"Since the changes in ASA over the past few years I thought my days of playing were over. The Miken Vicious has changed everything for me. If you liked the Freak you will love the Vicious! Immediately out of the wrapper I was hitting balls 20 ft further than any other ASA bat. With the feel and sweet spot I've come to enjoy from Miken - there will NOT be another ASA bat on the market even close."


From Caleb McDowell - D Class Arkansas
"Just recently had the chance to preview the new Miken Vicious. This bat felt very solid and reminded me quite a bit of the original Miken Freak. The Vicious was hot just out of the wrapper and seemed to have a large "sweet spot" and quite a bit of room for error. I swung the 34" 27oz and liked it very much. Miken continues to put quality bats on the market that I have found to be superior to the competitors in its class. Very anxious to get this new bat in my bag!"

Miken Hits the Ice

From Miken Hockey
(Caledonia MN, January 2009) - Composite equipment innovator Miken Sports moves to the ice with the introduction of the new MV-1 hockey stick. Miken's proprietary Multi-Layer Biaxial Technology merges continuous strands of high-performance carbon fiber to produce the consistent energy transfer that can only be achieved in a true one-piece stick. The MV-1 is engineered with 100% aerospace grade carbon fiber for unmatched performance and durability.

The sleek tapered shaft profile maximizes torsional control for increases velocity and precision. The MV-1's solid blade provides unsurpassed durability and optimizes puck feel for consistent release off the stick.

"We are excited to bring our technology to the game of hockey with the launch of the new MV-1. It was a natural progression, and our team of engineers has developed a stick that will generate a storm on the ice," stated Miken Sports Business Manager Jim Hoscheit. "This stick was developed by the nation's top composite engineers and elite players to ensure that it meets our standards for performance and durability." "When they hit the ice with the MV-1 it was explosive. We identified a void in the market for a high-performance stick that can deliver the durability that players are looking for. The MV-1 is that stick," stated Hoscheit.

The MV-1 is engineered and manufactured in the USA, supported by a full 60 day warranty. The MV-1 is available in three blade profiles (RH/LH) for a suggested retail of $249.95 at authorized Miken dealers.
