| March 3, 2013 kbl Men's 60 544 posts | Tri18...my son just showed me the list from ASA on banned Miken bats.....the new Miken ASA bat isnt on the new list for 2013, isnt it?? thanks, ken |
| March 3, 2013 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | For 2013 Miken list 3 bats for ASA 1. Triad model STRIMA 2. Ultra " SOULTA 3. vicious " SPVSA ASA doesn't list models in a lot of the bat lists so you need to do your homework. |
| March 3, 2013 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Been low-mid 60's cen cal, so cal it's upper 60's there. Cold early days all over & not conducive for using a good bat. Warming up to good ball weather though It say after this week. Supposed to rain Wed. |
| March 4, 2013 ju25 Men's 60 236 posts | Ultra ASA is good for ASA only, not legal in USSSA. I heard it was made for the 52/300 ball and lacks durability with 44/375. Good to see 800+ swings and still going strong. Some are saying the Triad is better. |
| March 4, 2013 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | JU25, It was primarily about ASA bats but I listed them all for Miken 2013 batch. Your correct about the sock 52 ball because ASA in particular has gone to its use for tourneys. I think a few others have as well started using it. But what ever, both teams are using it so its equal in that regard. Seems odd U-trip wouldn't allow a lessor bat, unless its about the money from stamps. |
| March 4, 2013 Garocket Men's 55 259 posts | The latest I heard it will not meet standards set by USSSA or NSA. a few points over. Not sure SSUSA will allow it or not I am sure they will |
| March 4, 2013 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Garocket, "IT" which bat is that one? ASA has the lowest 'standard', BPF wise. |
| March 4, 2013 Garocket Men's 55 259 posts | The Ultra No way would Miken make a bat and not put all the stamps on it, if it would pass all the associations standards I am not a bat or ball specialist but I heard that with the dead ball ASA is using it will pass, but with the hard ball it would not pass |
| March 4, 2013 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | For Miken it could be wise because I doubt there is no way to really prove you were ONLY USING 52 cor balls should it break, if it's a warranty bat. I read that the other day that it was ONLY ASA on their site. |
| March 4, 2013 ju25 Men's 60 236 posts | ASA changed a couple things on their bat tests. 98mph batted ball speed remains the same, but they are now testing with the 52/300 ball, and they lowered the swing speed from 65 down to 60mph. In 2014 ASA will only use the 52/300 ball for sanctioned events, excluding senior ball, where the 44/375 will still be used. |
| March 4, 2013 HJ Men's 70 481 posts | TRi18, obvious question how did these bats do with the senior 44/375 balls? |
| March 5, 2013 HJ Men's 70 481 posts | Thank you. I didn't mean the answer was obvious;I am not quite that naive. I meant it was obvious that seniors would want to know how the bat performed with the ball many of us use. |
| March 5, 2013 DCPete 409 posts | So how does this ASA Ultra compare to a good U-Trip bat in hitting 44/375 balls? |
| March 6, 2013 5ToolsinOhio Men's 50 160 posts | ASA Miken Triad drops do do on the ASA Miken Ultra...Don't sniff the Wintercrest cream! |
| March 9, 2013 JMJIT Men's 65 35 posts | Hit the Combat Derby Boys it is HOTTTT,I am not a HR hitter i have hit 4 in 3 weeks,it is a Hot bat. |
| March 9, 2013 ju25 Men's 60 236 posts | JMJIT, Which Derby Boy were you hitting, USSSA(Yellow), ASA (orange), 275(red),or the old one(white). What were the temps, and what kind of ball were you hitting. |
| March 9, 2013 ju25 Men's 60 236 posts | I see it was the ASA version. What bat were you swinging before? |
| March 11, 2013 neck10 714 posts | tri 18 will the new asa ultra pass the compression test????????? |
| April 25, 2013 Wayne 37 Men's 65 773 posts | From what I understand: ASA~bats more hot. USSSA~bats less hot. |
| June 10, 2013 neck10 714 posts | just had new miken ultra asa bat tested passed with flying colors. wasnt close on compression test we tested four of them thursday night |
| June 10, 2013 neck10 714 posts | the usssa should aprove the miken asa ultra its not that hot,not as hot as a original miken freak |
| June 11, 2013 Mulewhipper Men's 55 128 posts | I purchased this bat from Alan last week. Went out and hit with it this weekend and after about 100 swings...it's starting to loosen up. Have to say, it's the hardest feeling composite bat I have every broke in. Alan has been great in helping me find the right bat for me... I love it so far. The End Load feels great, I believe there is an extra 1/2 oz. for a better feel. I think it's a good bat for big hitters, I'm tired of going through 4-6 bats a season. If this bat can perform and last, I will buy again. Thanks again Alan... |
| June 11, 2013 JMJIT Men's 65 35 posts | hey ya'all i am now hitting the new Combat Dirty asa i like it better than the Derby boys... |
| June 11, 2013 JMJIT Men's 65 35 posts | i used to swing the old miken freak which i actuall bought one yesterday but to re sell i love my New Combat Ditry 34/26 mid load |
| June 11, 2013 JMJIT Men's 65 35 posts | i have the Combat Wanted as well but to me me it swings heave so i dont like it... |
| June 12, 2013 Mulewhipper Men's 55 128 posts | Used this Miken last night in league games...let's just say, the performance was nothing short of amazing. Everybody is different, swings are different, strength and bat speed are different, but for me, this bat is every bit as good as any senior bat I have used...and I really like the warranty. I will be getting more of these. |
| June 12, 2013 swing for the fences Men's 50 1224 posts | Mulewhipper, you are big as a house.... you could hit it out with a broomstick....you would endorse some push brooms I bet! ;) |
| June 16, 2013 tekdad 21 posts | The Mulewhipper flat out smashes , I've got to witness several huge bombs these last couple of years. Personally with the hard as a rock balls we use in league I like to use a Utrip bat, not only because of the durability issue but also because I think that most senior bats flex way to much thus sacrificing some distance when used by a player with fast hands and strength like the M whipper. We have a player on our team who uses the white Combat Centurian who hits some of the longest balls I have ever seen , he has had no durability issues and also has extremely fast hands but is not near as big nor do I think has the strength of Mwhipper. Another teammate bought the Centurian from Corky that was made in the Great White North, pulled it out and hit some bombs. He was trying to get the team to sing " Oh Canada" after the game. Lol. I will say after watching other big hitters and testing the bats I am anxious to get the new GSC bat in M whippers hands. I truly feel that it will out perform any senior bat out there and has the durability of a Utrip bat if not better.. We'll see soon .. Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there... Troy E |
