Just got a U2 Black Maxload and have approximately 50 swings on it. The handle has a rattle, sounds like the metal rod is loose. Anybody else noticed this with this type bat?
Kenny R on our team has a Miken U2 Blk Balance doing the same thing. I've got a Maxload and I have know problems with it yet. Although one of my Big Cats died last Sunday with 450 swings. I can live with that. Maybe they will replace your Maxload. See you in Vally.
Hey Lefty? Was that a 2016 Big Cat or was that the 2014 with the red, white and black barrel. Just curious. Thank You. Appreciate it...

Mike, have you heard much about the noise in the handle on the U2 Black bats. A bunch of us got these in Montgomery recently in a group deal. Not sure if it affects the bats performance but it sounds terrible. I've heard this sound before but not in a brand new bat.i believe the bat is defected. Your thoughts

Lefty and Perl. Thank You for the feedback. No I have not hear that yet but it is something I will look into ASAP. Will get back with you. Perl was the group deal part of the deal that a coach bought bats for his team? Lefty and Perl you can both give me a call on Monday during the day at 330-419-0205.
Thank You.

Gorilla Boy,
I returned a Miken Ultra Black Balanced to Miken on Monday for review and warranty with the exact same symptoms as Perl is talking about, rattle in the handle and poor performance although it had very few swings on it and not even a mark on the barrel but sounded bad hitting and just dropping to ground. Grabbing the barrel and tapping the handle to rug was really bad. Just FYI, I have an RA# if needed.
Thanks,

Thank you gents. I am looking into it. Will post back something soon.

Just got word from Miken that they are replacing The Ultra Black balanced that was dead and had the handle rattle same as Perl's.
Thanks Miken
That's great for Kenny and a great job for Miken for replacing the Miken Balance.
Thanks Miken and Mighty Mike with getting me a Big Cat replacement.Great Job
Lefty, thank you for the kind words. I am here to try and help. Sometimes I can, and sometimes I can't. Glad to hear it worked out for you. Now go out and hit some more bombs!

mikens have always been the "bar" other senior bats try and reach.
