Description

From end cap to knob, the Mizuno Nighthawk Fastpitch Bat contains some of the hottest game-improving technology ever developed! Mizuno's two-piece, fully composite design utilizes their proven Black Onyx Carbon Composite in the barrel to reach maximum performance without the need of a lengthy break-in. That material alone provides top-end fastpitch performance, but a Double Wall Barrel Design paired with the new xZone Technology ensures you get higher peak performance throughout the entirety of the hitting zone. With xZone, the team at Mizuno was able to create 10 unique zones of composite to optimize performance along the barrel. Each zone features a different composite layup with specific fiber orientations. This attention to detail pays dividends as it guarantees that you'll experience the highest ball exit speeds attainable along every inch of the barrel - instead of only within one concentrated area. A stiff composite handle is then united to this premium barrel with Mizuno's patented 2-Piece LINK Technology. This thickness-tuned elastomer is key to the Nighthawk's ability to dampen vibration at a much higher rate than other bats on the market without any decrease in performance. The Nighthawk is hotter out of the wrapper, provides all of the feel and feedback you need without any vibration, and it's offered in a variety of length to weight ratios so hitters of all ages and skill levels can thrive at the plate.

The Mizuno Nighthawk -10 Fastpitch Softball Bat: MZFP160NH features a -10 length to weight ratio, is backed by a Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty and is approved for play in USSSA, ASA, NSA, ISA, and ISF. Pick yours up today with our Fast, Free Shipping!

Great Bat TK Bomber player

Pros: I love this bat. It has tremendous pop right out of the wrapper. Better than both my Xeno and LXT. The graphics are sweet and the grip is the absolute best. It swings very light for a -10.

Cons: I feel a little sting if I hit it off the handle.

Very Happy with this Bat Mark S parent

Pros: We bought this bat after borrowing one from a friend and seeing it on tv. First weekend we used it, my daughter hit over 500 with 2 triples and 2 home runs. The pop is great the feel is solid. She loves it! I rated durability a 3 simply because I haven't had enough time to measure that yet.

Cons: None

Serious Hits & Solid Feel Kris S parent

Pros: We got the bat last week. We did one round of BP and it was obvious that this bat is solid, right out of the wrapper too. My daughter is 11, is 5' 89lbs and she hit 4-5 balls higher and farther than I have ever seen her hit with her Xeno. The Nighthawk is legit.

Cons: None

Georgia Strong Beth - Go Dogs! player

Pros: I had to give this bat a shot after seeing my Bulldogs swinging it on tv. I love it and I've always been a Louisville girl. It's light, has great balance, looks cool (LOVE THE WHITE), doesn't sting, and has A LOT OF POP even right out of the wrapper. I'm 5'6", 130+ lbs and bat 5th in my line up. Oh and I love the grip! Thanks Just Bats!

Cons: I gave durability a 3 only because I haven't had it that long. So far no issues though.

How does this bat compare to the new XENO and new CF9? Is it great fit for a slapper? AE
The 2016 Mizuno Nighthawk -10 Fastpitch Softball Bat: MZFP160NH has a balanced -11 swing weight. The light swing weight provides the player with good control on the bat, which makes it a good option for a slapper.
Jason
Is this bat good for a power hitter? wild bill
The 2016 Mizuno Nighthawk -10 Fastpitch Softball Bat: MZFP160NH is a two-piece fully composite bat with a balanced swing and a -11 length to weight ratio. For a power a heavier bat would be better, such as either the 2016 Mizuno Nighthawk -10 Fastpitch Softball Bat: MZFP160NH or 2016 Mizuno Nighthawk -9 Fastpitch Softball Bat: MZFP169NH.
