The Exile is DeMarini's well-balanced one-piece alloy that gives you power without feeling like you're swinging a log. That X14 alloy barrel, the same proven technology from The Goods, delivers excellent pop right out of the wrapper with a forgiving sweet spot, while the balanced weight lets you get the barrel through the zone quickly and adjust to pitches all over the plate. The Damplify knob does a solid job cutting down vibration for a one-piece design, so jammed swings don't leave your hands stinging, and the integrated handle taper feels natural without any awkward pressure points. DeMarini backs it with their expanded 1-year warranty covering as many qualifying repairs or replacements as needed, which is excellent protection. If you want a quick-feeling bat with legitimate power to all fields that performs from day one without any break-in, the Exile is a smart choice for hitters at any spot in the lineup.
