Description

New for Attention baseball players: It's time to step your game up to the NeXT level. The Miken NXT Freak is the bat that's going to take you there. By combining the most advanced handle system on the market with DFxT Technology, the NXT Freak is the most complete multi-layer youth bat on the market. DFxT Technology works to maximize energy transfer and push the bat to the limits of performance. This is accomplished thanks in part to Miken's dependable and high-performing R900 Composite. With DFxT, the intermix of aerospace grade fiber and aramid fibers in the R900 are precisely angled to result in a massive sweetspot and increased durability while eliminating vibration. It's truly bat technology at it's finest. Acting as a composite shield of sorts, Durashell Technology is applied over the R900 Composite to give it more durability and maximize performance out of the wrapper. The handle of the The NXT Freak features Miken's new Vortex Power Source that harnesses the power of braid reinforcement to increase strength and optimize performance. Each braided layer distributes the load evenly while all layers move seamlessly together for optimal flex, performance, and most importantly: FEEL. Miken: We Don't Play the Game, We Dominate It! The NXT Freak is approved for play in Little League, Babe Ruth, Dixie, Pony, AABC, and USSSA. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Cons: Some people may not like the color, but everyone knows when he's up to bat!

Pros: This bat has amazing pop! Sweetspot is like a trampolene. Well balanced and nice barrel size. 9 year old hits really nice line shots with it and even a home run in batting practice.

Cons: we are working on the third bat, exact same model. My son is 09 year old and swings hard. The first two that we had broke at the handle because he was hitting right off the end cap. Thanks to Miken for honoring the warrenty! Hope this one don't break because the barrel performance is unmistakable.

Coach K

Pros: This bat was pretty good from day one. Now that it has several BP sessions and games under the belt, it is better. The sweetspot seems to be getting bigger, and the pop is really impressive.

Cons: Durability may be a concern, but so far so good.

Pros: None

Cons: Sounds like a wood bat when you hit it...it's a dead bat. Won"t let me return or exchange. $200.00 out the window! Last time I buy from just bats.

Pros: Very Balanced. My son likes his Combat B4 a little better but he hits harder with the Freak. Swings easily. Have not experienced the paint issues that others have described.

Cons: Sweet spot smaller (but harder) than Combat B4. A little vibration when hit down towards handle. From sweet spot to cap end of the bat this is a very solid bat.

HiDad

Pros: Awesome bat. My 6y/o in coach pitch is just slamming it. He's sending it in the air on average 150'. Lots of pop even out of wrapper. I can't wait to see it broken in.

Cons: It's really bright, and white grip tape gets brown fast.

My son loves his Miken Heat, (30/18) but I fear he has out grown it. He is 11 years old 5' and 100 lbs. Is this a good next bat or would the Easton S or XL series be better choice? Thanks. Coach Rey
I always recommend sticking with what the player knows and is comfortable with. If he is been using the Heat with success, I absolutely think the NXT would be a great choice.
