| Aug. 21, 2010 d48 4 posts | 2010 Miken Ultra Special Edition Hey wasn't the UII the result of adding aweight in the Ultras handle to change the balance point? Isn't that why they stopped offering a 26oz UII? So is this new special edition Ultra just a UII without the weight? Chime in if you know. Thanks |

| Aug. 23, 2010 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Honestly, I do not know. But given the reason for the rod in the 1st place, I think it is still there, however with the BPF being raised to 1.21, you never know. I'd suggest a call to Miken and ask them if you really need to know. As for weights not all bats are the same exact weight as marked anyway. More likely just different wall thicknesses and or more or less rod weight. |
