For several years now, the DeMarini Vexxum line has been rated as one of the (if not the) best value bats in the market.
That plus its surprisingly low price point make it a smart choice for serious players.
It’s the low key bat that delivers high performance
Just because it’s understated and underpriced, many people underestimate the capabilities of the DeMarini Vexxum NVS BBCOR baseball bat.
What they fail to understand is that the Vexxum NVS is actually an overachiever rather than an underachiever.
Think of it this way. With the DeMarini Vexxum NVS, you enjoy the balance, control and speed of a two-piece hybrid bat at roughly the same cost of a one-piece aluminum bat.
That’s like getting a sports car for the price of a regular car!
You don’t “make do” with this bat. You “make better.”
This year’s DeMarini NVS Vexxum BBCOR baseball bat contains the same winning features as last year’s—with some game-enhancing improvements.
2016 DeMarini Vexxum NVS BBCOR Features
-
It’s a Hybrid, Two-Piece Construction or Half & Half. Now the Half & Half is a major technological innovation that DeMarini first introduced in 2002 and it is what made DeMarini a top name in the manufacture and design of bats.
What it is, basically, is a combination of a composite handle with an aluminum alloy barrel.
How it works is that, upon impact, the 2-piece bat flexes then recoils resulting in a burst of energy that dramatically adds speed and distance to the carry.
This Half & Half system not only makes the bat virtually indestructible, but also aids in redistributing weight for optimal balance. In short, you get faster swings with less effort.
-
Second is its patented NVS Barrel Design. With this design, DeMarini has brought the balance point of the bat closer to the knob to give you the lightest swing weight possible.
And the lighter the swing weight, the faster your swing. No wonder they call it the New Velocity System!
As a bonus, DeMarini has tinkered around with the design to expand the bat’s sweet spot this year so you can expect more pop to each and every hit.
-
The third important feature is the use of the X12 Aluminum Alloy for the barrel.
Now this is the exact same alloy DeMarini uses for the barrel of its premiere, power-hitting Voodoo line and is one of the biggest reasons for that bat’s huge following at college level baseball play.
The X12 is definitely DeMarini’s most responsive alloy to date. Working together with the next feature it provides you with the perfect amount of flex for more power as well as more forgiveness on those annoying mishits.
-
The fourth feature is the DeMarini NVS Vexxum BBCOR’s C6 Composite Handle. Aside from helping make the bat more responsive as we’ve mentioned, its design guarantees more hand stability. This makes it possible for you to give your best performance at every swing.
-
Next is the Big D End Cap. Together with the C6 handle, this feature is going to improve stability by absorbing vibration.
And with the NVS barrel design, it’s going to help keep swing weight low and the sweet spot deadly. This will give you the best ever version of this best value bat.
-
The last thing to consider, even though it’s not really a feature, is that it’s a DeMarini baseball bat.
From the beginning, DeMarini has always been committed to the enhancement of a players’ games. Not just those of professional players, but the games of everyone who loves to play ball.
Insanely dedicated to performance, DeMarini has always explored, has always invented, has always innovated, and has always delivered.
The first multi-wall bat (Doublewall Distance), the first high-performance bat for massive players (Fatboy), the first high-performance youth bat (Black Coyote), and the first Half & Half bat (Doublewall F2). These were all made by DeMarini. Just like the DeMarini Vexxum 2016 BBCOR.
To get sensational stability and super speed, just simply get smart.

It’s a DeMarini After All
Conclusion About the DeMarini Vexxum NVS BBCOR Baseball Bat
As you can see, there’s nothing at all inferior about the DeMarini Vexxum BBCOR baseball bat.
It’s fully loaded with fantastic features and it has great pedigree. And the fact that it’s unbelievably affordable makes it a very sensible choice.
We suggest that you stop comparing it to the more expensive bats because the pricier ones are without doubt better. They have better materials, better technology and are better made.
That’s why they’re priced like that in the first place. The sports car is in a different class altogether and will definitely outperform the regular car.
(Unless, of course, the regular car is Herbie. But, come to think of it, there’s nothing at all “regular” about Herbie, is there? So the argument stands.)
The odds are absolutely stacked against the vehicle in the lower category and therefore any comparisons made are senseless.
It’s human nature to salivate for the sweetest, slickest and shiniest objects we see. But in the same way that all that glitters isn’t necessarily gold, all the glitters less brightly isn’t necessarily inferior.
Use your head. Be a little more realistic in your expectations and we’re sure you’ll be more satisfied.
Simply accept the DeMarini Vexxum NVS BBCOR baseball bat for what it is. It’s a two-piece, light swinging marvel of engineering dependably capable of sending those baseballs out of the park time and time again at great speed.
