Quality Bat So Far Steve Player

Pros: Bought this bat because I was a huge fan of my buddy's 2018 U-Trip version of this, but play more competitive ASA so kind of knew what I was getting. Bought the bat to add a couple extra feet to my consistent warning track hits. So far has met expectations and gotten better with a few swings. Still only about 25 swings in, but so far, so good. The couple people I trust with my bat have enjoyed swinging it, and I can only expect it to get better. Good grip, quality sound.

Cons: Nothing so far.

Solid Bat Will Farr Player

Pros: Started hitting bombs right out of the wrapper. You can tell however that it takes some time to get it broken in. Once it gets about 100 swings on it, balls will start to fly.

Cons: I received my KP23 and the end cap was slightly ajar. I sent it back the next day and justbats had the replacement to me the same week. Be sure to double check the end cap when you receive your bat.

Great bat Tyler Jackson Player

Pros: Design and graphics are amazing. Bat feels very grippy.

Cons: Feels like there is a small sweet spot. There was a hash in the grip tape when first bought. The bottom sticker showing the weight and length was missing.

Questions and Answers

Have a question about the Miken Freak 23 12" Maxload ASA Slow Pitch Softball Bat: MKP23A? Ask our team of experts and they will respond within 24 hours.

Is there a break in period for this bat? Dave
The 2019 Miken Freak 23 12" Maxload ASA Slow Pitch Softball Bat: MKP23A will have a break in period of approximately 150 hits, because of the composite construction the 2019 Miken Freak 23 12" Maxload ASA Slow Pitch Softball Bat: MKP23A will require a break in period.
Max
Is this the bat that replaces the 20th Anniversary Maxload ASA from last year? (loved the purple ASA maxload from last year). Randy B.
The Miken Freak 23 12" Maxload ASA Slow Pitch Softball Bat: MKP23A has replaced the Miken Freak 23 Maxload ASA Slow Pitch Softball Bat: MFK23A from last year; this previous model featured a blue barrel with yellow grip tape.
Cameron
Does this bat have more pop than the Freak Ultra that seniors use? steve
Sadly, the Miken Freak 23 12" Maxload ASA Slow Pitch Softball Bat: MKP23A will not because the ASA certification does not allow performance on the same level as the Senior League models.
Tyler
What is the rationale for not allowing this bat in senior tournaments which allow the Ultra? I think Miken is costing themselves by not conforming to the 1.20 rating. Brian
Unfortunately this Miken Freak 23 12" Maxload ASA Slow Pitch Softball Bat: MKP23A is ASA certified which means it will not feature a 1.20 rating; this is only associated with USSSA models. Since ASA and USSSA have different standards and testing protocols this is why Miken has it as only being ASA approved. MIken does make the Miken Freak 23 12" Maxload USSSA Slow Pitch Softball Bat: MKP23U which has the 1.20 rating stamp. Senior slow pitch though are 1.21 rated.
Cameron
Is this bat ok to use with a 44 375 core ball? Steve
The certification on the Miken Freak 23 12" Maxload ASA Slow Pitch Softball Bat: MKP23A would recommend usage with 52 300 core balls. Typically, USSSA uses the 44/375 balls. The Miken Freak 23 12" Maxload USSSA Slow Pitch Softball Bat: MKP23U would be the USSSA approved option.
Daveron
Is this bat good with the SB 12 Slowpitch ASA softballs? Sean
As long as the SB 12 softball has the 52 COR/300 Compression rating, this 2019 Miken Freak 23 12" Maxload ASA Slow Pitch Softball Bat (MKP23A) should show solid performance and durability.
Ben
Considering this bat for my girlfriend. Can you use this bat with 44/375 11” balls as these are the balls our league uses. Rob
The Miken Freak 23 12" Maxload ASA Slow Pitch Softball Bat: MKP23A should work just fine using the 44/375 ball.
Cameron
Is it end loaded? ty
The Miken Freak 23 12" Maxload ASA Slow Pitch Softball Bat: MKP23A features a 1/2 ounce end-load.
Cameron
What is the PSI on this bat? Jack
Unfortunately we are not aware of what the PSI is on the Miken Freak 23 12" Maxload ASA Slow Pitch Softball Bat: MKP23A.
Cameron
How does this bat compare to the Freak Platinum? David Esposito
The Miken Freak 23 12" Maxload ASA Slow Pitch Softball Bat: MKP23A features a 12 inch barrel while the Miken Freak Platinum had a 14 inch barrel. This would be the main difference between the two bats. Even though both bats feature a 1/2 ounce end load, one will feel the Freak 23 to be slightly heavier due to the compacted barrel length.
Cameron
