Posted on May 7, 2013 by Derek H

Miken takes the slow pitch field by storm with the new 2014 Psycho SuperMax USSSA and 2014 Ultra 750X Maxload ASA.

The Psycho SuperMax USSSA is Miken’s new Jeremy Isenhower signature model and made in the U.S.A. It’s a one-piece design made from premium Aerospace Grade 100 Comp carbon fiber and features an extended 14.5” barrel length. The SuperMax has an end load that will help you generate some incredible power. It is certified for USSSA, NSA, ISA and ISF.

The Ultra 750X Maxload ASA is a one-piece full composite bat made in the U.S.A. It gets its name from Miken’s groundbreaking 750X HPI Technology. This new technology injects high-strength aerospace grade epoxy under intense pressure to create an incredibly durable and high performing composite material. The Ultra has a maxload end load swing weight, so your swing will have the added power that every bomber seeks. The Ultra has the new ASA stamp and is legal for ASA play only.

Performance That Will Have You Flipping Out!

Posted on February 18, 2013 by Tommy F

The 2013 Flipper is DeMarini’s bold answer to the new ASA soft compression balls. It is a true game changer that is getting rave reviews from every Weekend Warrior that has gotten their hands on it. The Flipper’s new technology combined with the new ASA standards result in one of the hottest slow pitch bats on the market, and one of the most forgiving.

With the release of the 2013 Flipper, DeMarini introduced it’s Divergence Technology which is designed to extend the sweet spot horizontally around the barrel. The Divergence Barrel features two layers of composite fiber to create the “air gap” that is responsible for making the bat more forgiving and hotter with the new 52 Core 300 Compression balls.

The technology isn’t limited to the barrel of the bat. The Flipper has an SC4 alloy handle which is the stiffest alloy DeMarini has to offer as well as the Dish End Cap. The SC4 handle and Dish End Cap work together to trap energy in the barrel. The stiff handle helps to reduce the flex and the end cap drives the energy back to the barrel, which allows you to take a leisurely stroll around the bases after the ball soars over the fence.

Check out other comparable ASA bats like the 2013 Worth 454 Mutant, 2013 DeMarini The ONE FU-Dawg, 2013 COMbat Wanted, and 2013 Miken Triad at JustBats.com.

Big Barrels and Big Performance!

Posted on February 4, 2013 by Megan P

One of the most common questions we receive at JustBats.com is, “what is the difference between Junior Big Barrel and Youth Big Barrel?” This is a great question and can be confusing to players or parents shopping for a new bat. Don’t worry, we’re here to help!

Junior Big Barrel bats most commonly have a 2 ¾” barrel diameter with length to weight ratios between -10 and -12. They are designed for use by players between the ages of 4-8. Junior Big Barrel bats are designed for use in Coach Pitch leagues only. The reason for this is that the barrel walls are extremely thin. If they are used in Kid Pitch or Machine Pitch leagues, they have a much higher likelihood of becoming defective (dents/cracks). The 2 ¾” barrel, combined with the light weight, make them perfect bats for kids just starting to develop their swing. Take a look at some of our most popular Junior Big Barrel bats.

Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha

Youth Big Barrel bats most commonly have a 2 ⅝” barrel diameter with length to weight ratios between -5 and -10. They are designed for use by players between the ages of 8-13. Youth Big Barrel bats are often referred to as “Senior League” bats. These bats are used as a stepping stone to the Adult BBCOR bats used in high school and college that have a -3 length to weight ratio. There are more options in manufacturers, bat construction and bat types in the Youth Big Barrel category because they can be used in more leagues. Here are some of our hottest Youth Big Barrel bats.

Miken Doesn’t Play the Game… They Dominate It!

Posted on January 25, 2012 by Kyle T

Miken is back in the baseball world and better than ever. This week we saw the release of the brand new RZR line. The RZR is available in BBCOR, Senior League 10, Youth -12, and Junior Big Barrel -10. When the research and development department at Miken sat down to design this year’s line they really took player input into consideration. In past years players were calling for more pop and big barrels. Well, due to rule changes in just about every league, player’s requests have changed. Now we hear requests for better balance and more bat speed. This is exactly what Miken had in mind with the new RZR line.

The RZR features the T3000 alloy. Outside of the one engineer that might read this blog, no one knows what that means. The T3000 alloy is one of the strongest in the industry. Due to the strength of this alloy Miken was able to create a bat with thinner walls and a bigger sweet spot to enhance consistent performance. With thinner walls in the barrel they were also able to create balanced weight distribution to maximize swing speed. Players asked for balance and speed and that is exactly what they will get with the new RZR line.

After swinging the RZR Adult (ABRZR3) I was very impressed. Most of the first generation BBCOR bats had a tendency to be very end-loaded. That is not the case with the ABRZR3. You can really feel the thinner walls effect on the balance. This bat swings like BESR bats of the past. After about ten hits I was really starting to square the ball up. Miken has always had great grips on their bats, but the new Extreme X-Tack grip really feels great in your hands. It almost felt like the bat had pine tar on it. The thin walls in the barrel were very responsive. You can tell they spent the extra time and money to make this bat perform at a peak level. When you consider it is priced at $199.99, and comes with some state of the art graphics, I would feel confident putting the RZR up against the XL3/S3, CAT5, and 5150. Miken took their time on the release of this bat and I personally was very, very, impressed.
