What is the quick review?

The 2025 DeMarini Whisper is a stiffer-feeling two-piece composite built for hitters who want feedback and power without giving up composite benefits. It is firmer than the LXT or CF and plays like a power-first fastpitch bat.

What models and sizes are available?

The Whisper comes in drops -10, -9, and -8. Same build, different swing weight, with the heavier drops aimed at stronger hitters.

How is it built?

Two-piece composite with a gapped-wall style barrel and a stiffer handle/connection package for a firmer feel at contact.

How does it compare?

The 2025 Whisper keeps the same stiff, power-forward profile as the recent version, with only minor tuning year over year.

Bottom line

The 2025 Whisper is a power-leaning fastpitch bat with a stiff feel and a solid composite barrel. It is not for everyone, but it fits hitters who want firmness and control.
