Meta bat 20209/17/2023 ![]() If the very people who made the bat don’t trust the quality enough to back it up with a full warranty, then why should I invest my hard-earned cash in it? That may seem narcissistic, but at least it shows that the manufacturer has enough faith in their bat to put a warranty on it. The warranty is like a seal of approval except for the manufacturer of the product itself. It’s not so much because I anticipate that I’m going to have to use the warranty, but more so concern for a lack of it. If you know anything about me, then you’re probably more than familiar with the fact that I value the warranty on all bats I buy. I was a bit reluctant to believe that a three-piece bat concept could even work, but Louisville Slugger definitely executed it perfectly, and the Louisville Slugger 2020 Meta is a prime example of that. This is a revolutionary shift in design that the three-piece bat brings to the table and can really bring your performance to the next level. In contrast, the flexband in three-piece bats is like a shock absorber that keeps the vibration in the barrel away from the handle. ![]() In most two-piece models, you’ll find that the energy in the barrel will echo into the bat’s handle. The flexband goes between the two parts of the bat and takes care of the main problem in two-piece models-the vibration. Think of it as a mediator between the barrel and the handle. Well, the third piece that makes up three-piece bats is known as the flexband. You’re probably wondering what the third piece could be since the barrel and handle are the only pieces you’d see on a bat. If you aren’t familiar with the discussion, then the summary of it is that one-piece bats help heavy swingers retain all of their power while two-piece bats help the average Joe swing harder due to the whip effect that the two pieces create. If you’ve read some of my other bat reviews, then you already know all about the debate between one-piece bats and two-piece bats. If you can lug one of those heavyweights, then I admire you, but don’t be afraid to go for a balanced weight bat if it helps you perform better. Balanced weight bats, in contrast, have the material evenly distributed across their surface, meaning that even players with an average swing will be able to generate high power in each hit and get more consistent results. ![]() However, if you don’t have enough swing power-which is nothing to be ashamed of-then you might not be able to swing it fast enough. Here are some details on the bat as well as my personal testing experience with it at the end. My already-high expectations were not only met but exceeded by a long shot. ![]() Just based on the manufacturer itself, I was already going into this review with high hopes and once I actually got to take the bat for a field test I was not disappointed. In contrast, it’s like a new generation of baseball bats has been released to the world whenever you pick up one of the new models from Louisville Slugger. With other bat manufacturers, you feel like their new releases are nearly identical to their old models with a few tweaks and some minor improvements. Over the years, I’ve reviewed more bats from this manufacturer than I care to count, but each one still manages to baffle me with how much they improve the quality from the last bat to the next, especially this Louisville Slugger 2020 Meta. ![]() Louisville Slugger has always been one of the top bat companies when it comes to baseball, and they’ve recently released another one of their amazing creations. ![]()
