KnightMare
Pros: So far so good. Only hit about 60 balls. Definately needs to be broken in. Graphics are killer looking. Nice bat.
Cons: White grip doesnt stay white for long. No biggy though.
12rememberjoshua
Pros: I buy a lot of bats but this bat is truely amazing, great feel to the swing, amazing sweetspot. Breaks in really fast, I was hitting bombs right out of the wrapper. The ball still flies even when mis hit. Without a doubt this is now my favorite bat!
Cons: none
MONEY
Pros: The bat was hot right out of the box. A few swings and the ball was jumping over the fence. I love the flat grey finish.
Cons: White grip does not work well with West Virginia dirt.Dark grey would have been nice.

Jedidiah Yoder

Cons: should have bought it sooner

Cons:
NEKIM
Pros: Big Sweet Spot Lots of Distance. Best Bat Miken has made in a while
Cons: Salvo is close to this bat with a smaller sweet spot but smaller price tag.
JIMN
Pros: Very nice bat. Good size hotspot. Stay away from the end but the rest is sweet. If I lost it I would buy another tomorrow.
Cons: Out of the box the graphics had a tiny wrinkle. I thought it was a crack. It freaked me out but bat performs great!
Scott
Pros: Great Grip, feel, and weight. Has good pop, and with some break in I think it could be a beast. I just got about 1-15 quality hits on it today. I Usually swing a balanced bat, so its taking a little bit of getting used to. Hit about 6 DEEP bombs with it today though (out of those 15)
Cons: Grip gets dirty fast, and for a balanced swinger, the weight is very different and very end-loaded. But, that weight adds to the power of the bat A LOT. Sweet spot doesnt seem very large right out of the wrapper. Ill re post after its completely broken in.
God Father
Pros: Holy Cow this bad is unreal ..... Im putting the ball over trees with this bat .... feels GREAT , ONLY 20 SWINGS on it and im ROCK'n the ball . Past sunday i went 6 for 8 with 1 HR 2 screaming singles and 3 ground rule doubles ( hit into trees double not HR ) :(
Cons: NOOOOONE !
scott
Pros: miken has always been a great bat this one is just like the old ones but better it has more distance
Cons: not sure how long its gonna take to break in
DEAFPOWERDUDE
Pros: BE HONEST WITH YOU .. YES,, THIS BAT IS GREAT POP OVER FECNE NO PROBLEM !! DONT NEED SWING HIT HARD JUST SWING EASY ...IT WILL POP EASLIY...

shoe
Pros: no break in time. explodes off the bat. best $300 ever spent
Cons: every one on my team wants to use it
batman
Pros: crazy pop love this bat huge sweet spot
Cons: cant hide it from team they all want to use it its mine!
Scott
Pros: I posted a review on this bat when I first got it and gave it 4/5 stars. I am amending that with a 5/5 star rating. After getting used to the weight and breaking it in, its an absolute beast. I average at least a HR per game with this in my bag. I've always been a power hitter, but, this has definitely given me the edge I was looking for. The graphics are awesome too. Miken did an awesome job. No need to be afraid of ASA's classifications. Worth the $299.99
Cons: Like I said before, the weight feels very end-loaded for those of you that are worried about bat speed. But if you have the strength and speed to swing it, the end-load with add extreme power, even to miss-hits. The grip gets dirty a little fast, but who cares. I cant recall having a "pretty" bat that was used frequently.
MrUnderArmourX32
Pros: I got this bat 2 weeks ago and have hit with it a few times since then. The first hit out of the wrapper sounded AMAZING!! The feel of the bat is incredible. The ball screams off of this bat even straight out of the wrapper. This bat is hotter out of the wrapper than some other 200 and 300 dollar bats I've used after they were broken in. This bat will definitely be a popular one!! I am extremely glad I picked this bat. I was considering this Miken NXT Freak Supermax and the Worth 454 Legit. I'm very glad I picked the Miken over the Worth. Also, the matte white paint on this bat looks awesome!!
Cons: If I were forced to pick a con with this bat, it'd be the white color only because it gets dirty easier. I tend to like darker bats because they don't get as nasty looking as white bats. This is still a great looking bat though.
Devlin
Pros: Great Bat, no problems
Cons:
N8
Pros: I don't care what kind of rating my review gets, but I am very thankful for Miken and the pride they have for America. "Made in the USA" is printed on every bat I have seen. I am proud to be an AMERICAN and I am glad to buy from a bat company who is proud of it too.
Cons: The DC-41 is not ASA. Would love to get a piece of that.
wawa player
Pros: feels good, hit a homerun after 3 hits. Good pop off the bat for line drives, Does need some time to break in. my friend loves it and uses it all the time. i used a worth blue mayhem balanced bat for the last 2 years and imay need time to adjust to an end loaded bat. other than that, the bat does feel good to swing
Cons: sounded a little different from the blue worth mayhem, which felt awkward. I bought the 28 oz and should have went down to a 27 oz
Louie Lang
Pros: I can honestly say that I absolutely hated Miken bats before I bought this bat. This bat is the best bat that I have ever bought. I have always used a balanced Easton, so it did take a little time to get used to using the end loaded. I will say that once you get used to it you will hit 20-30% more power than you had before. If I could I would buy a stock pile!
Cons: It does take some time to get used to the end loaded feel if you are not used to it. Also feels like it takes some time to break in even though it says that it is already broken in.
wildthing
Pros: The end load takes over on this bat, even on a bad swing. On a good fundamental swing this bat will shock you. Ground balls in the infield are hard to field and liners to the outfield are hard to run down in the gaps. Good power bat. Good design, and has strength to last a long time.
Cons: None.
ritz
Pros: This made my loosing softball team a winning team. Even the girls on my team who could not hit the ball in the out field where hitting doubles last night. Worth every dollar I spent.
Cons:
Mamba
Pros: This bat is a beast. Sean finally got it out of the infield. Logan was able to make slight contact, even though he fouled out. Awesome. Sean grounded out to the 2nd baseman but the ball really exploded off the bat. Real nice sound.
Cons: Our entire team except Bidal continued to have only mid outfield power. Sean continued to pop up to the pitcher
SLEEPER4
Pros: PERFECTLY BALANCED BAT THAT ALLOWS ME TO HIT LINE DRIVES TO ALL FIELDS.
Cons: IT GET MARKED UP PRETTY QUICKLY.
Budman
Pros: I love the bat! Took it out of the box used it right away and already see the diffence in my game.i have more pop and im driving the ball farther than i ever have. Great bat!
Cons: Dont have any.
Clunky59
Pros: Great bat with pop out of the wrapper.
Cons: Handle is white and gets dirty quickly.
world12
Pros: ball jumps off this bat out of the wrapper, when it gets broke in its going to be nasty
Cons: as of right yet there are none
val
Pros: Just got his bat in the other day, was extremely excited to try it out because of all great reviews it has, and it does live up to the hype. tremendous power right out of the wrapper, went 5/6 with this my first game, including 1 home run, ball flys off this bat, can't wait until it is broken in!
Cons: white grip looks nice but turns to brown real quick :(
JD
Pros: Holy smokes this bat is hot right out of the wrapper. Love the endloaded on my bats. Can definitely notice it and if you like endloaded this is the bat for you. This bat has taken over as my #1 bat in my bag for my ASA leagues.
Cons: Expensive, but usually you can try to talk down the price. White grip gets dirty fast.
Big Zues
Pros: With this bat end loaded you are guarenteed to hit some lazers off of it.
Cons: Would not have gone with the white handle, gets dirty fast
ejs
Pros: Never hit a HR till I got this bat, awesome pop right out of the wrapper.
Cons: White grip doesn't stay white long.
Anonymous
Pros: It has alot of pop out of the wrapper and gets better and better with every hit.
Cons: Whatever weight you get it in it feels about 2oz hevier because of the supermax, so you have to get the right weight for how fast you can swing it.
Sean
Pros: Bat looks good but thats about it.
Cons: Read all the good reviews thought this was a sure thing. Have put alot of swings on this bat and not happy with its performance. Endload is not for me. I've hit homers with every bat i've ever owned except this one. I can hit further with my old metal bat than this thing.
Daniel Pracher
Pros: Just got my bat in yesterday and took it to batting cage and the pop off the bat is crazy even though those are mush balls, the sweet spot on this bat is huge and work better with a nice soft swing rather then having to try and kill the ball!!! I play my first game with it tomorrow will give more feed back tomorrow...... TO BE CONTINUED!!!!
Cons: White grip tape get dirty to easy but who cares this bat is awesome!!!
Tweets
Pros: After I finally got it to start breaking in I was dropping some surprising bombs from an asa bat. The end load was perfect on this bat, and when it started to let loose you could tell the difference right away.
Cons: Break in time was a bit longer on my bat, but worth it. Wouldn't take a star away for that.
not bad
Pros: I been a Easton for for years, but this bat is a nice hot ASA bat like my Easton salvo. Great pop
Cons: Looks
Danzyp
Pros: This bat has amazing pop right put of box i love it best bat i have ever hit
Cons:
Anonymous
Pros: Good pop, balanced well and seems to perform as described. We will see what kind of lifespan it has.
Cons: The end cap lasted one game. Improve that. Talking of the end cap on the handle knob where the length and weight is indicated. Also gets knicked up very easy.

Trying to decide if I should get the balanced or end-loaded bat. Normally swing a 2009 Easton SCN9 Stealth 27 oz and hit right/right center, 220lbs, 5'10. Should I go with a end-loaded, should I drop down to a 26oz? Not really sure if I qualify for a power hitter but most of my hits go to the outfield between right center and right gap. 1low56
