2026 Miken KP23 Maxload USA Slowpitch Softball Bat 1 Piece 12.75" Barrel

2026 Miken KP23 Maxload USA Slowpitch Softball Bat 1 Piece 12.75" Barrel MSA6KP1L (MSA6KP1L) — The 1-piece power machine with the longest USA-legal barrel for explosive distance.

Description

Miken built the 2026 KP23 Maxload as the ultimate USA/ASA weapon: a seamless 1-piece composite bat engineered for power hitters who want stiffness, control, and championship-level distance. The extended 12.75" Max Flex barrel gives you three-quarters of an inch more hitting surface than standard models, creating a massive sweet spot that's forgiving on mishits and devastating on solid contact. Variable composite layering and an inner core tube optimize compression and trampoline effect for each weight, while the stiff Pro Flex handle keeps the barrel locked in the zone longer for faster exit speeds and superior control. .5 oz Maxload adds momentum without sacrificing feel, and the A1 knob provides premium comfort and secure grip. Ready out of the wrapper with peak performance after 100-200 swings, this bat is certified for 52 COR / 300 compression softballs and delivers consistent bombs in USA Softball leagues.
