From Jim Hoscheit, Miken Business Manager
For 2009 we continue to gain momentum in the fastpitch market. Our mission is to fine tune our product line to maximize performance. Our engineers have tapped into the expertise of Team USA's Kelly Kretschman to give us the player feedback we need. Elite players like Kretschman provide valuable insight into the intricacies of the game and ensure the continued development of the game's highest performing equipment. Kelly will work closely with Miken engineers as we test and finalize the new fastpitch lineup.
Psycho Review
From Greg Hartwick #17 - LongHaul Bombers/Phonemasters/Miken
If you guys are like me, I like to get a bat, hit it, and stay with it. Every year I get a bat, fall in love with it and just when it gets good, boom! It breaks. Another 400 swings away from gettin one back right. In 2008 Miken has solved this problem for me. The Miken Psycho has the amazing pop Miken is known for, mixed with tremendous durability. I have beat on this bat and beat on it. Literally thousands of cuts and it just keeps singing. Monster bombs, but more impressive is the jump through the infield. I love the fact that people assume this bat has been altered. What a compliment! I could write all day about this bat.
I typically swing a 28 oz bat, I feel a little more comfortable dropping down to a 27 oz because of the endload. there is not another product on the market that compares. Put down your other bat and pick up the Psycho. You're just a few cuts away from being accused of cheating.

We spend countless hours researching and testing these materials and our bats, both on the field and in our state of the art lab. We always strive for excellence, we never settle for less. We never cut corners. If you're going to spend your money on a high-performance bat, it needs to be a Miken. You know this, and the competition knows this.
