IIRC, C555 is harder and will take more force to flex, but if you can get it to flex it will be very responsive. The C405 is a bit "softer" and easier to flex on a consistent basis for the average hitter and is responsive in its own right. C555 will likely be the more durable of the two.
From experience, I preferred my C405 bats over the C555 bats.

the best DDW were the c405 models. i am not sure if any c555 models were ever produced.
which is a more responsive alloy?
I've tried talking to both, and neither one seemed very responsive...they just sat there...
Just kidding...what BigBL87 said. I tend to lean to the C405 vs. the C555 given that choice. I've found the CU31 alloy to be very flexible and responsive also...[/QUOTE]
Yep. I've hit balls every bit as far with CU31 green ESTs as any c405 bat. I almost like the CU31 better because it's more durable.
What metal is under the composite shell in the 3DX's? C405?I've tried talking to both, and neither one seemed very responsive...they just sat there...

Yeah, there are C555 DeMarini doublewalled bats.
Yes, the classic was C555. The demolition was C405. I don't remember beyond that.The DDW Classic, remake of the OG DDW, is C555. I'd guess most or all of the DDWs from that time frame were made of C555.

I found that most of the C555 bats I had dented up easier than my C405 bats

Good question. I honestly have no idea...

Actually the sickest DDWs were CU31 But you guys were still in High school back thenMO, I'd go with this as well.
Weren't the best DDWs all c405?

I emailed Worth and this was their reply:
I don't remember what the alloy was, but it was the highest on the market at the time.

I'm guessing it was C555 since the 3DX came out in 1999 and that was the same year the C555 alloy came out.
To me it feels like C555 which is probably why I didn't like the 3DX as much as I liked my SSEST.

The one good C555 bat was the TPS C555 singlewall model that I remember. That bat smoked the ball.
