Louisville Slugger Meta Baseball Bats

Young players unlocking their power in the batter's box, who want a lightweight design with a maximized barrel size.

Perfect bat for:

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.

The Louisville Slugger Meta series is at the forefront of technological innovation in baseball bats, offering players a high-performance combination of power and balance. Featuring Louisville Slugger’s patented 3FX Connection System and EKO™ Composite Barrel technology, the Meta delivers an explosive energy transfer. This bat also delivers a stiff feel with minimal vibration—and a massive sweet spot.

Here is a list that details the progression of this series, highlighting the main features and advancements with each new model.

Progression of the Louisville Slugger Meta Series: 

The Louisville Slugger Meta swings heavy for power hitters while the DeMarini CF Zen prioritizes contact with its lightweight speed. The Easton ADV 360 balances the two with a comfortable swing weight. The Meta boasts a pop-maximizing EKO barrel and vibration-reducing tech, while the CF Zen counters with a massive sweet spot and a swing speed-enhancing build. The ADV 360 features a balanced swing weight and a two-piece technology for a solid connection, making it a versatile choice.

### 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
