The Goods has earned its reputation as one of the most explosive bats for power hitters, featuring an aggressive end-loaded swing weight that requires solid bat speed but delivers maximum momentum when you connect. That X14 alloy barrel is legitimately one of the hottest barrels DeMarini has produced. When you square one up, it jumps off the bat with serious carry to the gaps and over the fence. The upgraded Direct Connection and ultra-stiff 1375 composite handle work together to transfer energy efficiently without that whippy feel some two-piece bats have, while still providing enough forgiveness to keep your hands comfortable on mishits. DeMarini backs it with an expanded 1-year warranty covering as many qualifying repairs or replacements as needed, which is excellent protection for a premium bat. If you're a middle-of-the-order hitter who lives for driving in runs and you've got the bat speed to handle an end-loaded design, The Goods is built specifically for doing damage at the plate.
