2018 DeMarini Voodoo Insane Review

Updated November 17, 2022

After a couple of games, several hours in the cage, reading direct user reviews, discussing the bat with the manufacturer and major vendors we put together the following review on the 2018 DeMarini Voodoo Insane. Although the bat does come with a larger barrel then the Balanced Voodoo or One, the added end weight is a real hindrance to smaller hitters. If, then, you are stronger hitter looking for a hybrid bat then we are confident you'll be happy with the 2018 Demarini Voodoo Insane.

2018 Voodoo Insane Models

As we mention above, the Voodoo Insane is an endloaded bat built for strong hitters that like the smoother feel of a two piece composite bat. Many collegiate players with schools that use DeMarini end up using the Voodoo Insane. Smaller hitters that like a hybrid bat, but want a little more of a manageable swing weight, should consider the Voodoo Balanced---which is the sister bat of the Voodoo Insane but with a lighter swing weight. Do note, though, the barrel on the Balanced is smaller than the Insane.

General Recommendations

Reviews By Model

Previous Bats

The only difference between the 2017 and 2018 DeMarini Voodoo is the connective piece. In 2017 it was referred to as the D-Fusion handle. The 2018 model has a slimmed down version of the D-Fusion referred to as the 3 Fusion. Less bulk in the connective piece allows DeMarini to use the weight in other places to reinforce performance and durability without effecting swing weight. Otherwise, the bat is the same between 2017 and 2018. This year's model uses the same aluminum barrel and the same composite handle as is found in the 2017 Voodoo Balanced.
