ATV Florida Forum

Going to softball practice and your daughter breaking her $350 bat  :'(  Not just a little dent, no it has a 6 inch crack in the double walled aluminum.

350 dollars for a softball bat, are you crazy? 




Oh wait a minute, forgot who I was talking to. :D

About 10 years ago that was how much you had to spend for a decent aluminum bat! I always borrowed my teamates haha.

This is a hybrid  composit/aluminum  Very nice bat, just not as durable as I had hoped for.

Hey Trx you should be glad. If I was like your hero I'd want you and others to pay to buy me a new one through some government program resulting in another rise in income taxes on the middle class :P

You mean a high school program.  :o

A bad day is more like being raped by 100 gay giants.

Does the bat have a warranty?

Not to buythisatv....that would be like a dream come true  :-*

Another stunning example of why my kids don't go to public schools  ::)       :D

I guess your idea of a bad day, my idea of he!!, and paul's idea of Heaven are all the same.

I'm not sure if it's still in warranty or not. Either way it's close. I  bought it for her last season. Now I'm charged with the task of locating that dang receipt.

You might of left it in Limbaugh's intestant.  :D

I didn't realize I had stuck it to the end of your.................well nevermind. Now quit dreaming about me and Rush  :P

That's ok I was thinking about getting her one of these anyway

Anyone familiar with Miken bats that can give some comments from experience ?

Nope, why don't you check with play it again for a few weeks and see what turns up? You can get some great deals! Or atleast I have.

We had no issues with my 13 y.o.'s Miken bat for more than a year. None, save for it's too light for him now.

My son swings a Combat B2.  Excellent bat and more durable than the Easton or Louisville he was swinging before.  The Combat is very well balanced and has helped my son's batting performance.  The problem with the double-wall bats is the bat has too much end weight which increases the moment of inertia.  With a quality single-wall, the moment of inertia is closer to the batter, making it easier to accelerate the bat.  The other problem with the double-wall is exactly what you just experienced; cracks and most often on the inner wall, reducing your bat to a $350.00 maraca.   ;)

Miken offers a one year warranty from the date of purchase on their bats. Go to their website www.mikensports.com/warranty/

Hopefully you can find the receipt. On the website you can fill out a return authorization form.

Great news !!! I did find the receipt and Demarini is going to send me a brand new bat !  I'm so relieved.

I'm really looking at a Miken Halo light or a Miken Icon for my younger daughter. Anyone have experience with these ? They seem to be very similar.

damn chinese!!!!
