Topic: Bats
Discussion: Miken bats return policy

Sorry to hear about your Miken Warranty issues. Breaking at the handle does seem like a defect and would think Miken should consider an exception for the issue you are having with the non-warranty senior bat. Sounds like bad customer service and may drive players away from Miken brand loyalty with that type of service.

I had a similar warranty issue with Miken recently. I purchased a 2018 KP23 ASA bat (great bat!) which had a 1 year warranty. The bat cracked and I contacted Miken for a warranty replacement. Was told I had to have a copy of my original receipt and the physical JTS bar code sticker to obtain a warranty replacement.

I don't keep physical copies of the sticker or the receipt. I use a program called Evernote and have pdf copies of my purchase receipt and digital photos of the JTS bar code sticker in case of warranty issues. Miken has accepted these electronic versions from me in the past. The Miken rep I spoke to for my warranty issue said they would accept digital copies this time but not in the future.


I mentioned to the rep that I had recently purchased 2 new ASA model warranty bats (2019 ASA KP23 & 2019 ASA Freak Primo) and had already trashed the JTS barcode sticker and receipt because I had made digital copies of them.

Miken's response was "well, let's just hope you won't need to warranty the other bats."

I don't have an issue keeping up with the jts code and warranty electronically but to require a person to keep the physical bar code sticker in the digital age is ludicrous.

I swing Adidas bats for senior ball and LOVE the way they perform. Adidas just came out with a USSSA bat called the Ruckus and plan to release an ASA version in the near future. Even better, the Ruckus comes in two flavors - a warranty version (more expensive) and a non-warranty version (same bat, cheaper price, but no warranty).

Just got the USSSA version of the Ruckus in yesterday and hope to test it out this weekend. If it performs anything like my Adidas senior bats, I will purchase the ASA version when it is available.

Best of luck with your issue.

Discussion: 51 year old NC outfielder looking to play

51 year old outfielder looking to fill in some open dates.

Current team taking a few weekends off and I would like to play with another team on those open weekends.

Live in NC, play outfield, and have excellent speed.

Was fortunate to play on team that won the 2018 SSUSA 50 AAA National Championship (East/West game) and a NC team that won the 2018 SPA 50 AAA World Championship and Triple Crown.

Love the game and senior softball and want to play a few extra tournaments this year.

Let me know if anyone needs an outfielder for fill in help.
