Tried a friends New two piece 26oz Miken endload yesterday. He had maybe 30 swings on it. First four I hit went over the fence. Bat feels smooth going through the hitting zone. I put it down and hit with my 28oz ASA stamped U2. I felt like I had to put more effort into it, then I did with the two piece. Picked up the two piece again and hit the next two out. I couldn't believe how smooth it felt. Though I did swing with the same amount of power with both bats, the two piece felt like it was superior to the one piece. I have been a long time fan of Miken, until the Reebok Melee came out and that became my bat of choice. I didn't use my Reebok to compare with the two piece in distance, but I think Miken just might be on top again. It will be interesting to see if Reebok's two piece will be as good as what they have now. This bat is legit! I just might have to add this two piece by Miken to my bag.
