-   I purchased this bat a month ago. After hitting two foul balls, the bat got scratched beyond my expectations.
    
-   This bat has no pop, feels like a USA bat, should be a cage bat, no pop, no pop!

### Expert Notes ([Tony from BatExperts](https://sidelineswap.com/batexperts))

  

The Louiseville Select PWR bat is one of the hottest bass out there for hybrids. The BBCOR model is a heavier bat and is in the same category as The Goods by DeMarini. Only about 20% of the market is going to be able to use this bat just because of it’s weight. It’s designed for a power hitter who likes a stiff feel and big barrel.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* This bat has a fantastic feel, sound, and performance on miss-hits. It boasts one of the largest sweet spots in BBCOR. Although it lacks feedback, it is very easy to swing.
* Great feel and pop. Although I usually change grips, the stock grip on this bat is solid. The durability is very impressive as well, as the bat has already outlasted most others.
* No failures on Meta bats except cosmetic chips. They perform better than new. High school varsity team used 32-3 for 2 years 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.


### **Certification**: BBCOR, USSSA


### Expert Notes (Parker)

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.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* My son hit three home runs at a college prospect camp this weekend with his latest version of the Goods bat. He says it feels amazing and the improvement to the connector piece has added even more pop!
* This bat means business! Enhanced power and distance. 2024 looks promising!
* I bought this bat three weeks ago, and I must say that the barrel is massive! I had been using the Cat X for a while and decided to switch to a new bat. I picked up the Goods, and in my opinion, it's a far superior bat, especially if you're an experienced hitter.

**CONS**



* "My son loved using this $450 bat, but after three weeks the plastic piece where the shaft meets the barrel cracked. Haven't started the warranty process yet. Another review mentioned a similar issue, so buyer beware!"
* Bat bought 3 months ago. Loved the balance and pop but junction cracked. Handle now telescopes into barrel. Expected better quality for price. Replacement in 2-3 wks hard to accept. Will stick with one-piece bat.
* Brand new bat, probably only used for about 20 swings during live hitting. During their first at-bat in a game, the two-piece connection of the bat cracked. However, the bat still had great pop.


### **Certification**: BBCOR, USSSA, USA


### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts))

The Goods One Piece is the end loaded, heavier version of the Voodoo One. Very similar design, a one piece alloy bat. You have a tiny market share that uses it; the popularity isn't as strong as the two piece simply because The Goods One Piece seems to rattle. If you don't hit it in the barrel's sweet spot, you can get a little feedback in the hands, a slight vibration. The Goods two-piece has a damper built in, so if you didn't hit it just right, it absorbed some of that vibration, whereas the one-piece doesn't have that technology.  \
