Check out the latest Mizuno Fastpicth bat - The new Mizuno Frenzy 3.0

Mizuno has launched the new and improved Frenzy™ 3.0 Fastpitch Bat Series. The Frenzy™ 3.0 Fastpitch Bat is more balanced and offers one of the fastest and most consistent swing speeds of any bat on the market. Several NCAA teams, including the 2009 NCAA Champion Washington Huskies, relied on the Mizuno Frenzy™ 3.0 for their 2010 return to Oklahoma City for the Women's College World Series.

The Frenzy™ 3.0 Fastpitch Bats are uniquely made with Black Onyx Carbon™, a state of the art carbon fiber. This carbon fiber is made in Japan, and is the same material used in the Boeing ‘Dreamliner’ 787 jets. Black Onyx Carbon™ provides maximum distance, ultimate control, and superior durability. The Frenzy™ 3.0 Fastpitch bat is made from stronger materials for more consistent wall thickness for the most durable Mizuno bat ever.

Frenzy™ 3.0 Fastpitch bats utilize Mizuno’s Techfire™ Technology, which is a unique three-tiered layer of materials that maximizes performance through an enlarged sweet spot area. The outer layer consists of Black Onyx Carbon™, with the middle layer comprised of a carbon fiber piping, and the inner most layer made of a carbon piping. These tri-axial composites increase the sweet spot of the Frenzy™ 3.0 Fastpitch resulting in stronger and more desired performance.

Another advanced technology in the Frenzy™ 3.0 Fastpitch is Anti-Shock Construction™. Mizuno’s research and development team created this innovative technology, which is designed to reduce vibration on all “miss-hits.” To control stiffness of the Frenzy™ 3.0 Fastpitch bat from top to bottom, Mizuno’s research team added additional Black Onyx Carbon™ “flags” to the bat. There are about twice as many “flags” on each Frenzy™ 3.0 Fastpitch bat, giving 38% less vibration than previous models.

During the production process, Mizuno utilized a revolutionary air molding inner wall system designed to create a more consistent carbon frame. From there, all Frenzy™ 3.0 Fastpitch bats are tested for quality control prior to becoming available for purchase. Using X-ray scanning technology, Mizuno inspects each Frenzy™ 3.0 bat for cracks, wrinkles, and pipe separations in the carbon “flags” to ensure the quality and durability of the bats, along with the desired performance.
