Miken Freak Black

Freak

DD got to use it today and really liked it. Unfortunately it was in a cage but the balls seemed to be coming off fast. She said she really liked it and wanted to keep it.

So Marucci Pure, Easton Mako or Miken Freak Black? My DD has swung both the Marucci and the Easton and says both are very similar and she currently uses the Mako. Is the Miken worth the investment or is it similar to the other two in performance and feel? She is looking at moving up to a 34.

After swinging them all in the last week I'd say they perform similar. I think the Mako and pure have a larger sweet spot but the Freak Black is hotter out of the wrapper than both. You will spend less on the Pure and Freak (don't pay retail)
I think it comes down to what your DD wants. The Freak does feel different and had a louder sound to it (kind of reminds me of Xeno but not as loud) It does have a larger knob and DD wants me to put a lizard grip on it. I went out again today and the Freak had the 2 farthest hits, but I still prefer the feel of the Mako.

Was looking at trying to find a 2015 Freak Black for my dd to try out. Found a couple on ebay around 219 with free shipping. Anyone found any better deals? We are wanting a 32/22 to move up from her 31/21 cf6.

Pm coresoftball for a good price on the 2016.

There is confusion of that because some sites are mistakenly advertising the freak black as a 2016 model because it was released in late 2014 but if you compare the sites calling it the 2015 and 2016 model you will see they are in fact the same bat. The true 2016 model won't be out until late this year...that came directly from Miken.
