| May 20, 2012 leftyfalcon Men's 65 158 posts | DeMarini The One Senior Wondering how many swings does it take to break in the one senior bat. Does this bat have any webbing when it starts breaking in. |

| May 21, 2012 leftyfalcon Men's 65 158 posts | Glad I didn't pay alot for the bat. It hits like a well broke in U trip bat at the moment. Webbing not there yet. |
| May 22, 2012 HJ Men's 70 481 posts | I know nothing about this bat, for what it is worth the 2013 model (yellow) just went on sale on ebay. My guess is that the blue one will be much cheaper soon. |
| May 24, 2012 swing for the fences Men's 50 1224 posts | is this the Lime green bat that is the color of the balls.... We just got some on our CA Baron team... a player said he had 100 swings on it with no stress cracks... We shall see! |
| May 28, 2012 HJ Men's 70 481 posts | Swing, sorry it is yellowish lime green. Please keep us posted on progress. Alan said get hot then broke quickly respecting the 2012. How are these bats being broken in? Alan and Kevin suggested a specific 75 swing method see other discussion. |
| May 31, 2012 swing for the fences Men's 50 1224 posts | so far HJ one of our guys has 200 swings on it... he's been hitting the Rock balls with it and it has no stress cracks yet! He seems to like it... I don't see it opening up yet and He said hit white combat had more pop at this point... I am waiting to see if it opens up how long it will hold up..it is a 30 ounce bat also so in might take longer. Another one of our guys was hitting a 26 and he loves it.. I will see if he hits it in Reno and give update he swings the same Reebok that I do normally. |
| May 31, 2012 miken44 89 posts | i have the demarini senior bat like it alot has plenty pop no webbing on it yet somewhere around 225 swings have hit some bombs withit |
| May 31, 2012 HJ Men's 70 481 posts | Miken44, is your bat the blue 2012 or the yellow 2013? Critical since some think the 2012 has durability issues. |
| June 7, 2012 swing for the fences Men's 50 1224 posts | HJ, he broke it.. he said he had 600 swings... I find it hard to believe.. He only had it for two weeks... |
| June 8, 2012 Lefty Men's 75 719 posts | I have about 100 swings on my blue senior one and it has a 1 inch crack or it is a paint crack. It hits well at the moment. |
| June 8, 2012 swing for the fences Men's 50 1224 posts | we broke three blues during the first 50 swings last year.. we have a rep on our team so we get them to try out.... The lime green 2012 held up for more swings but I suspect when it opens up it cracks right away. I will stick to my Rebok's |
| June 10, 2012 miken44 89 posts | hj i have the blue 2012 we hit yesterday 44core 325 compresion 8 out of 10 swings were over 320 feet couple of the other guys have swung it also and they are in the process of buying them |
| July 9, 2012 chikn55 Men's 60 28 posts | I picked up one of the 2012 blue Senior One bats from bats unlimited for $119. I have about 150 swings on it and there is not much paint left on the barrel, but there is no stress cracking and the performance is very good. I suggest if you do purchase one go heavier than you usually swing. The bat swings very light.Not a bad deal. |
| July 10, 2012 swing for the fences Men's 50 1224 posts | I hit my teammates 28 this weekend in batting practice and it was hitting the ball as far as my Reebok. The only difference was the sweet spot size and the vibration you get when you don't hit it on the screws... IMO |
| July 10, 2012 swing for the fences Men's 50 1224 posts | I hit again today with the lime One and it is a great bat.. it was out hitting my Rebook 28 that has 100 swings on it... I'm going to order one for the arsenal... the one I swung today has 250 swings on it... We were hitting the rock balls today and it's holding up! I will be swinging these and my rebook rest of the year! Looks like Demarini has made a very very competitive bat! |
| July 10, 2012 swing for the fences Men's 50 1224 posts | One more thing, soon they will have endloads and Balanced! this new model is called mid load.. FYI |
