Discussion: 2021 DeMarini Denny Crine

Can anyone tell me on the DeMarini Denny Crine softball bat the durability and break in bp cuts. For an older senior at 71 with above average power.
To late for durability. Started chipping at 125 bp swings and busted at 215 bp swings. 375/44 core tattoo balls. Temp 78.I was hoping it would have lasted a little longer. I might have got a bad one.
Mine cracked after 240 swings. Above 70 F. 375/44. Great bat, but you have to have a lot of money for replacement bats. I expect more out of DeMarini
I bought the demarini denny crine 2021 senior, i was planning on using it at the worlds this week and after 300-400 cuts in very favorable weather in southern California using 44/375 the bat felt flat like it deflated, the bat has no cracks ( I check bats after every Bp session) so i will swing the Adidas Melee green 13" with well over 1000 swings in the last 3 years , kind of disappointing in the end result.
My buddy had one cracked in about 300 swing and it wasn’t hot out of the wrapper.. I would avoid it for the money and go with something else ....

Hope that helps
My experience so far with this bat is that it is holding up but probably only has 150-200 cuts maybe. Was hot even with the wrapper on it, lol. I don't use it that much in games but when I do, I usually get good results. Unfortunately our league uses the 52/300 balls and this bat hits those well so would imagine the 44s would fly with this bat (not sure how durability would be). In this video, I think we were hitting mostly classic M balls. IMO, my bat is hot but I cannot speak to durability just yet.

Mine cracked after 125 swings, but before it cracked, it was awesome!
Junk and I mean JUNK! I broke the first one I purchased last year within 25 swings and than the replacement in 50 swings. ZERO durability. Don't waste your money.
I picked up a Demarini Denny Crine last week and it came with a 1 year warranty card in the wrapper. I was shocked. So if it breaks no big deal.
I am 72 and broke this years model in 170 swings. I emailed demarini and they said the warranty was only 30 days, and it took them 10 days to email me back.
