The 2024 DeMarini Voodoo One is a light-swinging, one-piece alloy BBCOR bat built for hitters who want bat speed and a crisp, feedback-forward feel. It’s a good fit for players who like a smaller, more precise barrel profile and want a quick bat through the zone. The 2024 story is the fortified knob update and the premium price tag.
Models Overview
Voodoo One comes as the standard and Pink colorway in BBCOR (-3). The defining 2024 update is the fortified metal compound knob, intended to address knob breakage reports on prior model years. Otherwise the Voodoo One stays true to its identity: light swing, stiff one-piece feel, and a more precise barrel profile than some of the bigger one-piece options.
Construction & Technology
One-piece X14 alloy with a Tracer end cap and a tapered handle profile. Expect a stiff, quick swing with plenty of feedback—great when you barrel it, honest when you don’t. The fortified metal compound knob is the main structural update called out for 2024.
Performance Comparison
2024’s meaningful change is the fortified knob update after knob failures on prior Voodoo One model years. DeMarini also updated its warranty structure (details: read more about that here). Otherwise, the barrel and overall light-swinging profile stay in the same lane.
Comparable Bats
Comparable light-swinging one-piece alloys include the Marucci CAT X, Louisville Slugger Atlas, Easton’s ALX line, and Rawlings VELO/Clout—similar stiff, direct one-piece feels where the big differences are barrel profile and price.

The Bottom Line
Voodoo One remains a bat-speed-first one-piece that plays well for hitters who like a quick, direct feel. The 2024 decision is simple: you are paying for the fortified knob update, the look, and the name—so make sure the light, smaller- barrel profile matches your swing.
