New Miken Ultra 2
In the new Senior Softball News and there is an ad for the New Ultra II Advanced with AIT (Advanced Inertia Technology). The Knob looks like you can adjust the weight of the bat. Also how can I get a copy of the Senior Softball News.

Issue...Summer 2006. Volume 19 #3 back cover.

Looks like they finagled the knob...adjust the wt. on the knob for the bat? That's technology...now if they can have a little more longevity they got it made.

Call (916) 326-5303

Hope to see some of yah in LV for the 50's.

Guess you can have a balanced bat or an endloaded one. The actual weight of the bat will not change.

Gee,...is this bat even on the market yet?

Also, is the Freak and the Freak+ legal in this sanction?

How can I pick up the Senior Softball Magazine. Is there a website or a phone number to call or can you find it online in a pdf file?

Don, a guy that lives near me has one out of wrapper that he wants $170, local pickup. I told him that if I didn't have 3 U2's I would take it.
We hear that they have a little less pop than a U2 to more pop than a U2. I think their selling point is that they are suppose to be more durable than a U2.
I don't know.

Bruce and Don ,I have a 27oz.EL ,hit about 125 balls and its get hotter. The field I practice at is 290 with a walkway about 20 ft futher I've hit several over the walkway and through some trees pass the walkway,so I think the Combat is going to be equal to the U2.

Did not see the bat as shown in the ad on the Miken web site. I'm not sure how much the good new adjustment will be if they haven't done anything to help the durability of the recent U2's.
Does anyone know anything about this bat?
Anyone got an idea of the cost?
If the new Anaconda Senior bat is as durable and hot as everyone is saying it would seem to be the better buy.
I broke 2 U2's last year and so carry my gamer + a partially broken in U2 back up + and a new in the wrapper U2 just in case but the price tag gets heavy.
I don't see many sales of the U2 Advanced if the durability concerns continue.
