He does really good reviews. Wheeler's videos are good if you want to see how far a ball will go with new bats but I like a break down like Christian does. (Wheeler does have a good video of how he changed his hitting mechanics throughout the year and how it improved his performance.)

Miken must be happy with the performance there getting out of this bat because the new asa dc 41 has the same tech.

nothing special to think that miken/worth would use a tech in a limited edition bat then use it in their main line bats

I sent my 50 hit patriot out to the BP hero to post up a review also. He should be getting it tomorrow

So mine has about 400 hits on it now. The sound has improved and it's getting louder. Barrel's sweet spot has enlarged as well. I hit it along with my Plague Team Edition and my friends' Cluggy. My only criticism is I wish it had more end load. I remember swinging my ASA Freak Black and the red knob DC back to back (both 28's), and really enjoying the feel of the supermax better. I realize it's a matter of personal preference, but the Patriot does feel a touch on the lighter side of the Miken maxload bats I have swung. Just need to get outside with it sometime. It's 17 degrees in Missouri right now

A 28 would likely swing a little better for me for sure.
I picked up the Patriot shortly before Miken announced the same tech for the ASA DC or I would have sprung for that. Anyway, it's good to have options.

i grabbed a liberty for the same reason. if they didn't take this tech to the main line bats, i had what i wanted. if they did, i could deal it for something else. not like i'll be playing for another 2 months. i plan on getting an EST XL cause its an EST and cause its purple/green

Anyone have a patriot rattling? Havent had a bat rattle this bad in a while. Guess we shouldn't have hit ZNs. Lol.
I wonder how much longer this will last? Yeah yeah, made for 52s...save it.

No rattling yet (knock on wood). Mine is setting on around 400 with Tattoo NX3 BP balls and Rockets. Out of curiosity, are you seeing any webbing? I am wondering if these will parallel web like other Mikens.
