Overview

Miken's Vicious is made from E-Flex alloy with a multi-wall design. The barrel and handle share the alloy, and the Maxload swing weight loads some mass toward the end of the bat.

Dual stamps let one bat serve leagues under either sanctioning body, and the alloy barrel is described as hot out of the wrapper. The spec rows give no barrel diameter or drop weight, so those must come from the maker.

Who it's for

Slow pitch hitters in USSSA or USA Softball leagues get a bat approved under both stamps, and the description says it suits contact hitters as well as power hitters. Players who prefer a balanced swing or a composite barrel should look at other models.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Dual USA Softball and USSSA stamps
  • Two piece alloy construction
  • Maxload end-loaded swing weight
  • Multi-wall barrel design
Cons
  • Balanced swing weight not offered
  • Care instructions are not listed
  • Barrel size is unspecified in specs

Performance notes

An end-loaded swing weight puts more mass toward the barrel, which adds power but can slow the swing for some hitters. The multi-wall alloy barrel is meant to be active from the first swing, with no break-in described in the listing.
