Description

Mizuno set out to create a bat for the premier player. What emerged is the limit-pushing design of the new Mizuno Nighthawk -10 Fastpitch Softball Bat: MZNHFP. A high-level look at the Nighthawk shows a balanced, two-piece composite design. Upon closer examination, experienced players will find that this take on a traditional design will take their game to new heights. With their Patented 2-Piece LINK Construction, Mizuno has significantly reduced vibrations that players may experience on off-center hits. This technology is composed of an elastomeric material that is molded onto a stiff composite handle prior to being fused to the high-performance Black Onyx Carbon Composite Barrel. This elastomer dampens vibration and its thickness has been optimized to provide the best feel possible without sacrificing performance. With the stiffer handle, the Nighthawk can create higher batted ball speeds on off-center hits than traditional two-piece designs. Moving to the barrel, a thin polypropylene film rests between two thicker composite layers creating the Double Wall Technology. Two independent barrel walls means that the barrel flexes to its maximum allowable limit for the best performance possible.

The Mizuno Nighthawk -8 Fastpitch Softball Bat: FP168NH is backed by a Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty and is approved for play in USSSA, ASA, NSA, ISA, and ISF. Mizuno: The Power of Team.

The Nighthawk Brett parent

Pros: Soft feel, great improvement in the very first game. The ball feels like it pops off the bat with little effort. My daughter is very happy with this bat.

Cons: Settled for the -8 bat, but wanted to find a -5.
