[SOUTHERNFRIED]

I need to know which is the hottest, I need a big barrel by Tuesday for the tournament Friday. He loves his b1 2.25 barrel at 30/20. Due to rules we have to have a big barrel. Here are the choices

2010 Demarini Vendetta c6 -10
2010 Demarini Vendetta -9
2010 Demarini Voodoo black -9
Demarini Voodoo black -9
Combat B1SL2 -8
Combat B2SL2 -8

Im posting this is both forums, I need to know that quick. We are sticking with the 30" length.

Thanks

On our 11u team, most of the guys use Senior League Rawlings Plasma Gold Bats (-8 30 & 31"), a 3 guys use the original Combat B1 (LL-barrel), and a 3 guys used the new Combat B2 Senior League (-8), but have since switched to the Plasma... and one guy that now uses a Combat B1 Big-barrel (-8), And that's it... These guys play mainly against 12u Ice/Major - level competition... and absolutely crush the ball...

Let me preface: Not that I believe in ranking services, especially at 11u, and I only mention it because it kind of says what level of players we have on our team - and it's definitely not to brag... But some ranking services have our team #1 in the state of Florida and others have us #7 in the nation...

Having said all that, out of the bats you list, I would consider either of the Combat bats.

-Good luck.

Well we made a decision based on what we can get our hands on TODAY:). I got him a Demarini CF3 31/23, and Demarini Voodoo 30/21. Right now I am trying to get in touch with Combat for his busted B1, and hope they will swap it out for a big barrel. I couldnt find any plasma golds around here. I will let everyone know how it goes............

Thanks, we went with a 31/23 cf3 black (which weighs 25.6 oz) and a Voodoo 3/21 (which weighs 22.7 oz). I dont understand how the weights are that off, but, I guess they can be.......I got the return authorization for his b1 30/20 (which weights 20 oz) but the girl I spoke with would not let me swap it for a 30/22 big barrel or any big barrel. Didnt even give me the option to pay the difference if there was one, dont understand it, they are the same price at my local dealer. So far he is hitting the voodoo, it is more balanced than the cf3, but not as well as the combat. I measured both from the butt and the combat balanced at 17.5", Voodoo 18.5" and the cf3 black at 19.5"........hope this helps someone. He is getting used to the voodoo and hit one out with it, but, the combat is still hotter.
