Deliver monstrous hits in big moments and silence the opposition with one swing. The 2023 DeMarini Whisper (-9) Fastpitch Bat boasts an original Amplified Gapped Wall Continuous Fiber Barrel, one of the most advanced technologies to ever come out of DeMarini’s Oregon factory. Extra space between inner and outer walls empowers the Whisper’s continuous fiber composite barrel to jumpstart the ball on contact, resulting in potent exit velocities and extra base hits. Whisper employs a two-piece composite construction to maximize your power output, and its Anomaly Connection System with a stiff, trumpet-shaped handle dampens vibration while still responding to mis-hits. Ideal for advanced hitters looking to launch the ball over the wall, the Whisper (-9) fastpitch bat delivers a balanced feel, brighter sound and dominant performance.

THREE-STEP DESIGN | The inner barrel has been reworked creating an even bigger sweet spot than the previous model causing oppurtunities for damage up and down the bat. Additionally, this bat has a thinner outer layer for lower barrel compression, translating to an ultra-hot hitting surface capable of producing elite exit velocities. IN/TENSE CARBON COMPOSITE | For maximum potential we included a barrel made from an In/Tense Carbon Composite, the highest-performing and most durable composite material. This reults in more power and consistnecy in every swing. IMPROVED LIGHTWEIGHT FEEL | The 2025 Mantra also features an improved ergonomic and lightweight feel, helping batters feel more comfortable at the plate while generating higher bat speed F2 COLLAR | Fully reconstructed connect joint reduces barrel drag and vibration through the handle for a fast, smooth, powerful swing.

About this item
- BARREL: Our patented single disc Speed Composite Design features PBF Technology, which delivers a larger sweet spot, higher performance and an incredible sound on contact. We fine-tuned the lower portion of the barrel, which means you get more pop, even when you don’t perfectly barrel the ball.
- CONSTRUCTION: A three-piece design centered around what players have loved for years: our VCX2 Vibration Connection System. This patented elastomeric connection allows for more flex between the barrel and handle, reducing vibration and delivering a feel that’s unrivaled in the game today.
- PREMIUM LS PRO COMFORT GRIP: Designed to give players added tack and cushion, our Premium Pro Comfort Grip improves feel and bat control through the zone.
- END CAP: The COPA Performance End Cap pairs perfectly with the Speed Composite Design of the barrel to maximize both the size and the performance of the sweet spot of the LXT.
- SWING WEIGHT: Unbelievable performance and a perfectly balanced swing weight makes the 2022 LXT a perfect choice for every type of hitter, regardless of which weight drop she prefers.
