by BC39 - Dec 04, 2012
Pros: Crazy hot for an ASA bat out of the wrapper.. You can tell the walls are definately thinner than before. Right there with USSSA bats. EXTREMELY balanced.
Cons: Gets dirty quickly
by Rick - Dec 10, 2012
Pros: Bat has pop right out of the wrapper. Keep this bat warm do not let it get cold. People freak out when they see it. Umpire's and other team always check to see if it is legal. Hot bat, must buy.
Cons: It's white, gets dirty, and needs to be warm to get the most out of it.
by Lee - Mar 28, 2013
Pros: Just as advertised! Very well balanced and HOT. Incredible ASA bat with new HPS specs. Finally!
Cons: None
by Ryan - Apr 02, 2013
Pros: Kills the ball -- no vibration -- I've used several ASA bats, this is the winner HANDS DOWN.
Cons: Nothing...
by Anonymous - Feb 04, 2013
Pros: bat feels very balanced. has great pop right out of the wrapper. I also have a Miken freak fx700 that i have had for over a year that proably has about 2000 hits on it. I swapped between the 2 taking batting practice. only difference i can tell between the 2 is the sound when hitting the ball and the weight. the ultra has a more hallow sound compared to the more solid sound in the fx700. the ultra is a 34in 28oz and the fx700 is a 34in 27oz with 1.5oz end load. the balanced feel makes it feel a lot lighter then the endloaded bats.
Cons: shows ball marks very easy. other than that no issues.
by Chris in PA - Mar 26, 2013
Pros: I used an Easton Salvo SRV5, for the past two seasons, and we all know how great that bat is. In USSSA I use my Easton Stealth Brett Helmer edition. With both bats I have serious HR power, but I'm a big guy. I ordered this bat with the hope of getting even more. First day out with the bat with the wrapper just taken off, I hit 7 balls over the wall, out of the 10 hits we get in BP. The bat is very solid and has a great ton of pop. Our fence is 300' and the balls we use a 44cor 375lb compression.
Cons: Only problem I have with this bat is it gets dirty quickly, but it's a bat...I'll deal with it.
by Rik - Nov 29, 2012
Pros: Destroys the ball with the wrapper still on it. Massive sweet spot. Amazingly balanced.
Cons: Let me know if you can find one
by Jeff - Feb 02, 2013
Pros: Hit well with good pop while is lasted
Cons: Cracked and split the end cap in the third game I used it.
by seniorsoftballer - Apr 19, 2013
Pros: Very hot bat out of the wrapper. 1st at bat was a line shot to left center fence! Like the heavier weight
Cons: Everyone wants to try it out!
by JB - Nov 28, 2012
Pros: The pop is amazing. Very solid!
Cons: Have not found any.
by Jeff - Feb 13, 2013
Pros: Good pop while it lasted
Cons: After the third game the end cap cracked in half and the barrel had a crack that was 1.5" long. Sent to Miken they replace the end cap but said the bat wasn't cracked. They claim it is just a decal flaking off. This is a crack. Sorry Miken you just lost a long time customer.
by zpitts14 - Mar 02, 2013
Pros: jumps off the bat after just a little break in. weight is greatly dispersed and feel light.
Cons:
by Derek - Mar 25, 2013
Pros: Great pop right out of wrapper. Feels good and swings great. great addition to my arsenal.
Cons: end cap broke in half in 4th game. sent back to miken and they replaced the endcap. this bat is only for warm weather and make sure you don't hit too many of the top. We will see how it responds now that i just got it back .
by Big Mike - Apr 03, 2013
Pros: Cool Looking!
Cons: It is a log out of the wrapper! Have entire team beating on it to loosen up! Not impressed yet. At about 100 swings and still no pop! Maybe soon...
by freightrain36 - Apr 12, 2013
Pros: Has good pop
Cons: I have swung this bat about 75 balls and it already cracking down the side and also the end cap is coming off as well as the handle is pealing off. if this is what 200 dollars gets me from Miken guess I will go with someone else.
by dontwannawin - Apr 15, 2013
Pros: Feels lighter than 30 oz. Im a little guy with quick bat speed and a little pop. never pulled down left firld line with a 30 before, but i can with this bat. Ordered it on a thursday night, it was there friday afternoon. Only found the sweet spot once, but have hit several bombs off the end cap and a few deep outs off the taper. Love the sound it makes. Highly recommend this bat for anyone, ASA or USSSA, it doesnt matter.
Cons: I found theres not as much pop out of the wrapper as others have found, but i can tell it will open up soon, so i guess its not a complete con...
by joemertens - Apr 25, 2013
Pros: this bat is sick!!!!! right out of the wrapper i was hitting the ball harder and further! after i had 50 swings i took 10 pitches and hit 6-7 over the fence at at least 325 all the way to 375. highly suggested!
Cons: paint chipped early, but i was hittin in 56 degree weather, wouldnt see a problem in 65 degree weather.
by bronx bomber - Apr 30, 2013
Pros: Bat has tremendous pop.
Cons: Had it for 3 month and the cap cracked and popped off.
by Chris Mcc - May 01, 2013
Pros: Great Looking bat with a ton of potential. nice grip! very well balanced
Cons: Bat has little pop out of the wrapper, after about a practice with the whole team using it to break it in, the bat came alive, and some big bombs got hit. Then I noticed a small crack, thought it may just be a stress...hit about 5 more balls, and the crack is now about 4.5" long, sending it back to miken. under 200 swings
by the sip - Jan 18, 2013
Pros: purchase the 15 jan that same day 15 pitches hit 5 out
Cons: na
by Chad - Mar 28, 2013
Pros: Have only used in BP a few times and the weather was still cool. Still hit several out. Still waiting for it to warm up to see how the bat really does.
Cons: None.
by Arty16 - Apr 14, 2013
Pros: This bat has amazing pop out of the wrapper just to know its only going to get better !!!!! Highly recommended

by Bunkler - Apr 23, 2013
Pros: Still breaking it in, but feels pretty good. Has nice pop but I think it will get better when fully broken in.
Cons: None that i know of.
by rich - May 02, 2013
Pros: Once broke in it hits like my 2011 Miken Super Freak endload, and I love that bat.
Cons: Wasn't hot out of wrapper took a couple hundred swings, but when it broke in, it took off. Great bat
by bats - May 11, 2013
Pros: Hot out of the wrapper, 2 swings 1 homerun 1 fly out to fence.
Cons: None right now
by Anonymous - May 15, 2013
Pros: Took the bat out of the wrapper at a game and my team hit seven homeruns over the fence that night and we havent hit any over prior. Other team was crying that the bat was illegal. Cant wait to see what it does when its fully broken in. Deffinaltly recommend this bat can't beat it for the price...
Cons: NONE!!!
by Chris - May 16, 2013
Pros: Everything! I'm not sure what one poster said about the bat being on the non-approved ASA list. It's on the approved list, I've checked it multiple times.
Cons: It's a white bat, it got dirty playing in the GA red clay very quickly but then again what equipment of mine hasn't?
by j - May 20, 2013
Pros: Just bought it.
Cons: Hope it doesn't crack or cap comes off like others.
by Suprising Feel - Feb 12, 2013
Pros: This bat has a nice sound to it. I swing it and a few doublewalls and this seems to give a very solid sweetspot swing each time. It's not a guaranteed homer bat, but has good pop.
Cons:
by pat - Apr 09, 2013
Pros: This is the best hitting out of the wrapper bat I have ever had. I have been playing a long time and no bat has ever impressed me this much!
Cons: Whoever catches the ball after being hit is going to be hurtin'.
by cdarizona - Apr 24, 2013
Pros: Great bat, a lot of pop, probably the best bat I have used.
Cons: ASA posted a list of nonapproved bats with a stamp and this bat is on that list.
by Ras - Feb 12, 2013
Pros: Bat is great right out of the wrapper.
Cons: Gets dirty quick, but then its baseball.

Ask QuestionDo have the BPF factor for the Miken SOULTA Ultra? It is not stamped on the bat as per usual. I know it is ASA approved but if you have the BPF factor for this bat, could you let me know? Thanks.
Asked by ronnie on May 01, 2013
The 2013 Miken Ultra ASA: SOULTA Slow Pitch does not have the BPF 1.20 stamp. It is approved in ASA only.
· May 01, 2013
Is this bat considered single wall?
Asked by David on Apr 26, 2013
The terms "single-wall" and "double-wall" only apply to alloy bats. The 2013 Miken Ultra ASA: SOULTA is a composite bat composed of multiple layers of carbon fibers and resins, but will not be classified as single-wall or double-wall as it is a composite bat.

I'm 6'2" and 250 lbs with fairly good bat speed. Would you recommend a 28 oz. or 30 oz.?
Asked by TPA on Apr 22, 2013
I would recommend the 2013 Miken Ultra ASA: SOULTA Slow Pitch in a 30 oz. for a player your size. We recommend you choose a weight that you have used in the past and are comfortable with.
· Apr 22, 2013
Dose the 2013 Miken Ultra ASA: Soulta need to be broke in to get better performance out if the bat?
Asked by jared on Apr 21, 2013
The Miken Ultra does come out of the wrapper with good pop, but it does heat up even more after about 200-300 hits to help break up the material.
· Apr 21, 2013
We play in an ASA league but the bats must be 1.2 BPF. Will this bat be legal in this league?
Asked by Alex on Apr 16, 2013
The 2013 Miken Ultra ASA: SOULTA Slow Pitch is only ASA certified. If your league requires 1.20 BPF bats, it sounds like they require USSSA certified bats. I would check with a league official on the legality of bats with only the ASA certification.
· Apr 16, 2013
The bats in our 55+ ASA league must have the 2004 ASA stamp on them, can this bat be used in our league, and if not which bat models carry the above stamp?
Asked by Ron on Apr 15, 2013
The 2013 Miken Ultra ASA: SOULTA has the new ASA stamp, but does not have the 2004 ASA stamp and would be illegal in your specific league. The bats we have that still carry the old 2004 ASA stamp are: Louisville Slugger TPS Warrior: SB12W, Anderson NanoTek SP Omega: NANOSPO, 2013 Easton Hammer: SP13HM, 2013 Easton Cyclone: SP13CY, 2013 Easton Reflex: SP13RX, 2013 RIP-IT Prototype: S13DA, 2013 Louisville Slugger TPS Z-2000 Balanced ASA: SB13ZAB, and 2013 Louisville Slugger TPS Z-2000 End Load ASA: SB13ZAE

Asked by Hoover on Apr 09, 2013

· Apr 09, 2013
How will this bat handle hitting .44/375 compression balls if it is meant for the softer .52/300 compression balls? Will it not last as long? Will the balls come off the bat as well as other bats designed for the .44/375?
Asked by mnsoftball7 on Apr 03, 2013
The 2013 Miken Ultra ASA: SOULTA slow pitch bat has the new ASA stamp and is designed to hit the lower compression (50 or 52 COR) softballs. Hitting the higher compression balls with this bat will make it more susceptible to cracking.
· Apr 03, 2013
How big is the sweet spot?
Asked by Sanford81 on Mar 30, 2013
The sweet spot will be very big. The 2013 Miken Ultra ASA: SOULTA Slow Pitch bat will feature Miken's e-flex ultra technology for maximum performance and sweet spot.
· Mar 30, 2013

· Mar 05, 2013
I'm having issues with the new 2013 Ultra ASA, the end cap keeps cracking and breaking off. It's now been replaced twice, I just received my third replacement but I did notice the end cap was different, it appears Miken put the older style end cap back on this one. Both bats were brand new only two weeks old before breaking, absolutely no modifications were done to both bats, not even rolled. Have you heard of this issue or am I the only one experiencing this?
Asked by GTB on Feb 12, 2013
Since the 2013 Mike Ultra was released, we have only received a few reports of cracked endcaps. Based on the number of units sold, this is a very small number and so far, it has displayed above average durability.
· Feb 12, 2013
How long will this bat be legal? I went out and purchased the Ultra 2 when it came out, it was legal for one season. Will this bat do the same thing?
Asked by mouth on Jan 28, 2013
The 2013 Miken Ultra ASA: SOULTA Slow Pitch is approved for play in ASA leagues only. Unfortunately we do not find out which bats will be legal for play in the next season until the lists are published for everyone.
· Jan 28, 2013
How is the durability since it has thin walls, and does it get stress cracks quickly?
Asked by maddog36 on Jan 16, 2013
Based on the reviews, there has not been any issues with this bats durability. Remember, The 2013 Miken Ultra ASA: SOULTA Slow Pitch bat features a 12 month warranty through Miken if the bat does become defective.
· Jan 16, 2013
I asked a question back on Dec 4th abut this bat and the new standard and understood that under the new ASA standard the bats would be hotter. I got the new Miken Ultra and the Easton S2 and took them to our city's bat tester and both passed the compression tester that was used to test bats last year. Why are the new bats passing the same compression test as the old bats? (Last year's Synergy was hotter on this test than the new Ultra.)
Asked by RB57 on Jan 08, 2013
Unfortunately, we have no say in the testing of bats and do not have the resources to conduct compression tests. I recommend contacting ASA themselves at (405) 424-5266.
· Jan 08, 2013
Can this bat be used in 50 degree temp?
Asked by moondoggy on Jan 06, 2013
Yes. You just need to limit how many hits you put on it in those temperatures.
· Jan 06, 2013
Can you use this bat in any league (ASA) or is it not approved in certain ASA leagues?
Asked by tjkila on Dec 12, 2012
The 2013 Miken Ultra ASA: SOULTA Slow Pitch bat is approved for use in ASA Only. It will feature the new ASA stamp and be certified 100 COMP.
· Dec 12, 2012
I have noticed that the new Miken Ultra is only approved for ASA. (same for the new Worths) If it complies with the new 100 MPH standard, why did the other governing bodies i.e. NSA, USSSA, SSUSA, ISA not approve it? The new Eastons are approved by the other Associations.
Asked by RB 57 on Dec 04, 2012
The testing has changed for both ASA and USSSA. Please follow this link for a detailed explanation of the testing and certifications done by USSSA and ASA; http://www.justbats.com/blog/index.php/3226/asa-rule-update/.
· Dec 04, 2012
I believe I saw this bat at the 2012 Winter Nationals and the sales rep said this is about 7 - 8 % less than an Ultra II in performance.....is that true? If true that would be one of the best ASA bats on the market and how would it rate against the original (100) mile an hour Freak?
Asked by Hunter on Nov 26, 2012
Unfortunately, we do not have any hard information or statistics about the specific performance levels of new ASA bats. With questions as detailed as that, I recommend contacting Miken at 1-877-807-5291.
· Nov 26, 2012
I have a Super Freak that is a 28oz. Mid-Loaded if I get a 30oz. balanced will it feel and swing about the same?
Asked by J on Nov 06, 2012
The 2013 Miken Ultra ASA: SOULTA Slow Pitch bat will be a One-Piece 100% Composite design. This bat will have a Balanced Swing Weight. If the previous bat you were using had any End Loaded feel at all, you will notice a difference in the way it swings. If you are trying to go up in weight to off set the balanced feel of this 2013 Ultra, I think you will still feel that it is truly balanced. If you are looking for an End Loaded bat, also look at the 2013 ASA Miken Triad Maxload: STRIMA Slow Pitch.
