Description

New for It's time to step your game up to the NeXT level. The Miken NXT Freak is the bat that's going to take you there. By combining the most advanced layering handle system on the market with Miken's new HBF Technology, the NXT Freak is clearly a cut above the competition. HBF, or Hyperbolic Barrel Flex, Technology allows the multi-layer walls of the NXT Freak to become "fully released" for hot out of the wrapper performance! The proprietary layering of these walls extends the barrel flex to produce a 20% larger sweetspot. Vortex Handle Technology also uses multiple layers, and harnesses the power of composite braids to distribute the load evenly and increase the bat's strength. This also helps all layers move seamlessly together for optimal flex and performance. The whole bat is made from Miken's classic R900 Composite that has proven year after year that it is capable of enduring grueling play and delivering unrivaled performance. Enhancing the NXT Freak's durability even further is Miken's proprietary Durashell Technology (DST). DST acts as a composite shield on the outer shell to maximize out of the wrapper performance and overall bat longevity. An Extreme X-Tack Grip finishes off the NXT Freak to give players the comfort and tack they would expect from a bat this phenomenal. Miken: We Don't Play the Game, We Dominate It! The NXT Freak is approved for play in USSSA, NSA, ISA, and ISF. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Pros: Great bat right out the wrapper. Sweet spot is great, hitting seeds like ive been swinging this bat for a while. But after only 30 cuts on it, my bat broke. The composite weave started to come apart. Now i dont know if i got a bad bat but it sure made me feel like a bigger man than what i am.

Cons: Durability so far is bad...but im returning it and will get another. hopefully next review is better. but im still recommend this bat.

Pros: Well im back with bat #2. Definitely worth getting this one again after mt 1st one broke. Once again right out the wrapper hitting ropes to the outfield. Great sweet spot. I swing and let technology do the rest. I like a skinny handle and to me this is perfect even with the bat tape on it. Like the simple graphics and the flat paint is something i also like. Definitely a good bat to have in your arsenal. The best part its legal for next year.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Player Stat: 5'6" 150lbs. line drive hitter. This bat has very excellent feel, it felt like I was not doing any of the work when I hit the larger then life sweet spot. The ball flight and launch is very good for a balanced bat. It is easy to controll for the placement hitter and provides good release to add distance for smaller players. Bat is very hot, but also remains well constructed and very durable. It has the new USSSA stamp and I recommend this as a must have. Paint and graphics seem to be durable as well.

Cons: None with about 300 cuts of BP. At a lower outdoor temp of 60 degrees

Pros: Great Pop out of the wrapper

Cons: I had to replace the first one after 150 bp swings, then the second bat after 300 total swings. I contacted a manager and ended up getting a refund. I honestly do not know how anyone is having success with the durability of this bat.

What is the difference between a balance and a supermax bat? duke4301

The Supermax is going to have more of the weight at the end of the barre while the balanced is going to have the weight evenly distributed throughout the bat.

John

For the smaller line-drive hitter what are some of the benefits this bat can offer. HammerHead06

This bat has a large sweet spot and tons of pop which will give you an advantage in your league. This is a very good USSSA approved bat.

KG

Does this bat have the 2013 stamp? Rob

Yes, this bat does have the USSSA 1.20 BPF and will be approved.

Kris

What does it look like if the composite weave starts to come apart? HammerHead12583

From the outside, it will just look like a crack or tear

Tyler

What's the difference between SNXTBU and SNXTBA? Shredderchick

The only difference is the 2013 Miken Freak Balanced USSSA is not ASA approved. The 2013 Miken NXT Freak Balanced ASA is ASA approved.

Kara

How does this bat (non-ASA approved) compare to the Ultra II? Which bat would have the most "pop?" Why does the Ultra II not have a guarantee but this bat does? Does that suggest that the Ultra II has more power? Doc Ruth

The Ultra II is going to have more pop than the 2013 Miken NXT Freak Balanced USSSA: SNXTBU. The Ultra II does not meet ASA or USSSA regulations due to its extreme pop. To achieve this pop, it has sacrificed durability and has no warranty.

Nick D

Will this bat be legal in 2013 and beyond? Not going to buy it if it's only good for year 2013. Bugsy33

The 2013 Miken NXT Freak Balanced USSSA features the new USSSA 1.20 BPF stamp making it legal for 2013 and beyond.

Nick K.

Damon

What is the difference between the Maxload NXT Freak and the Balanced NXT Freak? Ray

The 2013 Miken NXT Freak Balanced USSSA will have a balanced swing weight. The weight on the bat is evenly distributed. The 2013 Miken NXT Freak Maxload USSSA has an end loaded swing weight. There is more weight towards the end of the bat.

Nick

Hi, I bought a Miken Freak NXT snxtbu from EBAY. It has a blue handle and is supposed to be very balanced. There is no USSSA stamp on it. Could this be a fake? Any help would be great. drew

What I would recommend is calling the manufacturer at 1-877-807-5291 and checking with them. They will have better information on the 2013 Miken NXT Freak Balanced USSSA: SNXTBU Slow Pitch bat.

Brandon

Is mid load the same as balanced? ace

A mid load will have a very slight end load to it. The weight is added to the middle of the bat creating a very slight end load to the bat.
