Description: Miken Composites LLC was formed in 1997 by George Griffith and in 1998 he introduced the first carbon fiber composite softball bat. It was so radical an advancement and so different from the aluminum alloy bats of the day, he called it the FREAK - and it revolutionized the softball and baseball bat industry. The composite construction gave the lightweight bat much more flexibility and "whip". They called it E-FLEX Technology and applied for patents. Those original one-piece FREAK bats were, without question, the hottest bats of their day and are still cherished by veteran players and collectors nationwide. This is an EXTREMELY RARE UNUSED ORIGINAL FREAK SOFTBALL BAT FROM MIKEN'S SECOND PRODUCTION RUN IN 2001-2002 that was CERTIFIED UNDER THE THEN-NEW ASA 2000 TESTING PROCEDURES. It is MODEL MSF and SERIAL # 3335165.
