| Posted | Discussion |
| April 4, 2011 Batbreaker Men's 50 79 posts | Which Miken is the most durable? Red Gray or Black I have a Red Miken which I broke in the first tournament I played in this year. Has anyone had better luck with gray miken? I tried the black one and didnt like the balanced model as well as the end load. I might try a different Mfg. if there is significant difference in durability. If all Mikens are the same I am not going to be able to afford this activity very long!!! |

| April 4, 2011 Mario Men's 50 451 posts | I just started playing senior ball last year and broke 4 mikens. I never got more than 150 swings on any of them. 3 red and 1 black. Never bought a gray one. I now swing 1 of the new Reebok Senior Melee's. I'm on my 2nd one, only because I used my first one in batting practice, but I still got right at 400 swings out of it. And I think its just as hot as the red mikens. |

| April 4, 2011 Super V 10 Men's 55 72 posts | The one that is a maxload will crack before a balance bat. because of the endload. my 2C |
| April 7, 2011 canIjack Men's 60 322 posts | If it’s Miken that you’re looking for, then the Miken Ultra II Legacy Senior softball bat, its color is Silver and Black. It has the pop of an old Miken Freak. It’s a very durable bat. |
| April 7, 2011 Mario Men's 50 451 posts | mad dog - things are all good for me. Had a great winter of working out and I am ready to start playing. We were supposed to play this weekend but it got cancelled. How are things with you? |
| April 8, 2011 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | everything going ok mario,we just played our first tourney this past weekend,except for TOC in feb.have fun and stay safe...... |
| April 8, 2011 Homer Simpson Men's 55 27 posts | I have a a grey Miken that I only use in games and tournaments. I used it in 55 to 60 degree weather. I am 6 feet 200lbs. It is going strong so far after about 400 swings. |
| April 8, 2011 titanhd Men's 60 639 posts | Superv10.You are entitled to your opinion,but your endload theory is "poppycock". Combat endloads don't break any more frequently than the balance models why should Mikens? I do agree that the Red Miken is less durable but,not because of the endload. |
| April 8, 2011 Super V 10 Men's 55 72 posts | titanhd, so you think the maxload and the black u2 have different shells? |
| April 9, 2011 tinman Men's 50 75 posts | I bought 3 26oz endloaded and all are in the garbage.Hit bombs but they seem to brake quickly.My teammates have experienced the same. |
| April 10, 2011 Q19 Men's 65 81 posts | Had all three (Balanced (Black), Slightly endloaded (Gray), & Max endloaded (Red)) at one time. At 5'10" 190 lbs., got plenty of use out of the BLACK one, less than 100 swings on the GRAY before it broke, and still have the RED one cause I hardly use it. Teammate of mine almost snapped his in half and he definitely had less than 100 swings. Have a new BLACK one, with the new Blue COMBAT and the new WORTH Toxic XXX and just ordered the COMBAT Centenarian. |
| April 17, 2011 Ernies 53 Men's 50 22 posts | No more mikens for me until they can figure out their durability issues, 56 swings on the black miken and its now in the trash! |
| April 17, 2011 paul0784 Men's 60 218 posts | Not real sure, we as a team broke 5 Mikens in AZ (2) grey, (2) red, and (1) black. So not real sure on that one. |
