Miken History

      
       We Innovate, They ImitateTM.

Miken has earned the position as the industry's leading high-performance composite bat manufacturer by continually developing cutting edge technology to enhance the performance of our equipment. Our focus on the player and their specific needs ensures that every new product delivers the level of performance and durability that has made Miken famous.

For 2007, we will continue to revolutionize the game with the T22C6, the first-ever Titanium Composite softball bat. Our Advanced Carbon Shell combined with the industry's strongest, most durable metal alloy produces the ultimate high-performance barrel for the power hitter. Our NRGTM Pro Series will deliver a new level of play with an even longer barrel and new E-Flex® ESDTM Extended Sweetspot Design. The NRG™ series offers a custom feel with an end-loaded design for greater distance, or a balanced model for maximum bat speed. The player preferred thin handle and X-TackTM coated knob provide a secure grip for added control. We will ignite the game of baseball with the introduction of the BurnTM, featuring our unique HelixTM "continuous inner weave" technology to provide uninterrupted energy transfer throughout the bat for unbeatable performance.

In '07 we will utilize our composite expertise to produce the NRG CompTM Softball series. NRG CompTM Softball Technology utilizes enhanced stitch patterning to deliver increased lift and distance, while the 100% composite construction provides superior grip and durability. We will continue to answer the demand for high-performance softball equipment by offering NRG batting glove technology. The glove's premium materials and ergonomic design provide added control and comfort.

We spend as much time on the field as in the lab to make sure that we are in tune with the game. Every new product is field tested by world class ballplayers to ensure that it meets our performance standards. Our Endless Innovation tour is on the road providing product demonstrations and gathering feedback from teams across the country. Miken's mission to produce the most technologically advanced softball and baseball equipment is driven by our commitment to the players. The Miken formula is working, and the results are obvious. Elite Equipment for the Elite Player.
