👍 Pros |
---|
This bat has a fantastic feel, sound, and performance on miss-hits. It boasts one of the largest sweet spots in BBCOR. |
Great feel and pop. I usually change grips but the stock grip on this bat is solid. |
I've used my Meta for 2 years playing varsity baseball without issues. Change grip tape yearly and keep hitting! |
👎 Cons |
---|
The finish will chip if hit against spikes. |
It's expensive.... and not crazy about the color. |
This bat has no pop. I'm so disappointed by it's performance! |
The Louisville Slugger Meta is still a slightly newer model. The Meta is similar to the DeMarini CF which offers a lightweight composite handle with a huge barrel made for every sort of hitter. A popular series that offers great jump-off-the-barrel when you hit the sweet spot and keeps the sting off your hands when the ball is missed on the cap or handle.
