| Jan. 19, 2017 RG7 1 posts | Miken Question In 2013 I bought a Miken Ultra 750x nine months later it broke and I contacted Miken for a warranty replacement and was told they didn't have any in stock but would send me a 1 piece Psycho as a replacement, they said it was the same bat just different paint. I later bought a Rev-Ex which is also 750x HPI 100comp Technology and it is the same as the Ultra 750x and the Psycho in feel sound and distance. So does Miken just paint bats different colors and charge different prices? If that is the case is the DC-41 Freak 30 and Psycho 2 piece the same bat with different paint as they have the same Triple Matrix Core technology? |

The angle the composite is applied, the resins used, weighting of the bats are all different without even mentioning that the F30 is a 12" barrel bat while the Psycho and DC41 are 14" barrel bats. There is a ton of R&D goes into these bats hence the differences in sound, feel & break in time to many of these bats. Guys have "speculated" for many years that bats are simply repaints but that is really just an uninformed assumption and we all know what tends to happen when you assume... |
