2018 DeMarini Voodoo Insane Review

The Voodoo Insane featured DeMarini's 3Fusion Connection between the composite handle and alloy barrel. The end-loaded design added mass through the hitting zone while maintaining the crisp feel alloy lovers demanded.

More background on the 2018 DeMarini Voodoo Insane can be found by referencing a few places. In particular, we relied heavily on our 2017 Demarini Voodoo Insane Review. As well, our bat reviews section might give you a few more ideas as to details behind hybrid bats. Off this site we think past user reviews on Amazon are mildly helpful. As well, DeMarin's bat site might be useful to find sizing and comparison options.

The only difference between the 2017 and 2018 DeMarini Voodoo is the connective piece. In 2017 it was referred to as the D-Fusion handle. The 2018 model has a slimmed down version of the D-Fusion referred to as the 3 Fusion. Less bulk in the connective piece allows DeMarini to use the weight in other places to reinforce performance and durability without effecting swing weight. Otherwise, the bat is the same between 2017 and 2018. This year's model uses the same aluminum barrel and the same composite handle as is found in the 2017 Voodoo Balanced.​  

Hybrid bats are fairly common, but in the remarkably heavy realm they are less so. In 2018, there are two comparable bats to the Voodoo Insane. Both Easton's Z-Core XL and the Slugger 718 are comparable bats to the Voodoo Insane. Both are hybrid bats with end loads. Also, we should note, Marucci's CAT 7 connect is meant as a two piece composite bat with an endload. Our measurements didn't show the Connect as heavy as a swing as the Voodoo Insane, but both should be considered end loaded bats. The connect, in fact, is the only bat on this short list that comes in something other than BBCOR.
