We spent considerable time dissecting every USSSA slowpitch bat on the market. We’ve hit with them, spoke with serious players who have used all of them and read reviews on the highly rated ones. After that, we think the best USSSA softball bat, that is mostly widely available, is Miken's Izzy Psycho SuperMax USSSA bat. Measuring flight distance with our rapsodo machine put a lot of bats in the top class, but the Izzy Psycho gave us the better user feedback and flight data. You will notice that our top three bats in the Slowpitch softball space are all Miken bats. We do not know the folks at Miken, nor do we work for them, obviously. We are an independent review site that takes information from players and major vendors to determine which bat does the best. As well, we also have experience using the bats, studying bat technology. In the end, no matter how we slice the feedback, we can’t help but find our top three bats as Miken.
The right slowpitch USSSA bat size is really a test of trial and error. We've met big dudes who like small bats and small guys that like big bats. There does not to be much rhyme or reason between the bloke with guns and some chap with bean arms likes one bat size over another aside from simple preference. The good news is the Miken Phscyo comes in a 34/26 only (at least widely available) so we say go for it. You will notice that our top three bats in the Slowpitch softball space are all Miken bats.

While some bats are both USSSA and ASA certified, the following list only contains USSSA certified bats. NSA and ISA certifications almost always allow for USSSA bats, too. As such, the vast majority of slowpitch USSSA bats also have NSA and ISA stamps.
January is around the time the 2020 slowpitch USSSA bats arrive. If, in the meantime, any bat unseats the Miken Izzy Pshyco SuperMax we will update this page. But we are not holding our breath.
