We are all familiar with the Prism+, last year's model was a home run! This year’s model is expected to be even hotter! With a smooth, balanced swing weight, you can expect this bat to be favored amongst contact hitters. Particularly those that prefer total barrel control over power. Let's breakdown the details of the new 2023 Demarini Prism+ and what to expect performance wise this year. A few things to note is the Continuous Fiber Composite material used throughout the barrel to evenly distribute weight as well as the “Type-V™” connection piece which maximizes performance and optimizes the overall feel of your swing. The “Refract” end cap helps players generate extreme bat speed, taking advantage of the elite performance the Prism+ has to offer. Sizes available are in drop 10 and 11, and is legal for play in USSSA 1.20 (NTS Stamp), USA Softball (Previously ASA), NSA, ISA, and WBSC Leagues and Tournaments.

The Barrel:

Demarini has designed a new barrel for the Whisper! Introducing the “Amplified Gapped Wall Continuous Fiber Barrel” technology. A Lot of words there, but what does it mean? Essentially the inner and outer walls of the Whisper have been designed with extra space in between the walls. This empowers the Whisper’s continuous fiber composite barrel to jumpstart the ball on contact. The end result is potent exit velocities and extra base hits.
