The 2021 Voodoo One is very popular due to some online YouTube publicity. However, the bat is the same version as it has been for the last few years. Our general rating is higher this year than in years past because part of our rating is based on consumer demand. And the demand for the 2021 Voodoo is way beyond its predecessors despite being the same bat. Such is life in the world of bat hype.

2021 DeMarini Voodoo One USA Drop 10
$149.95
Original Price
Voodoo One USA Drop 10
The 2021 DeMarini Voodoo One USA Bat is new to DeMarini. DeMarini bailed on the USSSA model line in favor of The Goods One Piece. But, for USA, they have this single-piece aluminum bat with a focus on a light swing and a more reasonable price point.

Our hitters like the stiff feel and light swing of the DeMarini Voodoo One. The bat is a single-piece aluminum built for that middle power hitter who wants as much bat speed as possible and isn’t concerned about a huge barrel profile.

2020 Louisville Slugger Solo Review: Light, Value, Good Performance. After hitting each 2020 Solo with several different hitters, it rates out as well as the 2019 version did. That is, a very durable bat that perfectly serves the need of a budget conscience buyer who needs a light swing. The BBCOR Solo has many fans and the 29-inch is a hit for those who needs it ultra-light. The USA is our favorite Solo. The drop 11 creates as good as exit speeds as any. USSSA Solo’s aren’t as popular as composite barrels do better there. Our Score 9/10 (BBCOR); 9.8/10 (USA); 8.5/10 (USSSA).
2020 Louisville Slugger Omaha Review: Value. Value. Value. After hitting with every version of the 2020 Slugger Omaha, we are confident it will continue to dominate the value purchase realm of all baseball. It serves as a legit option for novice and expert alike in the BBCOR, USSSA and USA space with a reasonable price point most parents are willing to pay. Our favorite, if we had to choose, is the drop 5 USA Omaha. With the exception of the 33 and 34-inch BBCOR, 2020 Omahas are built with a light swing in mind. Those two BBCOR versions are intentionally built for a heavy swing. Our Score 9.8/10 (BBCOR); 9.5/10(USSSA); 9.8/10 (USA).
See the VELO Review
2020 Rawlings VELO ACP Review: as iconic as any bat in the non-wood bat space, the 2020 Velo is a light swing, loud sound and newly designed end cap. Our favorite version, after hitting every one, is the uniuqe drop 5 USSSA Velo which swings lighter than many drop 8 bats. It’s a great choice for the little guy forced to use big bats. The BBCOR version will do well with a newly designed end cap (which made no difference in our exit speeds). The USA version in a drop 11 still struggled to impress.
In BBCOR, DeMarini’s Voodoo One has not changed very much. The bat has been the same X14 alloy on a smaller profile barrel with a light swing since 2017. The addition of the bat line in the USA space for 2021 is an interesting move. Single piece light swinging aluminum bats have done well enough in that space to make some sense. Otherwise, if you’re looking at older models of the Voodoo One, there is no shame in taking a serious look at older model years in the used market.
Cage and game hitting and exit speeds and direct player feedback compromise this 2020 DeMarini Voodoo Review. The bat is considered a light swinging, entry-level performance baseball bat in the single-piece aluminum space. The Voodoo One, not to be confused with the hybrid Voodoo Balanced, comes in BBCOR, USA, and USSSA. Players looking for a value deal or big and strong players that want a very light swing in a stiff bat will like the 2020 DeMarini Voodoo One. The USA bat is a real bright spot, the BBCOR version is average, and the USSSA bat is avoidable.
We have now spent considerable time both in the cage and during games with the 2018 DeMarini Voodoo One balanced. It is a light swinging version of the older Voodoo Insane and does really well against a bat like the Rawlings VELO.
Most single piece hitters like stiffer bats and end-loaded swings. DeMarini’s Voodoo One dials in the stiff feel but is considered a lighter bat. On the other hand, most younger and top of the lineup guys prefer a light swing and big barrel profile. Again, the Voodoo One does well with the light swing but doesn’t have the barrel profile many smaller hitters prefer. That isn’t to say the Voodoo One isn’t a reasonable choice. In the end, its exit speeds and player feedback are as good as any bat out there. But, to be sure, it’s a unique fit to find the player who loves a light swing and a stiff feel. These bats always do better the heavier you can swing them.
We like the 2021 DeMarini Voodoo One in BBCOR for its stiff feel and light swing. Middle power players who like stiff bats but don't want more swing weight than the average bloke can handle usually end up liking the Voodoo. The barrel profile isn't big, and it feels nothing like the two-piece composite bats of the world. But, it serves that stiff feel and light swing market very well.
Price Check
New for 2021 is DeMarini's USA Voodoo One. This light swinging drop 10 comes ina wide range of sizes at a price point in the mid $100s. Our hitters thought the bat was just fine, but doesn't have the great feel of a bat similar to the CF or CAT Connect and lacked the barrel profile to feel too impressive. If you want a single piece bat like the Solo or Omaha in USA, then the Voodoo One is a reasonable take.
Price CheckThe 2021 DeMarini Voodoo One is a single-piece aluminum bat built with a light swing. DeMarini uses their traditional X14 alloy and “Reaction” end cap in the bat. There is virtually nothing exciting about the design and makeup of the DeMarini Voodoo One. It is, after all, a bat.
