2024 Miken KP23 KYLE PEARSON Signature Slowpitch Softball Bats (Endload and Balanced)

[@dabig25]

Have the balanced version and it's RIDICULOUS

[@gnarkansas8847]

Big Ben and crew! Thanks for the videos! Appreciate the unbiased reviews. Question for you. If these are in your top three, where would you rank the 1P Ressy, Bedlams 12” and 12.75” barrel or Miken Top Notch?

[@BigBenBP]

Hey, thanks so much! Those bats are all solid the performers, you just have to be mindful of compression. The Bedlam has a little crisper feel to the barrel, and the military edition has a slightly different endload weighting than all of them. My top notch has held compression the longest out of all of them while the original one piece Bedlam was the least durable. Strictly performance, the military bedlam and the KP‘s were the best. Keep an eye out for my list of top bats for 2024 where I’ll get into a lot more detail.

[@gnarkansas8847]

@ Thanks for the reply! I originally had the OG 1P blue/white Tantrum, the 1P dark gray/orange Bedlam, the 1P Primo, both Pro M1s and this 1P KP in the 12.”5. By far this KP has felt and sounded the best for me. I do lots of BP to get the bats game ready. We don’t get tested much at all here on bats. As of now we can still use 220s but when we do switch it to 240s I will game the KP. Looking forward to your 1P bat reviews. Side note I have yet to get my hands on the Combat personally. I did see one in person, but prefer the thinner taper from handle to barrel on short barrel 1Ps.

@ ​​⁠ nice! I’m gonna see if I can get my hands on a combat so I can get a little video at least for a short review

[@eddychang290]

What would be the other bats in your top 3? You really seemed to like the bedlam military, how would you compare that one to the KP23 maxload?

[@BigBenBP]

@@eddychang290 Bedlam has a different design of Endload than the KP. Other top bats for me are Demarini Lady Cartel, Juno Vanquish, Pure Competitive Edge, Louisville Iron Man 3.0

[@eddychang290]

Hey Ben would you normally move up an oz for a balanced vs an endload?

[@BigBenBP]

Sometimes I do, but it really depends on the bat.

[@joerapo]

So does KP simultaneously have signature bats with two different companies?

[@raulgarciajr2707]

The other kp is a different guy

[@BigBenBP]

Like Raul said, two different guys, same name.

[@FrankHardcastle-nq4jm]

The bats are great but don't seam to hold compression. I have seen a guy buy one and right out of the wrapper it didn't pass compression. This was at E worlds in Florida at space coast. It was a KP 23 el. I had a 1 piece bedlam not pass after 20 swings. They would be great for leagues where they do not test.

[@BigBenBP]

@@FrankHardcastle-nq4jm yes sir, that’s been the struggle for a lot of the Rawlings lineup this year

[@raulgarciajr2707]

Ben do play conference ball

[@BigBenBP]

No sir, I have played some upper ball but not very often.
