For the most part the CF3 is a non authorized bat. The CF3 by Demarini is not a BBCOR bat nor does it meet the BPF 1.15 standard that almost all organized Baseball organizations demand. That means the -3 drop version of the bat is not approved for high school play and the -5 through -10 versions are not approved for use in Little League, Pony, USSSA or Cal Ripken.
Most older bats are like this. Just about anything made prior to 2011 is now illegal to use in most organized leagues. This was due to the extremely high baseball exit speeds when these bats were used. The risk of injury to pitchers was dramatically increased with these bats.
Easton V12 or Demarini CF3
the exogrid is better for contact but the cf3 is better for power
If you send it in to Demarini they'll either send you a new Cf3 or a Cf4 depending on what they have in stock at their warehouse.
It is a matter of choice.
No I haven't seen them
No it is not illegal but you need a permit
An illegal batter is a batter who bats out of his legal turn.
In baseball, corked bats are bats with something like cork on the inside. They have been illegal in the MLB since 1970.
In my oppinion it would be the COMbat or a CF3 Black.
cf3s are a lot better than CF4s.
No; not unless your league specifically states they are illegal.
Yes you can! Especially since it's aluminum... I recommend a composite bat though. Composite bats have way more pop than aluminum bats. I would recommend the cf3 or cf4 for a new bat. Or try the stealth!
