👍 Pros
Both my kids love this bat. It produces more exit velocity than any other BBCOR bat we've used.
Huge sweet spot. When my son hits the ball, it really takes off.
This bat is a tank. If you get this bat it will guarantee you 5 more exit velo.

👎 Cons
The grip is way too thick.
Just the crazy price.
Its a little more balanced than my kids like.

If you're looking for the best BBCOR bat money can buy, the Meta Prime is definitely worth considering. It’s a fantastic bat for serious players looking to maximize their performance. The pop, balance, and comfort are top-notch. However, the price tag is a major drawback. If you're a high school player or someone on a tight budget, there are better options out there, like the 2020 Meta, which is essentially the same bat as the 2019 Meta Prime, but cheaper.
