Miken Edge Softball Bats
We hit both the 26 ounce and 27 ounce versions and the same guys got very
different results. Most of the hitters liked the 26, but some hitters did
not like the 26 at all and left the first session very disappointed. When
they came back for the next session we tried a 27 and their opinions changed
dramatically.
The Miken Edge swings end loaded – the Half & Half design of lightweight
graphite handle and Double-wall aluminum barrel allows the hitter to bring
the bat through the hitting zone faster without having to make any
alterations or improvements to their basic swing. We think that because of
that design, swinging too light a bat makes for more problems than swinging
a light balanced bat would. With the object of this bat being to hit the
ball hard and deep, a too-light bat seems to produce pop-ups and soft flies.
This would make since if the bat is coming through the zone faster than you
normally bring it. Our advice – borne out by testing – is to go slightly
heavy with the Dark for best results.
This bat performs much like Miken’s M-Pulse, a similar model that is
approved for all sanctions of play. The Edge is not approved for ASA play. |

It has a great feel, with all that weight out at the end. It
makes a nice wall “crack” sound, and it has Miken’s traditional generous
sweet spot, one of the largest for an aluminum bat.
There is good pop in the bat, but we found it to be more effective as a line
drive bat; our power hitters were able to hit home runs fairly easily but
did not get any extra distance over the bat they regularly use. The one
question we had dealt with durability, as we broke the 26 after
approximately 600+ swings; the 27 survived all testing without a dent.
The Mike Edge features a Flex-Tuned composite handle, bat rotation index and
Wilson’s Positack texture grip. It is not approved for ASA play.
