If you are playing College/High School/Middle School sanctioned ball in 2012, you will have to have a BBCOR certified bat.  We have a good selection of "drop 3's" on the demo rack for you to try out.

Also for 2012, USSSA announced that ALL bats used in the lower age divisions (up to 13U), must have the new USSSA certification stamp on them. We have those demo bats as well.

So, come by and check out all the new 2012 DeMarini basts and take a few swings with them before you buy one.
