The Miken Freak Black, slowpitch softball bat is a two-piece, 100% composite build, made from premium aerospace grade composite fibres. With integrated Flex 2 power technology, this bat gives you the optimal barrel flex and bat speed through the zone. The barrel on this bat is 14 inches, and is topped off by a 0.5 ounce end-load, to really increase the speed and power of this bat.
Even though this is a power hitter’s bat, it’s also extremely easy to control, especially compared to some of the other power bats on the market. It’s also designed with Triple matrix core technology, which increases the composite volume of the barrel by 5% for a seamless design that greatly increases the durability of this long-lasting bat.
Last but not least, the sweet spot on this bat is enormous, so you can make the optimal contact with the ball more consistently. If you’re a power hitter hitting a plateau with how far you can smash the ball, the Miken Freak Black will take your game the extra mile.

When they talk about hot out of the wrapper, this bat is what they’re referring to. I was never even close to hitting balls to the fence line. Now, I’m regularly hitting balls right over the fence. The difference is crazy. This is a powerful bat, and the end-loaded tech on it makes it super fast. It’s got a great big sweet spot, and is fun as hell to use. Mainly because it’s improved my performance so much for doing nothing but buying a better bat lol. I’d recommend this to anyone playing competitively who wants to play at the top of their game.
The balance on this bat is fantastic. I didn’t think it would be super balanced and easy to use due to the extra 0.5 ounces on the end, which ultimately makes it a power hitter’s bat. But as an aspiring power hitter who still needs something easy to control, this bat worked like a charm! Pretty hot out of the wrapper too, although you’re going to want to take 50 – 100 swings before bringing it on the field to compete. Shipping worked perfectly too, no hassle. I’d recommend this bat to other players like me… who are looking to fast track a bit to the big, power hits.
