2023 Louisville Slugger Meta® USSSA Baseball Bat: -10, -8, and -5

I had reservations about ordering this after reading some of the reviews. I coach LL and I’ve had a couple kids with this same bat and they loved theirs. One kid’s cracked after 1 and a half seasons but that sounds about right as far as how long a composite bat will endure. The bat arrived brand new, still wrapped in original wrapper. My son was using the new alloy Cat X2 which is quite expensive. Nothing wrong with that bat, but this one has SO MUCH pop that we decided to go for it since it was such a good price. We’ve got nothing negative to say about it. He’s absolutely smoking the balls and it’s not like he wasn’t doing that with the Marucci but he’s really punishing them now. Composites don’t last long but so far this bat has absolutely been worth it. If you’re on the fence like I was, don’t hesitate anymore. I’m glad we took the chance. You will be too.

Product as pictured! After my son’s other bat broke he was devastated thinking he wouldn’t find one with the same amount of pop. He fell in love with this bat almost immediately. The color is so nice. He says it’s super light to swing and he loves the pop it has.

This bat comes hot out of the wrapper. My son has been hitting bombs with this bat. Normally not a power hitter (not much of a hitter at all actually), but since his friend bought their bat he was hitting excellent, we bought one and he is smashing the ball now. Excellent bat1

Good price for the bat. Just sucks bc my son can’t use it in the league he’s in.

Great balance. Great bat. But…if your kid is a hitter,,it will not last long. My 12 year old during normal hitting cracks it in about a month. However, manufacturer stands behind their warranty. Great bat but buy two if your kid is strong.

This was a great purchase. Make contact and you'll see the difference how the ball comes off the bat. My son loves it.

We had the single piece meta one and it held up really well so we figured we would give this a try. After some break in swings off a tee it hit nice for a couple of 11u games. We never used it off a pitching machine. During the 4th game my son hit it near the sweet spot but you could hear that something cracked. Nothing was visible but the bat no longer had pop. We sent it in for warranty and they replaced it. After 2 games with the replacement bat, samething happened. Replacement bat is also dead and unfortunately you only get one replacement. No visible cracks. I would avoid this model even at a low price as it isn't worth the hassle.

These bats are Extremely fragile and last a few hundred swings at best. Ive bought 5 of em over the past 3 years. Performance is good until it cracks.
