The Miken NXT (Freak) is a -9, 100% composite bat that incorporates proprietary technologies to extend barrel flex and increase the size of its sweet spot for ultimate performance. This bat integrates an advanced handle layering system with Miken’s signature Hyperbolic Barrel Flex technology for a hot out of the wrapper bat that’s become famous for its monster hits. The multi-layer walls on this bat’s barrel, combined with Miken’s layering technology, makes the sweet spot on this bat 20% larger than the average bat from competitors.

The Miken NXT uses Miken’s Vortex handle design, which uses braided layers for added durability, a more evenly distributed load, and ultimate flex. Crafted with R900 carbon fiber, this bat also offers 38.9% higher tensile strength, and 40% higher elongation than bats using industry standard carbon fiber. This not only leads to a better performance, but ensures season-after-season durability. This is further aided by Miken’s proprietary durashell design, a sort of composite “shield” on the barrel that not only reinforces the bat, but contributes to its hot out of the wrapper performance.

This bat is approved for play in the USSSA, NSA, ISA, ASA, and ISF.  It comes with a one-year warranty that protects against manufacturing defects. The Miken NXT was proudly made right here in the United States.
