The Maniac is on the loose!
Miken has successfully combined E-Flex Technology and Titan Elemental Technology; and the rules of how a ball is propelled off a bat no longer necessarily apply. Miken has once again unleased the most dominant composite bat allowed on the field - the Mega Maniac 585. USSSA 1.20 certified and comes with a 13.5" barrel with preferred thin handle.

Page Excerpt: Baseball bats in the early days of baseball came in all shapes and sizes. In the 1850's baseball was an extremely young sport and batters made their own bats and experimented with bats of all varieties .
Page Excerpt: Because bats of all shapes and sizes were being used, a rule was made in 1859 that bats could be no larger than 2. 5 inches in diameter, although they could be of any length.
Page Excerpt: 5 inches in diameter, although they could be of any length. Ten years later in 1869, another rule was added that stated the baseball bat could be no longer than 42 inches in length - the same maximum length allowed today.
A 12 year old on the travel team hit one about 275 the first time he used the bat. The ball jumps off this bat and carries very well. My son who owns a Techzilla XP, would rather use the Pyrotech XR, and as far as I see right now they are very similar in performence.
