what happened to the miken freak bat?

[fastpitchtwinz]

We've had a couple Freaks and LOVE them. My girls were just told, yesterday, that their bat cannot be used in their HS games due to it being 'too damaged'. So we're looking to get a new one...exact same as current one (32 in drop 10). Can't find them...and Miken site only has Rev Ex and Triad and Halo???? Did they discontinue the Freak and what replaced it? Thanks!

Did they have the FX700 or the Freak NXT? The NXT replaced the FX700. Both can be found on the web if you look around. The FX700 does not have the new USSSA Stamp.

They have the FX700 (white), I think, and that's perfect...it's 32 in and 22 oz. They also have a NXT (gold) that's 33 in and 23 oz but a tad too heavy. The white FX700 22 oz Freak is perfect and I can only find one seller on ebay and it's pricey. Not sure if I should bite the bullet or try the Rev Ex or get the gold NXT in 22 oz for less on ebay. Decisions...decisions.

I think the FX700 is the best of those choices if you don't need the new stamp. Maybe try to find the Worth 454 (not legit)...the same year as the FX700 if you don't have any luck or make the guy an offer on the bay. That price is ridiculous...you could get them for $75.00 about a year ago LOL. DD switched to Easton after her FX700 and loves it btw.

Went with the 32 in drop 10 NXT...was cheaper and we do need the USSSA stamp (not much but will play some). Thanks for the help!

Good luck!

I have been hoping Miken would get rid of that name for years. How many years has that name been played out?

Now they need to ditch it completely for SP bats. I feel the same way about the Ultra name.

You can make a bat " hotter" by sticking Ultra on it

-9

CORESOFT, why no -9 in Mako or 2Legit? Easton just released a -8 FX1... Are they worried about durability with power hitters? They aren't using the new technology in slow pitch to my knowledge.

If they made a -9 2Legit, it would already be in DD's bag
