Description

Mizuno set out to create a bat for the premier player. What emerged is the limit-pushing design of the new Mizuno Nighthawk -10 Fastpitch Softball Bat: MZNHFP. A high-level look at the Nighthawk shows a balanced, two-piece composite design. Upon closer examination, experienced players will find that this take on a traditional design will take their game to new heights. With their Patented 2-Piece LINK Construction, Mizuno has significantly reduced vibrations that players may experience on off-center hits. This technology is composed of an elastomeric material that is molded onto a stiff composite handle prior to being fused to the high-performance Black Onyx Carbon Composite Barrel. This elastomer dampens vibration and its thickness has been optimized to provide the best feel possible without sacrificing performance. With the stiffer handle, the Nighthawk can create higher batted ball speeds on off-center hits than traditional two-piece designs. Moving to the barrel, a thin polypropylene film rests between two thicker composite layers creating the Double Wall Technology. Two independent barrel walls means that the barrel flexes to its maximum allowable limit for the best performance possible.

The Mizuno Nighthawk -10 Fastpitch Softball Bat: MZNHFP is backed by a Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty and is approved for play in USSSA, ASA, NSA, ISA, and ISF. Mizuno: The Power of Team. Free Shipping!

Dead on Arrival Frustrated Parent parent

Pros: Looks Good

Cons: We had a great team of hitters until this bat was forced on us. It looks like a DeMarini, but pops like a pool noodle. Our Organization really needs to stand up to Mizuno and demand better from our "sponsor."

Nighthawk Tammi4393 player

Pros: Got this bat for $200 and I love it. Took a bit to break in but now it has so much pop. My old Xeno is staying in my bag this year.

Cons: I'm not huge on the graphics but the performance makes up for it. Will take several hitting practices to get it broke in.

Do this bat need "break" in? Stgo
The Mizuno Nighthawk -10 Fastpitch Softball Bat: FP160NH is a composite bat, so we do recommend breaking it in. I would recommend taking about 100-150 hits off a tee or soft toss, starting at 50% power and rotating the barrel 1/4'' with every hit.
