Nighthawk = Home Runs TballBB parent

Pros: I hadn't had much experience with Mizuno before this season. My son tried other bats from players on his team including the Voodoo and CF5. The balance on the Mizuno is great. The price is good and the results are amazing! The ball jumps off the barrel.

Cons: None - we love this bat

Great Option Josh parent

Pros: Mizuno came to the city we live in and let different teams demo their bats. My son fell in love with this bat. He was crushing the ball. This is the 1st alloy barrel I have bought for him in a while. He has always used a composite bat. The Nighthawk has great pop and I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Cons: None so far. We've had it about 2 weeks and my son has already had about 500 swings in the cage with it.

Must have bat for 2016 Tim Darvish coach

Pros: Big bat easy to swing for the little guy. Pop is crazy! Great sound. 31" feels like a 28" for more plate coverage.

Amazing Bat Mike parent

Pros: I purchased my son Mizuno's first baseball bat in the Generation last year and had amazing success. We saw they came out with a two piece this year and decided to give it a try. We were amazed again. Great bat! Amazing pop with zero break in. My son doesn't get any sting in this bat and it's sounds great. Give this bat a shot. You won't be disappointed!

Cons: None. Love this bat

Home Run Hitter Coach T parent

Pros: This is the little bat that could. My son is crushing the ball even when he doesn't make solid contact. It has a great "ping" sound and doesn't sting his hands. We attended several demo days before deciding on this one and I will say it's the best -10 bat on the market.

Cons: Nothing. Amazing Bat.

Best Bat I've Owned! HLE player

Pros: With the 2 3/4 inch barrel you just can't miss the ball. The difference thicknesses in the barrel makes the ball jump off the bat with an awesome sound. I can't say enough about the grip. It feels fantastic. Another great feature is the light swing weight. This truly is the lightest bat with the biggest barrel. I highly recommend this bat to everyone!

Cons: Awesome Bat!

Nice Bat Kyle parent

Pros: Bat is well balanced, bought this bat for my son playing elite travel ball. Very Good Pop, well balanced bat. Have had many different bats including Marucci Elite, Mako, etc over past few years and this seems to stand toe to toe at a slightly lower price point.

Cons: None so far, Don't know about durability yet only used in a few games.

this is a 5-star bat! BatDad2016 parent

Pros: recently purchased for my 11U soon to be 12U son. I heard great things about the Nighthawk, so we took a chance and purchased it. The ball absolutely rockets off of it. well balanced. great sound. my son tells me it has a great feel. I'll put it up against a Demarini CF8 / Zen / Mako or LS 916 all day long!

Cons: if you're used to a thinner grip / handle (like the CFs), then you may not like the wider grip on the Nighthawk.

Awesome Bat!!! Ehrich parent

Pros: My son is 8 and needed a longer bat. I bought the 29 19. i was worried the 19 might be a little heavy, but it is not at all. He smoked the ball in first game using it. Two shots to the fence, and one hit the top of a 200ft fence. Awesome pop, and light swinging.

Cons: none

Questions and Answers

Have a question about the Mizuno Nighthawk Hybrid Senior League Baseball Bat: SL16NHXL? Ask our team of experts and they will respond within 24 hours.

Can this bat be used in Babe Ruth 13-15 division? Lewy
The 2016 Mizuno Nighthawk Hybrid Senior League Baseball Bat: SL16NHXL is not legal for play in the 13-15 Division of Babe Ruth because it has a 2 3/4" barrel diameter.
Jason
Is the alloy used in this bat the same alloy as last year's Generation? Rex
This 2016 Mizuno Nighthawk Hybrid Senior League Baseball Bat (SL16NHXL) features MZ3000+ Aluminum on the barrel which is different from the Aerospace Grade Aluminum Alloy on the 2015 Mizuno Generation bats.
Ben
Since this bat features an alloy barrel and a composite handle, (1) does cold weather still affect performance/durability? (2) Is a break-in period required? stampede11
(1) Even though this 2016 Mizuno Nighthawk Hybrid Senior League Baseball Bat (SL16NHXL) will feature a hybrid design (alloy barrel and composite handle), I would still recommend limiting the use in cold weather (to increase the life and performance of the bat). If you are practicing in conditions below 55 degrees, I would definitely recommend using a different bat for practice. If it is a game and the temperature is below 55 degrees, limit use of the bat to only yourself and game situations. (2) Since this bat features an alloy barrel, no break-in period will be required in order to get this bat to display top performance.
Ben
Can this bat be used for softball leagues or is this just for hard ball???? jim
This is a baseball bat so it is intended for use in baseball only. You will have to check with your league to see if it would be allowed for softball, but it is not designed to hit softballs so you would see a performance difference even if you could use it.
