Miken E-Flex 360+ Barrel & Handle Technology

12″ E-Flex 360+ Barrel Technology

The E-Flex 360+ barrel is engineered with Miken's exclusive C-4 carbon fiber and a new multiple proprietary resin system that maximizes barrel angles for up to 10% more barrel flex around the entire circumference of the barrel. Built into a compact 12″ barrel, it delivers a hot, forgiving sweet spot in a smaller footprint — a hallmark of every bat in the Miken slowpitch softball bats lineup.

1-Piece Construction

Unlike 2-piece composite builds, the JB26's 1-piece design fuses the barrel and handle into a single unit. That means less energy is lost through the connection point, giving hitters a stiffer, more direct transfer of energy at contact.

Mid Flex Handle

The Mid Flex handle sits in the middle of Miken's handle lineup, blending stiffness with just enough whip for a responsive, controlled feel on every swing without sacrificing exit speed.

A1 Knob

The A1 knob is shaped for a secure, comfortable grip that keeps your hands locked in through the full swing, helping you stay connected to the barrel and transfer more energy into the ball.

Maxload End Load

This bat carries a Maxload (.5 oz) end load, shifting additional weight into the barrel end. That extra mass builds momentum through the hitting zone, giving power hitters more thump on contact compared to a balanced swing weight.
