Paint issue fixed fellas. The bats are just straight up breaking now instead. This bat looks like it has 0 swings on it. Smh

nope not right
The reason I ask that is in every advertisement on this bat they refer to the fact that it crushes the 52/300 ball is all. This will not sway me at all in picking up this bat, I have a lot of Demarini bats and when some do break early the CS has always treated me fairly. So no worries for me.
Some Utrip leagues and tournaments switched to 52/275 ball. I'm sure this bat was made with those in mind.

just did a demo last week with the USSSA AM. it was in the 40s and we were hitting everything from 52s to ultimate evil long haul bomber balls (53/600 i believe). there were no durability issues. I'm sorry your bat broke, but I recommend we all be a little more patient to see if this is a trend or if the OP possibly just got an unlucky bat. Anything is possible, but at this point, i don't think its fair to dismiss the USSSA Am because of durability issues. lets see how it plays out

Less than 100 swings. Classic m's and nsa balls.
The same thing was being said about the OG Cartel. People on this board were talking about durability issues. So then I started stockpiling them like I was going to break one every month. Still gaming the very first one I took outta the wrapper. HOT as hell and no signs of slowing down. Maybe I just got lucky, I don't know. My point is, time will tell on this one...

Disco discoooo, and the beat don't die in bingo town....
NSA 44/400 balls that haven't been NSA balls for over a year now or NSA 52/275 balls that these bats are designed for?
Either way it sucks and like Wheeler said, probably just got a bad bat. It's nice that Demarini still has a good warranty amd top notch Customer Service but this sucks. Sorry for yoir loss, hope your next one is better to you.

That sucks! These are coming pretty hot out of the wrapper. My buddy plays for the military Demarini team and he sent me a pic of one of their NOW AMs testing right under 250

That's an absolute rock of an ASA ball, local league uses them cause they're restricted flight. Absolute murder on a bat but fun to hit below 70deg.

Hopefully it's just a defect or we'll start seeing a lot of this. I'd imagine they accounted for the M when they made this bat.
That's interesting, we have the exact same ball here for a local ASA league, Dudley SY 40/375 with an RF in the model name.
ball go far

never gonna happen. this is the time of year that everyone takes the new mine out for a test drive and freaks out when the break early. happen in most manufacturers sections and all get their panties in a bunch saying the bats break to easily. wait til may and the story changes
That isn't a UTrip ball. I don't think UTrip ever used those. The Elite was a 44/400, and that hasn't been an official UTrip ball since 08 or 09 I think. Maybe 2010, but even at that that's 5 years ago now. Classic M is 40/325, Classic + is 52/275, Stadium is 47/450 I think, and then there's a woman's ball that I have no idea about.
People make all kinds of balls, like the 40/275 they use out in Cali, but that doesn't make it an official ball. Also, leagues often adopt an associations rules except for the ball. I bet that's what yours does. If you have a UTrip stamped 40/375 that's something I've never heard of in the 21 years I've been playing.
Do the stories change or do the bats change? :biglaugh::biglaugh:
Gotta get that first batch, but games only!!!
