Technology
The 2022 Louisville Slugger Meta fastpitch bat features a unique Mash composite barrel. This composite material and construction are engineered to be the highest performing fastpitch barrel in the game with an unmistakable sound. An innovative gapped wall design features a cantilevered inner barrel that is not connected at the end cap, allowing it to translate on impact with a performance they describe as combining a trampoline with a diving board. The result is a massive sweet spot and ideal results on every swing.
This is a two-piece bat and features Louisville Slugger’s VTX Connection System which allows for independent movement between the barrel and the handle. That offers every hitter incredible performance and feel with less vibration, even on mis-hits.
Their all-new F2X end cap is designed to work specifically with Meta’s gapped wall platforms. It is completely transparent and adds a stylish finishing touch to a softball bat that maximizes the barrel profile, bat control, and swing speed. The Meta also showcases an easy-swinging profile with just a touch of added weight toward the end of the barrel, helping every player deliver maximum pop.
Then they finish the bat off with an LS Pro Comfort Grip. This grip features increased tack and cushion for better feel and more control.
Who It’s For
The 2022 Louisville Slugger Meta fastpitch bat is a two-piece bat so it is a great fit for all hitters but especially for hitters that do it all at the plate.
