Overall a great bat, just have to get used to it LJK player

Pros: The bat is going to be great once I get the feel for it. It has awesome pop and the handle is one of the stiffest I've swung. I can tell once it's broken in the balls are going to fly

Cons: Honestly the only con is the feel for me, but then again, I'm not used to an end-loaded bat so my swing is a little funky with it right now. But, if all you use is end-loaded bats you're going to enjoy this one. Mine isn't as hot out of the wrapper as apparently some are, but I'm still getting good distance when I hit the ball solid.

Great Pop Jacob Player

Pros: Great pop right out of the wrapper. Very hot bat.

Cons: No very durable. My bat busted literally the day after my 1 year warranty was up. Wish it would have lasted a bit longer.

Questions and Answers

Have a question about the Miken Freak Black Maxload USSSA Slow Pitch Softball Bat: FRKBKU? Ask our team of experts and they will respond within 24 hours.

I have heard great things about this bat. But I have read conflicting information on the end load for this bat. Does it have a 1/2 oz. or 1 oz. end load? Is it the same for both the USSSA and ASA models? RB57
The 2016 Miken Freak Black Maxload USSSA Slow Pitch Softball Bat (FRKBKU) will have a .5 oz. of end load. It will be the same on USSSA and ASA models. In Miken's Slow Pitch bat line, all Maxload bats end loads= .5 oz. All Supermax end loads= 1 oz. and all Ultra Max end loads= 1.5 oz.
Brandon
Which balls can you hit with this bat? Biggerthanadime
We would recommend using the 2016 Miken Freak Black Maxload USSSA Slow Pitch Softball Bat (FRKBKU) with the USSSA Classic M .40 COR 325 Compression balls or the Classic M Plus .52 COR 275 Compression balls.
Joe
Is this or the Kirby better? JuanGone
I would say the the 2016 Miken Freak Black Maxload USSSA Slow Pitch Softball Bat (FRKBKU) and the 2015 Easton RP Kirby Loaded USSSA Slow Pitch Softball Bat (SP15SKU) are going to be very comparable when it comes to pop and durability.
Frankie
Is this similar to the Super Freak? Pabz
The 2016 Miken Freak Black Maxload USSSA Slow Pitch Softball Bat (FRKBKU) is going to be overall similar to the Super Freak, however the Miken Freak is a two piece, while the Super Freak is a one piece.
Allison
How does this bat compare to the Miken Ultra Maxload USSSA? Brandon
The 2016 Miken Ultra 750X Maxload ASA/USSSA Slow Pitch Softball Bat (ULTALL) and the 2016 Miken Freak Black Maxload USSSA Slow Pitch Softball Bat (FRKBKU) would compare in terms of performance but the style of the bats and the feel will be different. The two-piece design or the Freak Black will flex more and have more of a whipping motion than the Ultra 750X.
Patrick
What is the end-load weight on this bat? brett
The 2016 Miken Freak Black Maxload USSSA Slow Pitch Softball Bat (FRKBKU) has a maxload end-load which is a half ounce weight.
Patrick
How does the weight feel in this bat? I normally use a 27 oz. end loaded bat but I can only find a 28 oz. on the web. Will this be a big difference? Cobbs
If you are physically strong and have good bat speed, you will not notice much of a difference between a 27 oz. and 28 oz. bat. If you have a smaller stature and do not have particularly quick hands then you may notice a slight differential in weight.
Angelique
half ounce or full ounce end loaded George
The Miken Freak Black Maxload USSSA Slow Pitch Softball Bat: FRKBKU will feature a half ounce end load.
Daveron
Is this the OG Freak Black? Chris Comer
There have been some re-releases of prior bats. The Miken Freak Black Maxload USSSA Slow Pitch Softball Bat: FRKBKU was made in 2019 to the exact standards and specs as the bat made four years prior.
