Create a legendary reputation and be a force in the middle of the lineup with DeMarini Lotus (-8), an innovative fastpitch softball bat with a new integrated handle taper and balanced yet powerful gapped wall composite barrel design to deliver consistent performance, comfort and sound. Lotus (-8) leverages a Dark Matter Composite barrel to create a large sweet spot and a loud sound on contact – music to a hitter’s ears. Lotus’ two-piece composite construction is ultra-balanced for complete control to barrel up more pitches. Engineered to minimize hand sting, Lotus (-8) uses a Damplify Direct Connection, integrated handle taper and Damplify Knob with softer materials to absorb vibration – maximizing player comfort to do damage at the plate. <br><br>Not used to a taper? The DeMarini handle taper is a removable piece of plastic underneath the grip. Connect with @demarinifp on Instagram to learn more.
