Ok I'm going to give you my opinion on which are the best and worst BBCR bats to buy. I am a college baseball player and had these bats sent to us by the bus load. Anyway, Demarini was one of the first to produce theese bats, and honestly have constructed one of the most sturdy of them. The Voodoo is definately a good choice. It needs to be broken in meaning it needs to be hit in the cage quite a bit before it gets used in a game. The Vexxum is also a good choice and very durable. It's going to appear that the barrel is quite small but when you are dealing with a sweetspot that is only a hair larger than a woodbat then it doesnt matter. Refrain from straight one piece bats in my opinion, because we had two and both were broken within the second day. Also, the surge is not a bad choice, but I would not suggest the Omen made by Easton, it has a heavy price tag and is not worth it whatsoever. Hopefully this clears things up a little.
