The 2027 DeMarini The Goods is the power hitter's DeMarini: an end-loaded BBCOR hybrid with an alloy barrel, composite handle, and enough mass to punish the ball when a strong hitter gets it moving. At $399.95, it belongs on the short list for players who already know they want a heavy barrel.
Models Overview
The current model codes are GIC-27 and GIC-27 CSTM, and the NCAA list now adds a separate The Goods Kintsugi approval under GIC-27BG. The base and Kintsugi rows share the 31 through 34.5-inch approval range, which suggests DeMarini is adding a Kintsugi variant to the GIC-27 family. We are not assigning it separate retail or performance claims until the exact product details and testing are clear. The retail WBD2703010 listing puts the current The Goods at $399.95, keeping the base model in the same premium BBCOR power-hybrid lane as recent The Goods releases.
Construction & Technology
The Goods uses an X14 Alloy Barrel, 1375 Composite Handle, Direct Connection, Tremor End Cap, Extended Taper, and Damplify Knob. The build is stiff, end-loaded, and designed for hitters who create their own bat speed.
Performance Comparison
Against the 2026 The Goods, the likely upgrade lane is refinement. If DeMarini changes anything meaningful, watch durability, connection feel, and whether the end load becomes easier to manage without losing heavy-barrel punch.
Comparable Bats
Useful context comes from 2026 DeMarini The Goods, 2026 Louisville Slugger Select PWR, and 2026 DeMarini Voodoo One. Those pages frame the likely role until we can measure, swing, and compare the 2027 version directly.

The Bottom Line
The 2027 The Goods remains one of the clearest power-hybrid choices in BBCOR. Strong hitters who like end load should compare it directly with Select PWR. Smaller or speed-first hitters should choose Voodoo One, Atlas, or another balanced alloy.
