2021 DeMarini CARTEL vs the DeMarini LADY CARTEL - USSSA Slowpitch Softball Bat Reviews

The Slowpitch Bat Bros swing the new Cartels from DeMarini - the Headbanger Exclusive 2021 Cartel and the 2021 Lady Cartel.
DeMarini Cartel (Headbanger) 34/26
-Felt light for a 26 half-ounce endload
-Composite 2-piece
-Testing a 360 compression out of the wrapper - and down to 260 after 20 swings!!
-Pretty minimal feedback in the hands - decent amount of handle flex
-Somewhat small sweet spot compared to some of the Miken/Worth bats out there
-Solid on mishits towards the hands
-Probably not great durability - heavy spiderwebbing and testing at 235 psi after only about 60 swings.
-Hits absolute rockets
-Epic sound
DeMarini Lady Cartel 34/26
-Very light and easy to swing (midload)
-Alloy handle, composite barrel
-Testing a 360 compression out of the wrapper - and down to 260 after 20 swings!!
-Significant feedback in the hands - very stiff - almost feels like a one-piece
-Somewhat small sweet spot compared to some of the Miken/Worth bats out there
-Solid on mishits towards the hands
-Probably not great durability - heavy spiderwebbing and testing at 225 psi after only about 60 swings.
-Hits absolute rockets
-Epic sound

Need to do an end of year bat battle. 7 or 8 best bats you've videoed and swing all on the same field to get best bat of the year, regardless of how broken in or what compression. Love to see that bomb show!

[@707ridah]

Hopefully that house had SOFTBALL Insurance Haha, I know what bat I'm getting for softball this yr.. thanks for all your hard work brotha and giving us amazing content

[@damianbenavides4920]

Thank you so much i have the 2018 headbanger cartel and just now my bat just broke on me probably going to spend the money one the 2021 cartel thanks again.

[@chandlergray8518]

Do these people not get mad that you hit their house with those softballs?

[@LJ2281]

Who lives in That house ?

[@michaelmangino9819]

Wow!💣ALERT☄WILL YOU HIT THE FARTHEST I'VE EVER SEEN FOR SLOW PITCH. THAT WAS SO FUN WATCHINH YOU BOMBARD THAT HOUSE AT 400PLUS! HOLY CRAP!SUCH A GREAT VIDEO , THOSE BALLS WERE ON 🔥OFF THAT BARRELL

[@toddcogan2649]

Love my red naty. These are fire too. Please get ahold of an Easton Fireflex 240 and put it head to head with the 220 stamp Fireflex on field and exit velo!! Love the channel keep grinding!

[@shanemcdaniel9969]

The Easton Gold Goat has to be in the bat madness tournament!!!

[@Drphatch23]

Hot AF 🔥 great job guys

[@SirRobin583]

I’m 5’8 and 150lbs and my demarini midload Nauti 2019 has been the most solid bat I’ve swung. It honestly feels like a log at first however after 20 swings you get used to the stiffness of the barrel and the handle. Obviously I’m a tiny guy so bats do not break on me at all. I will say I’ve hit balls farther with my Worth Mutant, but the demarini is perfect for smaller guys who don’t need to be hitting bombs cause it’s not their job.

[@andyablott5364]

The OG cartel is still my favorite utrip bat that I've been swinging since it was released. It's right with an Easton synergy 2. I don't have to worry about compression testing. OG Cartel only hits tanks!

[@chris22186]

Can't wait for the new VG

Never had any luck with DeMarini, found the Mistress hit like a rock.

[@slowpitchbros]

Hahah yes very true

[@razerreloaded808]

@@slowpitchbros man if we were allowed to use those in games we would be hitting 400ft plus

[@RGutie1760]

Do you guys get in trouble when you hit the house with the ball? I’m surprised you’re still allowed to hit at that field.

[@mikehendrickson85]

As expensive as softball bats are it seems like they only last a short time before they break down and lose pop. How many swings can a person usually expect before their bat loses a good amount of effectiveness?

[@anthonylucio7999]

What happens when you use a softball bat in baseball?

Does the cartel have the big d endcap ?

Ever gonna hit a Resmondo Fireflex?? Theyre super hot out of the wrapper and theyre durable

[@slowpitchbros]

Coming soon

[@CDidIt2U]

I have to ask... Is softball big where you guys are at? I only ask because you guys have the BEST fields. Wish we had fields like those over here.

[@slowpitchbros]

yeah it's pretty big out here in the northwest!

[@alfredogalvan657]

Awesome review Will , compared to the Genesis what are your thoughts the cartel hotter? I'm undecided on this Cartel or the 2021 Genesis black bat

[@slowpitchbros]

The Cartel is hotter but the Genesis will last quite a bit longer

[@rjheller459]

Why do they make bats with terrible durability for slow pitch and they cost so much just for a 200-400 swings

[@jonathanmelsha9214]

Right.. like I want my bats hot. But not to the point where they are breaking after a season..

[@brianbanks3044]

i love the bombs but would rather see you hit more 44/375 that we use in our leagues , like a step or 3 down from your balls you are hitting...we call those stadium balls and they go far but it would be more realistic to hit "regular" balls

[@bobbydimock3614]

I have the Resmondo 27.5 motherload. Love it but going to get another bat in the 26 weight range. What are the top 3 you recommend for non tested league play?

[@slowpitchbros]

Easton Steele Lewis 12" Miken Freak23 Miken DC41

[@bobbydimock3614]

@@slowpitchbros Steele Lewis over Mach 1 or Nautalie? Prefer end load

[@Alawicous]

Haven't seen too many duel ASA/USA & USSSA bats recently, are they not making them any more, are those a lower quality bat or am I missing something?

[@slowpitchbros]

by making a bat comply with both associations, you can't really "max it out" in either one - so people don't really like them much since there are better USSSA-specific bats and better ASA-specific bats

[@wd7377]

Is the 2020 BJ Fulk Mistress the same bat as the Lady Cartel with a different paint job? Specs seem to be identical.

[@slowpitchbros]

The 2020 Fulk Mistress is actually closer to the Vanilla Gorilla

[@stevenlopez8081]

Do you guys have a suggestion for a good durable bat? I know good quality bats don’t come cheap but the durability on these are not good the PSI drops so fast it’s crazy!

[@trystenstencil405]

I'm the second dude in the vid. Personally I swong worth. I get more life out of the bat's. I have a pink worth est that has will over 1k cuts on it and still passes compression.

[@slowpitchbros]

Worth 💯

[@twmccoy100]

You should switch up the balls you hit... get some Dudley USSSA Pro M's. They're .44 375, and are a little easier on bats than Gold Dot Extremes.

[@darrenkakekayash563]

Was the lady cartel lighter than the usual Miken/worth?

[@slowpitchbros]

yeah it was

[@ryanreeves8188]

How does the Lady Cartel compare to the Vanilla Gorilla, I’m stuck between the two?

The lady cartel will be 50% off on Demarini.com site tomorrow 10/28.

Y’all gonna test the axe bats?

Would you go up a ounce on the cartel i swing a 27 oz miken freak 30 same as kp23.

[@slowpitchbros]

the Cartel - no. the Lady Cartel - yes

[@peter2213]

Ik there much different but jus picture that a guy with a wood bat hit a pitch 500ft and they hit 400 and go nuts.... like the rest of us, I’m jus saying I love the bat bros and that these mlb players are nuts

[@cuddysendsit3043]

Can’t compare the 2 bro especially when mlb pitchers are throwing 90+mph. The faster the pitch the further it goes.

[@bensimons7855]

How do you swing so many bats and still have a good swing?????

[@slowpitchbros]

it's my full-time job lol i just had to learn to adapt

[@whitmirej]

Classic DeMarini question...is it so light you should go up an ounce?
