Description

The new Psycho Hybrid Youth bat will undoubtedly be a game changer this season! Miken's Hybrid Technology fuses aerospace grade carbon fiber with tempered alloy to deliver phenomenal performance at the plate! The barrel of the Psycho is constructed using Miken's E-Flex 700 Alloy. This alloy is the strongest in the Miken arsenal and allows the Psycho to have thinner walls for maximum barrel flex and outstanding performance. The handle is made from R900 Carbon Fiber that provides 38.8% higher tensile strength and 40% higher elongation than the industry standard carbon fiber. R900 is proven to endure grueling play, deliver unrivaled durability and maximize performance! Miken uses Advanced Inner Flex Technology on the Psycho to precisely calibrate handle flex and energy transfer allowing for optimal barrel rebound. For players this means that they get that extra trampoline effect that will send the ball flying! The Psycho is finished off with an Extreme X-Tack grip that gives players the optimal amount of tack for true comfort and bat control. The Psycho is proudly Made in the USA and approved for play in Little League, Babe Ruth, Dixie Youth, Pony, and AABC. Miken: Elite Equipment for the Elite Player! This bat is backed by a Full 400 Day Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Pros: This bat has some serious pop, very well balanced, extreme limited sting....and combined with the paint job, ooozes with confidence any kid that uses it.

Cons: Although the "pros" stand out...within a week`s use a handle/barrel fusion crack occured. Since then, a second crack has also happened. Amazingly, the performance hasn`t tapered as much as you would expect. Have yet to send it back under warranty. Hopefully all will work out.

Pros: Great look feels well balance seems to have good ball reaction even miss hits have pretty good pop

Cons: Ball marks easy white grip gets dirty easy and after 3 games painted started cracking at fusion doesn't seem to effect the performance yet but not happy to spend that much for a bat that cracked in 2 weekends

Pros: Does have good pop after several weeks

Cons: First bat lasted 2 weeks before breaking at the handle....returned for replacement. Now second bat has broken at the handle. Now I am just out the money because they told me they would only replace one bat. Stay away from this bat. Miken should stick with composite softball bats. They obviously have no clue when it comes to baseball composite.

Pros: looks good

Cons: I bought two of these for my son who is 5 feet tall and around 90 lbs. Both bats were busted with in a month and half. Got the new Freak NXT, don't waste your money only lasted 15 - 20 swings and busted.

Is this bat like the Miken Heat and others that are carbon fiber and can not be used in cold weather? morton 13
This bat is 100% alloy and will withstand colder temperatures better than composite (carbon fiber) bats.

How long does it take to break in? The common complaint that I have been reading on product reviews is that your bats are prone to cracking. johnny
This bat has an alloy barrel and a composite handle and it doesn't really require a very extensive break-in period. I would still recommend taking about 100 hits of a tee between 40-60% power prior to using it versus live pitching. Miken is the manufacture of this bat and they have made some upgrades in order to increase the durability of their bats. For more specific inquiries, you can contact Miken at 1-877-807-5291.

I SEE THAT THE PSYCHO HYBRID IS LEGAL FOR USSSA. DOES IT MATTER WHAT THE STAMP LOOKS LIKE? I HATE TO GET THE BAT AND BECAUSE THE STAMP IS NOT THE "NEW" STAMP IT NOT BE LEGAL. wolfpackof2
Next year all bats will have to have the USSSA stamp on them to be considered legal in play. The YBPS12 does not have the new USSSA 1.15BPF stamp.

About the Brand

During the past few years, serious softball players have looked to Miken Sports for bats that provide the highest levels of performance and durability. Our relentless focus on both technology and the demands of players has made Miken the most demanded line of softball bats today.

Although composites are the latest trend in softball bats, the technology has been the core of Miken's success since the company's inception. Miken pioneered the modern high-performance composite softball bat in 1998 and has pushed the limits with every model since. No other bat company has driven innovation as hard, and the results are indisputable. Look around. If a player is serious about softball, they are most likely swinging a Miken bat.

The success of Miken Sports has been driven by two forces - innovation and a passion for delivering what players demand. The results are obvious. Players have decided that composites are the future for bats, and no one does composite like Miken.
