Which is hotter, for distance, the Miken Ultra II Maxload or the Miken Ultra II two- piece Maxload Senior bat? Randy
The 2014 Miken Ultra II Maxload Two-Piece Senior Softball: SPU2M Slow Pitch would have the same distance then the Miken II Maxload one-piece. It would be a preference between a one-piece being more of a stiffer feel and a two-piece would add bat speed.

I am 5' 7" and weigh 180. What weight should I use? What is the drop point of bat? Stinger
Finding the best weight in a slow pitch softball bat comes down to your personal preference, strength and swing speed as there are no accurate size charts for slow pitch softball bats. Based on your general size, I would recommend a 26 oz. or 27 oz. model as the 2014 Miken Ultra II Maxload Two-Piece Senior Softball: SPU2M is an endloaded bat best suited for stronger hitters with high swing speeds. The 34" 26 oz. is a -8, the 34" 27 oz. is a -7, the 34" 28 oz. is a -6, and the 34" 30 oz. is a -4.

Is it ASA approved? johnbeav
The 2014 Miken Ultra II Maxload Two-Piece Senior Softball: SPU2M is only approved for play in SSUSA and other Senior Softball Associations.
Mac
What's the BPF rating? Atrover
The BPF rating on the 2014 Miken Ultra II Maxload Two-Piece Senior Softball: SPU2M Slow Pitch model is 1.21. This will be the bat performance factor.
Brandon
How is this bat improved over the 2013 model? Stid
The 2014 Miken Ultra II Maxload Two-Piece Senior Softball: SPU2M Slow Pitch bat has a two-piece composite design versus the one-piece design of the previous model of Ultra II Maxload. The two-piece design of the 2014 model will provide a little more trampoline effect for the player, but both bats contain the same composite and are BPF 1.21 certified for Senior Softball.
Mac
Our league only permits bats with the 2000 or 2004 ASA stamp, not the 2013 ASA stamp. Does this bat, or any others of yours, carry the older ASA stamp? Greg
The 2014 Miken Ultra II Maxload Two-Piece Senior Softball (SPU2M) Slow Pitch bat will not feature an ASA stamp of any kind. We do carry the DeMarini F5 (DXSF5) Slow Pitch, the Easton Cyclone (SP13CY) Slow Pitch, and the Anderson NanoTek SP Omega (NANOSPO)Slow Pitch which would all feature the 2004 ASA stamp.
Patrick
Which bat is better for distance, this bat or the older Miken Ultra II bats? I'm on the fence about weight either 27 or 28 oz. Since this is a Maxload, should I definitely go for a 27 oz., or even a 26 oz.? Mordo
The 2014 Miken Ultra II Maxload Two-Piece Senior Softball (SPU2M) uses newer technology for better performance and durability. The SPU2M has a 1/2 oz. end load. If you typically use a 28 oz. balanced bat, we recommend moving to a 27 oz. SPU2M.
Kara
What is the minimum temperature this bat can be safely used at without damaging the bat? JustMe
When using the 2014 Miken Ultra II Maxload Two-Piece Senior Softball (SPU2M), Miken recommends not using a composite bat under temperatures of 55 degrees.
Kyle
Which is hotter: this bat or the Miken Big Cat Macenko Ultra II bat? Also, is one more durable than the other? Rick
The Miken Ultra II Maxload Two-Piece Senior Slow Pitch Softball Bat (SPU2M) and the 2015 Miken Ultra II Big Cat Mike Macenko Endload SSUSA Slow Pitch Softball Bat (MMULT2) Senior are very comparable to each other. The main difference is that the Mike Macenko model will feature closer to a full ounce end load compared to the half ounce end load in the SPU2M. Both bats are measure to the same 1.21 BPF performance standard, so one will not outperform the other. Both bats have about the same durability as well.
Tessa
Was this bat designed for balls with COR of .44 or .52? Mike
The Miken Ultra II Maxload Two-Piece Senior Slow Pitch Softball Bat (SPU2M) is not ASA certified so it was not designed specifically for either of those style of balls. It is designed to work with the balls used for SSUSA play which are regulated like this: A 12-inch ball with a COR of .44 and a compression rating of no more than 375 psi shall be used in men"s play. An 11-inch ball with a COR of .47 and a compression rating of no more than 525 psi shall be used in women"s play. It is important to note that these bats are made more for performance than durability so the harder the ball you use, the more likely it is to break.
Patrick
What is the break-in requirement for this bat? T-Man
With the Miken Ultra II Maxload Two-Piece Senior Slow Pitch Softball Bat: SPU2M we suggest around 150 to 200 hits, starting off at about 50% power and gradually increase as your swing count rises. It is also important to rotate the bat about a 1/4 inch on every swing. This ensures that your bat gets evenly broken in.
Marcus
Miken discontined this bat (the white Ultra II maxload two-piece) a few years ago and I have been in mourning ever since. Where, besides on eBay, can I find any? Brian
Unfortunately with the Miken Ultra II Maxload Two-Piece Senior Slow Pitch Softball Bat: SPU2M being discontinued, you would not be able to find one at a retailer and thus your best bet would be a used model listed on eBay.
