Not much has changed on the 2019 Voodoo One. It comes in a number of sizes, sits in the value space, and delivers a decent value buy for the single-piece aluminum baseball player. Hitters who like it prefer the stiff feel and light swing. The barrel size is decent and the feel on mishits is manageable. The bat has not changed for several years and if you can find this one at a discount then be all over it.
Models Overview
None of the hitters who used the 2019 Voodoo One fell in love with it. But, it is an adequate bat---especially in BBCOR. The USSSA and USA versions suffer from a smaller barrel. But, they do swing light and if you can find the sweet spot of the barrel it will travel.
Construction & Technology
The 2019 DeMarini Voodoo One is a single piece aluminum bat built with a balanced to light swing weight. A couple years back they upgraded the end cap, but the 2019 version sits much like the 2018 and 2017 versions of the bat. Don't expect many frills, but do expect a good old fashioned bat.
Performance Comparison
There aren't any changes from the 2018 version to the 2019 version in terms of tech. The 2019 Voodoo One is, like the 2018 version, a single piece aluminum bat with a average sized barrel and a light swing weight.
Comparable Bats
A single piece aluminum bat with an average swing weight is, to say the least, common. It is the most common type of bat on the market in fact. As such, there is no shortage of bats that are like the 2019 Voodoo One.
We'd start with a bat-like the 5150 or VELO from Rawlings, then check the 519 or 619 from Slugger. Easton runs with a Beast proline that we like a lot and is also a single-piece aluminum stick.
