• F2X™ PERFORMANCE END CAP: Maximizes the barrel profile without sacrificing bat control or swing speed.
• BALANCED SWING WEIGHT: An easy-swinging profile with a touch of weight targeted toward the end of the barrel, helping all types of players deliver maximum pop.
• REINFORCED DISK SYSTEM: Ensures maximum performance and durability with every swing.

THE DESIGN STORY

From the start, our team had one goal: build the unbuildable bat. Then find a way to make it a reality and improve with each new variation. That process wasn’t easy and it took time to ensure every detail was scrutinized – no matter how small. Starting with our injection-molded knob, we meticulously handcrafted every aspect of this bat to function flawlessly with one another. Our all-new F2X™ Performance End Cap features a similar base structure to some of the most iconic bats we’ve ever made, but with a never-before-seen transparent design. Every design element was driven by thousands of hours of player feedback – making sure the needs of every player type were met.  All this culminated in a completely new way to build a gapped wall bat that allows us to deliver better performance and durability to players – along with an attention-grabbing sound that’s going to take the game by storm. There’s no breaking in a Meta. It’s ready when you are.
