## What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* This bat is amazing! Both my 18-year-old and 15-year-old love it. It produces more exit velocity than any other BBCOR bat we've used."
* My son owns both the Cat8 and the Meta. The Cat8 has decent pop, but nothing compared to the Meta. The sweet spot on the Meta is at least three times larger, and when he connects, the ball takes off.
* This bat is a tank. If you get this bat it will guarantee you 5 more exit velo.

**CONS**



* The grip is thick.
* Just the crazy price. But at this point, I'm numb to bat prices.
* Check to see if you can even use this bat, illegal for NCAA and NFHS play.


### **Certification**:

The Meta Prime is BBCOR-certified, making it legal for play in high school and collegiate levels.
