We take some sneak peeks at the 2022 DeMarini lineup that drops here shortly on October 27th. Should be some fun hits in there including the 2022 ZOA in USSSA. Biggest surprise for us is the changes in the end caps of the wildly popular The Goods and Voodoo One. Both have end cap changes and those could be, we hate to say it, deal breakers. But, we're hopeful the changes won't be different as the bats got plenty of positive reviews. Have a bat related question?
