What is the quick review?

DeMarini's 2020 Glitch is the same as the 2020 DeMarini CF with the obvious exception of the colorway. That is, it looks different. As well, the Glitch only releases in a drop 5, 8 and 10 in USSSA while the CF has those as well as a BBCOR and USA version too. Our review of the Glitch is, therefore, no different than that of CF. Expect the best performing USSSA bat on the market with a huge barrel, great balance point and a huge chance to impress at every level. In terms of USSSA bats, nothing really compares in terms of market dominance and player feedback.

What models and sizes are available?

Our hitters love the big barrel, balanced swing and perfect sound of the DeMarini Glitch. If you like balance, play a lot of baseball and willing to spend top dollar for the best USSSA bat on the market then this is it. The drop 5 is an all-time favorite while the drop 10 is the perfect combo of balance, barrel size, and performance.

How is it built?

The DeMarini CF Glitch is a two-piece composite bat built with a big barrel and a balanced to light swing. The composite on the bat is used in DeMarini bats for many years, and each year they try and dial it in a little better. In recent years they've pushed the limits of performance at the direct cost of durability. And, while you find many who aren't happy with the bat's durability, you cannot find anyone who doesn't like the bat's performance.

How does it compare?

There are no differences between the 2020 CF Glitch and the 2020 CF. There are, however, a couple of differences between the 2020 CF and 2019. We will send you to our 2020 CF review to read those and see some head to head comparisons.
