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.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/tgwblog.kinsta.cloud\/blog-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/08\/2022-Louisville-Slugger-Meta-Fastpitch-Bat-connector.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;2022 Louisville Slugger Meta Fastpitch Bat connector&#8221; title_text=&#8221;2022 Louisville Slugger Meta Fastpitch Bat connector&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>This is a two-piece bat and features Louisville Slugger\u2019s VTX Connection System which allows for independent movement between the barrel and the handle.
