Review overview

Contact hitters and those prioritizing bat control should love the CF's balanced design. It's particularly effective for players who hit to all fields and value consistency over raw power. Avoid if you're a pure power hitter—you'll want something with more end-load like The Goods.

The 2022 DeMarini CF continued the legacy of one of baseball's most successful composite bat lines. This two-piece design delivered the classic CF feel—ultra-balanced swing weight with a massive sweet spot that made every hitter feel like an all-star.

Models Overview

Available across all youth leagues and drops, the 2022 CF featured DeMarini's Paraflex+ Composite barrel and 3Fusion Connection for reduced vibration. Each model maintained the signature balanced feel that made the CF series famous among contact and gap hitters.

Performance Comparison

There are no changes between the 2022 and 2021 DeMarini CF. The USA, USSSA and BBCOR versions are all produced the same with a new paint job. Those looking for an "updgraded" CF should go to DeMarini's ZOA.

Comparable Bats

The two piece composite space is replete with legitimate options. The Rawlings Quatro, the Slugger Meta and Prime series, Marucci's CAT 9 Composite, Easton's Hype and ADV 360 lines as well as Axe's Avenge are all two-piece composites with light swings and big barrels.
