What is the quick review?
For 2020, DeMarini has released the Prism out of its D-Labs and into the broader market. They also added a drop 11 to its very popular drop 10 status. For the drop 10, it is the same bat as the 2019 version. For 2019 it had a limited release. No matter what you call it, the Prism is the same double barreled light swing with a massive sweet spot, fantastic feel and a balanced swing. See DeMarini's D-Labs where the Prism was born. In its original release, due to unexpected demand, the Prism was hard to find in stock. These days its pretty available at just about every major, serious outlet.
What models and sizes are available?
We've tested this bat, and every 2020 Fastpitch bat on the market today, with several different hitters.
The Prism bat is highly recommendable. The double-barrel sounds great feels great on hits and mishits, and appears to have a massive sweet spot. If budget isn't much of an issue it comes highly recommendable. In terms of overall feel, we think the best on the market. Other stiffer bats tended to perform a bit better but that was with bigger hitters that could drill the ball. We recommend the 2020 Prism for almost any drop 10 hitters looking for a real balanced swing and is very serious about fastpitch.
