2018 Demarini Juggy DB44 USSSA 28oz
Balls used -
Mostly Classic M
a few 52/300
and some 44/375
We stepped back 5 feet from the plate
Overall feel
If you want a real deal End Load, this is it.
Bat did feel very nice and comparing this to the 13/14/15CL22's there was a big difference in end load
N.O.W. performance
Not bad but iniitally there was quite a bit of vibration on hits outside the sweet spot.
Some were actually jarring as hell
Not awful but DEFINITELY noticeable...
Within the 1st 25 swings we did hit several that hit the fence or right in front of it.
A tad bit of flex on missed hits. At first, I did not like this but after a number of swings, I got used to it..
150 swing mark
The bat got MUCH better and started to changes gears.
We aimed toward Right Center and Right field and we ended up retrieving
quite a few of Classic M's, and 44/375's that went over the fence.
Sound
there was no big sound change as the swing count was ramping up....
Durability
At 150 swings there were absolutely no signs of stress at all.
I am confident that this bat can get at least 2000+ swings
This bat felt very similar to the CL22 but the DB44 has a much heavier end load
Overall perspective
Very nice and has a REAL end load
The break in was actually much faster than the Omega (No kidding)
It was extremely windy (winds going inbound from left field to Home plate ) and the ball still was hitting the fence or going over the fence.
We were hitting all shots toward RC and right field and the exit speed was getting better as the bat was breaking in. As windy as it was, the ball was tailing like crazy and still managed to get distance.
If you like a real end load,
occasional flex on missed hits and some power that hits Classic M's VERY well,
I would give it a go and I am pretty sure you will not be disappointed.
There is a tournament in Feb 2019 and I will rotate the DB44 with the other gamers I got to
see what we can do with it.
I am very confident the DB44 will perform well with the Classic M.
