I got to hit a prototype model. Borrowed it from a factory/DGA hitter.
2 different weights. No sticker on the knob.
26 3/8 and 26 5/8 on our scale.
have a different paint. White with big USA STEEL letters on it compare to the one on the web site.
The one we were hitting has the C6 composite handle.
The balls used was mostly 52/300 ASA Dudley's with some 44/375 mixed.
We hit in about 50-55 degree weather on a wet field a few times. (Hey, its winter now)
The bat held up well.
I'm guessing the 26 3/8 model has over 600 hits and only has paint chips and some slight wave.
The 26 5/8 about 500 hits and paint chips a a very little wave.
The performance of these bats were outstanding.
Can't say we were hitting the ball 300 feet cause we were hitting on an open field.
Ball comes off the bat well. Got good distance off the 52/300 balls
Doesn't have the flex feel like the OG WS.
The guys that hit the bat and play in metal bat leagues want one.
If the production bat hits like the one we hit, Demarini has a winner.
Good pop and durability.

I got to swing one of these thanks to sun5150. Was blown away by it. Definitely picking one up when they come out for sale.

You're selling them? You do know that you can't sell NIW bats on the boards that the store carries and you also can't sell as a rep for another store. I'd bet 100% that they will have it.
I know, didn't say I'm selling them to you guys. Just saying what I heard.
We were mostly hitting 52/300 doodles with a few 44/375's. The prototype we were hitting had the C6 composite handle....Production model is suppose to have the metal handle.

it's back up on their site.
says aluminum handle, steel barrel. Not much info, but pics of it. It's posted release date is wrong from what i've heard. Also, it's not listed on their main page, but found via google. http://www.demarini.com/en-us/slowpitch/bats/2016-steel/

Can anyone confirm if it is a Raw or a White Steel? Comp handle or alloy?
They are just calling it the DeMarini Steel, It's an aluminum handle, steel barrel, so closest to the Raw Steel
It's still there, you just have to google it. I've been told the shipping date is March/April. I know that my parent company ordered some to see if they sell.
