CF-Extended?? I'm a skeptic.

I am no expert, which is why I turn to you. I could lie and tell you I've done my research, but other than looking around on DFP, I haven't.

Girl showed up with a brand spanking new CF-Extended, or some such. Either way you can turn the knob and shorten the bat. I have to admit I was interested, mostly because it's a DeMarini. I am convinced the mechanism will not last through the season and that this young lady's mother might have wasted her money.

I would love to know if anyone has any experience with this bat.

Add that bat to the Easton Torque bat a few years ago that had the turning knob...haha

It was a good bp bat and a tank. Most people I knew bought them when they were dirt cheap and taped
over the knob

Yep, locked the handle down so it wouldn't move and turned it into a $85/$100 green Mako!

Right here! You'd pay 100 bucks more for the same exact bat minus the stupid torque handle. I got a fantastic hybrid composite BBCOR for my DD for next to nothing. A little epoxy and a new handle, voila!

Minus the moving handle the CF extended is the slapper bat with a righty grip. It has the longer barrel and more weight towards the hands.
