Description
New for After being drafted out of Missouri State University in 2002 and spending a brief stint in minor league baseball, Jeremy Isenhower has since taken over the slow pitch game and has earned the honor of having his own signature Miken bat! The new Freak Ink SuperMax is one of the hottest bats to hit the field in years! Made from Miken's renowned R900 Composite, the Freak Ink is proven to outperform and outlast any other bat on the field. This is due in part to the MPa7 Resin System that is exclusively calibrated to optimize the performance and resilience of Miken's premium carbon fiber materials. These fibers are then precisely aligned and bonded using Multilayer Biaxial Technology to produce unrivaled durability and performance. Finally, Miken adds their proprietary Durashell Technology to act as a composite shield on the outer shell and maximize performance out of the wrapper. The Freak Ink features Miken's SuperMax end-load that helps stronger players get the most out of every cut they take! The handle of the Freak Ink is wrapped with Miken's new X-Tack PLUS that provides extreme knob grip for even more control. And just like Jeremy Isenhower, the Miken Freak Ink SuperMax is made in the U.S.A.! Miken: We Don't Play the Game, We Dominate It! The Freak Ink is approved for play in USSSA, NSA, ISA, and ISF. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

If its end loaded and i usuallyb swing a 27. what weight should i use in this bat? T
To get the full benefits of an endloaded bat, it's typically best to use the same size as your balanced, or non-endloaded bat. That is, if you have above average strength and swing speed. So, a 27 oz. Miken Freak Ink bat is recommended.

The first non ASA bat I ever owned was the Miken NRG 600 and have not found another Miken that could match it. Do you think the Ink can change that? rice54

Is the Ink better than the 2013 Miken Super Freak Maxload? cdev
The 2013 Miken Super Freak Maxload, and the 2013 Miken Freak Ink SuperMax USSSA are going to be very similar in terms of durability and pop. Both bats will have the same swing weight as well.
Noah
Do you make a bat that is ASA with the same quality as the Freak Ink? 512ATX
ASA bats with the old ASA stamp will not have much pop as USSSA bats but are still made with high quality materials. Miken's top performing ASA bats are the Miken Ultra ASA and the Miken Triad ASA. These two bats feature the new ASA stamp and are approved for ASA play only.

How is the durability as well as performance of this bat in cold weather, such as Denver, CO? Fall, winter and spring seasons? This is where I will be playing. snake
There have been no reports of the 2013 Miken Freak Ink SuperMax USSSA: IZZYMU having sub-par performance or durability in colder temperatures. However, we don't recommend using any bat in temperatures below 55 degrees.
Tyler
How much end load do they have, 1/2 oz. or 1 oz? I am a power hitter, I've always swung balanced bats. Should I switch to end loaded? Mule
The 2013 Miken Freak Ink SuperMax USSSA will have a full 1 oz. end loaded weight. However, if you've always swung balanced bats, switching to an end loaded bat without practicing could negatively impact your performance.

Which bat is better, this or the new Psycho? cory

Tori
What does a rattle in the bat mean? eric
Typically a rattle inside the 2013 Miken Freak Ink SuperMax USSSA (IZZYMU) indicates a piece of composite material has come loose inside the bat. This will not affect the performance of the bat.
Kara
Which is better Miken Freak Ink or Resmondo Legit? phelps
The 2013 Miken Freak Ink SuperMax USSSA (IZZYMU) and the Resmondo Legit both feature an end loaded swing weight, typically preferred by power hitters. The main difference between these two bats will be the one-piece design featured in the Freak Ink or the two-piece design of the Resmondo Legit. Power hitters tend to prefer stiffness of the one-piece design. Two-piece bats tend to have more flex so they are generally preferred by contact hitters who may need the extra "give" the two-piece design offers. Ultimately, both are high performing models, it depends on what kind of design you prefer.
Tessa L.
Is the 2013 Miken Freak Ink Supermax USSSA (IZZYMU) Slow Pitch model a balanced bat or end loaded? Macdaddy
The 2013 Miken Freak Ink Supermax USSSA (IZZYMU) Slow Pitch model has a 1 oz. end load.
Damon
I'm looking at the Ink and the new Psycho, of the two bats which one would you say has more pop? Butcher #9
The Miken Freak Ink SuperMax USSSA (IZZYMU) and the 2015 Miken Izzy Psycho SuperMax (SPSYMU) are both very high performing bats. the New Psycho uses upgraded 750X composite materials for enhanced performance and durability.
Kara
What difference is there between the Miken Freak Ink SuperMax USSSA and Miken Freak Ink Maxload USSSA? BK
The difference between these two models will be in the amount of endload in the barrel. The Miken Freak Ink SuperMax USSSA (IZZYMU) will have 1.0 oz of endload while the Miken Freak Ink Maxload USSSA will only have a 0.5 oz endload.
Bobby
Does the Miken Freak Ink need to be broken in or ready to use? RTS21
Yes, Miken Freak Ink SuperMax USSSA (IZZYMU) Slow Pitch will require a break-in of about 100-150 swings.
Aaron
Is there any harm to letting the whole team use my bat? What are the chances of this reducing the lifetime of the bat? What suggestions can you offer? "That guy"
The Miken Freak Ink SuperMax USSSA (IZZYMU) Slow Pitch like all composite bats, will have an increased lifespan if the use is limited to a single player. It can be difficult to tell other players no, but limiting it to personal use will help prolong the performance and lifespan of the bat.
Patrick
Is this bat approved under the new rules, 1.20 BPF? Kirk
The Miken Freak Ink SuperMax USSSA (IZZYMU) has the new USSSA 1.20 BPF stamp.
Kara
How do you know if you have a SuperMax or Maxload? Shift
Bats like the Miken Freak Ink SuperMax USSSA Slow Pitch Softball Bat (IZZYMU) should be labeled with what type of end-loading weight they have. With the differences only being about a half ounce in swing weight between the two, it would be tough for the average player to be able to differentiate between the two just by feel.
Patrick
