The DeMarini CF is DeMarini’s classic two-piece composite line built for hitters who want a big barrel, a light swing, and a smooth feel on contact. For 2024, there is no CF model-year release on file, so “2024 CF” really means shopping older CF stock or moving to DeMarini’s newer two-piece lines like the ZOA.
Models Overview
CF has historically shown up across USSSA, USA, and BBCOR in multiple drops, and its calling card is a light-swinging composite profile with a comfortable feel on mishits. If you’re trying to buy “the 2024 CF,” treat it as a prior-year purchase decision: match the certification and drop to your league, or start with the ZOA if you want current-year DeMarini composite.
Construction & Technology
Two-piece composite built to swing light with a smooth, lower-sting feel compared to one-piece alloys. The CF profile is known for bat speed and a comfortable connection, with a forgiving feel on mishits and a direct response when you square it.
Performance Comparison
No 2024 model-year CF release is on file; the most recent options are prior-year CF models.
Comparable Bats
Comparable two-piece composite options include the Marucci CAT X Composite, Easton Hype, and Rawlings Icon—similar goals: big barrels, smoother composite feel, and high-end performance for travel-ball hitters.
The Bottom Line
CF is still a great template for hitters who want composite feel and bat speed. The 2024 story is availability: if you can find a prior-year CF in your exact league and drop, it’s a smart buy; if not, you’re shopping alternatives.
