New for The JNX11C features the USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp and is approved for play in 2012! Attention baseball players: 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 handle system on the market with DFxT Technology, the NXT Freak is the most complete multi-layer big barrel bat on the market. DFxT Technology works to maximize energy transfer and push the bat to the limits of performance. This is accomplished thanks in part to Miken's dependable and high-performing R900 Composite. With DFxT, the intermix of aerospace grade fiber and aramid fibers in the R900 are precisely angled to result in a massive sweetspot and increased durability while eliminating vibration. It's truly bat technology at it's finest. Acting as a composite shield of sorts, Durashell Technology is applied over the R900 Composite to give it more durability and maximize performance out of the wrapper. The handle of the The NXT Freak features Miken's new Vortex Power Source that harnesses the power of braid reinforcement to increase strength and optimize performance. Each braided layer distributes the load evenly while all layers move seamlessly together for optimal flex, performance, and most importantly: FEEL. This bat is intended for use by players 5-8 years old. Miken: We Don't Play the Game, We Dominate It! The NXT Freak features the USSSA 1.15 BPF stamp and is approved for play in It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Noah's Dad

Pros: The bat has a great look. The weighting is good.

Cons: When my son hits the ball with this bat the ball goes no where. I am not sure if it is because it is a 26/14.5 or if it is the bat through out the sizes.

head bat buyer

Pros: light, good weight balance for a big barrel bat aimed at younger players.

Cons: The manufacturer does not tell you that this bat is intended for 5-8 yr old COACH (slow) pitch baseball and not intended for machine or player pitch ball. JustBats experts revealed this warning. Had I known that I would not have bought this bat for my 9 yr old elite fast pitch player. Spend the extra $40 for a better bat, like an Easton Omen

Pros: bat looks great.

Cons: first bat cracked after 8 games. sent in and got another one. 2nd bat the handle broke after 2 games. i am done with miken the bats are made cheap and do not hold up.a 7 year old kid should not be able to do this to a bat. i am going with a louisville slugger or easton. dont waste your money on these cheap made bats.

wondering in Oklahoma

Pros: Love the bat, great pop, but have some reservations about it. Bought it for my son (8 yrs. old and 60 lbs.) we are half way through the season and the last ball that was hit with it made a "thud" sound instead of a "crack" sound that the bat usually generates. It appears to be cracking!!!!! Lasted maybe 20 games, is this normal? Love the bat, but is this normal for composite bats?

Cons: Possible lack of longevity.

Pros: Looks cool, light swing weight.

Cons: I'm a fan of Miken composites and had high hopes for this but the bat is just dead. No pop whatsoever. I was hoping this would get better when broken in but that's not the case. Worst Miken my kids have ever used!

Pros: The bat was delivered just in time for my last game. It has good pop off the bat. Still breaking it in and my son swings it really well. All the kids are wanting to try it. We are a 7U team from Louisiana and it has changed my sons game greatly.

Cons: The grip is white so it gets dirty really fast. The grip is all ready coming off after one game.

Tyler
Will this bat work in machine pitch, up to 40 mph? Bighurt27
Junior Big Barrel bats have thinner walls and are only intended to be used in coach pitch. Using the JNX11C with hardcore baseballs will question the durability.
Kara
What oz bat should I get for my son? He is 7 years old an is 4 and half feet tall and 58 lbs. hitmen10
We suggest a 29" 17.5 oz bat in the JNX11C NXT Freak. The JNX11C is a very good choice, has a very balanced feel and very good pop.
KB
What is the difference in Junior and Senior league what ages? Timcoach
Thanks for the question! Senior League bats are usually made for ages 9 through 15 and rang from 27 to 34 inches in length. Junior league bats are made for ages 4 through 7 are made for pitching under 40 MPH. The Junior League bats are 24 to 27 inches in length and are usually -10 to -14 length to weight ratio.

Yes. If you look at the product images and bat features, the new USSSA stamp is on this bat.

Kara
My son is 7 and small (45 pounds). Trying to decide between the Miken NXT Freak Big Barrell (-11.5) or the the Easton S1 Big Barrell (-12). Looking to create more bat speed, which one would you recomend? BC
If generating more bat speed is a key component, I would lean towards the S1 as it will have a slightly lighter swing weight than the NXT.

No. Only 2 1/4 inch bats are legal in Little League coach pitch or machine pitch. The JNX11C has a 2 3/4 inch barrel.

About the Brand

During the past few years, serious softball players have looked to Miken Sports for bats that provide the highest levels of performance and durability. Our relentless focus on both technology and the demands of players has made Miken the most demanded line of softball bats today.

Miken pioneered the modern high-performance composite softball bat in 1998 and has pushed the limits with every model since. No other bat company has driven innovation as hard, and the results are indisputable. Look around. If a player is serious about softball, they are most likely swinging a Miken bat.

The success of Miken Sports has been driven by two forces - innovation and a passion for delivering what players demand. The results are obvious. Players have decided that composites are the future for bats, and no one does composite like Miken.
