Oct. 4, 2012 Tri18 355 posts	You can call or email me for pricing information and availability. Preorders now will be given special consideration in pricing... Thank you, Alan Team 1 Sports

Oct. 17, 2012 colt 39 posts	Does this hit like a true 2 pc bat(stealth, mutants)or more like a Demarini the one series 2pc with a 1 pc feel?
Oct. 17, 2012 Tri18 355 posts	It is somewhat in between. I have them in stock now and they aren't as stiff as a one piece but a slight bit stiffer than some other 2 piece bats. Preliminary testing shows them to be good out of the wrapper and starting to perform well at 75-95 swings. They definitely flex...if you are a strong hitter or a guy with faster bat speed be prepared for that. If you need more information on the bat or any senior bat feel free to contact me.

Oct. 18, 2012 Q19 Men's 50 44 posts	Using my 27 oz. at the Huntsman Senior Games. Hot right out if the wrapper. About 60+ swings so far.
Oct. 19, 2012 big cat7 Men's 50 87 posts	i understand that a bigger stronger person will swing harder and have more bat speed but what effect does this have on a two piece bat.i know they will flex more but is this a good or bad thing?and what type of bat should a person with alot of bat speed use a two piece or one piece?
Oct. 26, 2012 Tri18 355 posts	Big cat, I know most guys with good bat speed and some strength generally prefer a one piece bat. That's not to say that some don't mind the flex in the handle but it can take away from batted ball speeds/distance if the timing isn't just right while flexing the bat. I have been testing the new version and it seems to have an improvement on the durability side of things. If you need one or any senior bat get in touch. Alan tricoach18@att.net 561-718-7504
Oct. 26, 2012 Ugly Stick Men's 60 18 posts	I have hit the Miken bat and it is a winner. Are you getting these Miken's direct from Miken. I heard that some other sources were selling them and rolling them as well as shaving them. I still can not believe that players do that to senior bats. Just curious. If it is straight from Miken then I would be interested in buying one. Thanks in advance. Do the different weights have different balance points as you have stated on other bats. I like a 27 ounce.

Oct. 27, 2012 Tri18 355 posts	I am an official dealer with Miken, combat, reebok, and worth and get my products directly from them.I am also the distributor of the Combat Ambush. I have all the lines so feel free to contact me at 561-718-7504 Alan Team 1 Sports
Oct. 27, 2012 Tri18 355 posts	Ugly, forgot your other question. Right now the bats come in 26,27,28, and 30 ounce models. They come just as that...not end loaded or balanced,. I think they have done a nice job with balance points on the bats....they don't feel really end loaded nor do they feel especially balanced. They swing true to their advertised weight. Hope this helps... Alan Team 1
Oct. 29, 2012 Gorilla Boy Men's 50 132 posts	Hey Alan, I was just checking to see what you were selling the Miken 2 piece bat for? Mike Macenko aka:Gorilla Boy
Oct. 29, 2012 Tri18 355 posts	Hey Mike, Same as SSUSA basically. I do give a discount if it's a multiple bat order and to my repeat people. How's things? A
Oct. 30, 2012 colt 39 posts	Big Cat7, My thought on the 2pc is that swinging harder or faster will not effect the flex of a 2pc.But bad mechanics will be felt much more in the flex If you cast the bat to much instead of going straight to ball you will feel more flex ,same with timing issue or missing sweet spot.
Nov. 12, 2012 5ToolsinOhio Men's 50 160 posts	Got to swing this new 2pc Miken along with 2pc Combat yesterday, I do not think there will be any discussion about performance from these two bats, of course don't know about durability both being so new, but we had one of are original bp pitchers out yesterday first time all year due to work he is 5'6 165lbs 48yrs old hitting them far. Both these bats feel different, sound different, so again its whats your flavor and what feels good in your hands.
Nov. 14, 2012 Ugly Stick Men's 60 18 posts	Hey 5Tools, did you get that chance to hit the Monsta senior bat? If you did how did it play? I hear it is a great bat. Just what I heard! Thanks. Ugly Stick
Nov. 14, 2012 5ToolsinOhio Men's 50 160 posts	We did hit the Monsta, problem was the bats were demo's no decals, the models they sent to my buddie did not perform like senior bats plus we were having so much fun with the Twilight and new Miken that it did not get much of a look after 10 or so swings from each guy. A new bat now trying to compete with Reebok/Combat/Miken/Demarini/Worth is insane, does anyone have the Bass Crippler senior bat? or the Boombah senior bat? how do they hit?
Nov. 15, 2012 Gideon60 Men's 50 42 posts	I have the boombah grey bat. I have about 200 cuts on it and it not got ahy real pop I am 6'1" 250Lb i prefer the miken maxload 30oz hits nice and sometimes puts it deep 375 to 400
Nov. 15, 2012 taits Men's 65 4001 posts	Boombah info: ¥ Constructed for the 52/275 ball that is used in Senior Slowpitch ¥ Composite, Carbon Fibre and Leather Grip ¥ Approved for SSUSA ¥ Imported I'd bet the Bass bat being sold on Amazon is a dud like I think the above will be in as much what it was designed for. But you never know.
