technology, the Demarini Prism was born.
The 2020 Demarini CF still has the same paraflex barrel construction and performance that hitters have come to love over the past few years. The 2020 Demarini CF also features a 3Fusion connection piece that delivers maximum energy transfer to the barrel while eliminating vibration and bat sting. For the new 2021 Demarini Prism, the bat will feature a brand new Type V Connection, that will compliment the new Gapped Barrel technology.
Demarini designed these two bats with specific hitters in mind.
Demarini Prism: Well rounded hitters looking for a high performance barrel to match their style of play.
Demarini CF: Elite players with high swing velocities, that will generate more of a trampoline effect due to the Paraflex barrel.
The 2021 Demarini Prism drop 10 Fastpitch Bat is ready to take the field. It is built with continuous fiber composite in its gapped wall composite barrel to allow added weight without adding an end loaded feel. Maintaining the balanced feel that the drop 10 prism is known for. This drop 10 2021 Demarini Prism is sure to deliver just like previous models. The all-new Refract End Cap helps maximize bat speed to take advantage of the elite performance that only the 2021 Demarini Prism can provide.
The all-new 2021 Demarini Prism is sure to change the game. It features it's revolutionary gapped wall composite technology that is sure to provide that extra pop every elite fastpitch player is looking for.
