Pros: My son was disappointed when LL outlawed his Freak bat 2 years ago. This NXT Freak bat is even better than the Original. Great Pop. Very cool color scheme. He's having a lot of fun breaking it in!!
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.
10 years old
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.
jay tee
Pros: This is avery balanced bat i have had some very big hits with this bat and i am very happy with tis bat for the price.i recommend this bat!
Cons: i have no CONS!
JMM
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.
bbhalldad
Pros: Great pop.... You can see the bat for sure!
Cons: Cracked after 1 season. Miken replacing for free
Clarion All Star
Pros: Tremendous pop off the bat, my 7 year old son loves this bat.
Cons: None
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.
Pearland Vipers
Pros: Great Pop out of the Wrapper and my son loves the Color!
Cons: We went through 3 Bats and all of the started paint cracking after a bucket of balls so we had to unfortunately give up on it!
Anonymous
Pros: My son loves this bat. The color gets people looking but the velocity of the ball leaving the bat gets them talking. Great bat.
Cons: The white grips get dirty very fast.

Hey jusbats is the 2013 miken nxt youth a 1piece design r two piece x dad
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
