Miken Fastpitch Bat SurveyBecause my daughters both swing a Miken fastpitch bat I have to recommend it very highly. It's just so sweet you can hardly feel the ball contact the bat and virtually never any vibration. So I thought I would try to help my readers out by doing a little research and secret shopper survey on Miken bats. As a side note, you are going to have to order any premium bat from a business on the internet. Local Sporting Goods stores simply can't afford to carry them inventory. I was pretty disappointed with the results of my search. I found the bats without any problem, but the pricing was virtually the same across the board. While doing the research I ran across two items that really peaked my interest. First, Miken has a new bat called the Halo Light -12. I like long bats, particularly in the younger age groups ((12U and below), but if you get one I would go down in weight by an ounce. Leverage could well make the bat feel heavier. Also, Easton makes a Synergy bat that comes in a -11.5. For the older age groups I prefer a -10 or -9 as length really should not be an issue. Now for the results of the survey. I didn't go to every internet site, but I went to what I believe to be the five big guys in the bat business.
