I finally let this bat go. I had it for 2 1/2 seasons and it was a good bat; slight end cap movement after 500+ cuts. This was my primary bat for at least one season, but I have never understood the love affair that most softball players have with the Miken Freak 98. This bat has decent pop and ok distance, but the Freak 98 is not a magic wand...I had just as much success with single wall and half/half bats as I had with the Miken Freak 98. If you are able to get one at a decent price, GO FOR IT...HOWEVER, DO NOT BREAK THE BANK TO BUY A MIKEN FREAK 98. Good bat for line-drives; however you are not going to become a home run hitter with the Miken Freak 98.
