The DeMarini baseball bats of 2011 haven't changed a whole heck of a lot from the 2010 line. But there do seems to be some enhancements made to many of them. The lineup for this year features several 2-piece composite and hybrid models.
The CF4 ST is a continuation of the CF4 from last year. It's a 1-piece, all composite, end-loaded model. It's designed to flex then recoil on impact. DeMarini has added 2X the Silver Trace composite material making it stronger and stiffer than last year's model. This is also supposed to create a larger sweet spot, by increasing the strength of the bat toward the handle.
DeMarini's technology used in the CF4 ST are the Pitch Black Plus composite material, and their Silver Trace bonding agent. Also, the Hub-End Cap is supposed to push the "hub of energy" toward the sweet spot of the bat when contact is made harnessing the energy and producing more power. The Rotation Index is also used as has been on previous DeMarini baseball bats.
The adult version will run you the standard $400. The senior -8 model comes in at $300, and the youth -11 chimes in at $250.

Next in the lineup of 2011 DeMarini baseball bats are the Vendetta C6 and the Vendetta. The Vendetta C6 is a 2-piece, all composite model, that uses DeMarini's C6 composite material with a large weave, giving it more flex and trampoline affect. The handle uses the Rails technology, which are shafts that run the vertical length of the handle to reinforce the bat and generate more power. It also uses the Hub End Cap that helps preserve energy, preventing it from dissipating, sending it back to the ball to generate more power.
The Vendetta is a 2-piece hybrid. It uses a composite handle with the Rails technology, but the barrel is made from DeMarini's SC4 alloy.
The C6 is going to run a bit higher in price than the original Vendetta, because of the new technology. The C6 runs $300 in the adult category, $250 in senior -10, and $220 in the youth -13 category. The Vendetta runs $250 for the adult model, $200 for the senior -9, and $170 for the youth -12 model.

Next in line is the Voodoo Black model. It's a 2-piece hybrid model with the SC4 alloy barrel, and a composite handle. The handle uses the same Pitch Black Plus technology that is used in the CF4 ST. It has an end cap similar to the Hub End-Cap to conserve energy on contact. The adult Voodoo Black costs $300, the senior -9 is $250, while the youth -13 costs $180.

The M2M is a 2-piece, all aluminum model. This is no surprise considering M2M stands for "metal-to-metal." This is an end-loaded bat designed for power hitters. The M2M refers to the 2 pieces of SC4 alloy handle and barrel. The adult and senior -5 models both cost $250, while the youth -12 costs $150.

The Vexxum is a 2-piece hybrid model, with an SC4 alloy barrel, and C6 composite barrel. Something exclusive to the Vexxum model is that it uses Long Barrel technology providing a large sweet spot. It has a balanced feel and the handle is designed to flex and then recoil at contact. The adult model is $200, the senor -5 $180. DeMarini doesn't make a Vexxum youth model.
