@KennieProton posted:The meta prime in blue was actually banned in 33". Same bat as the red meta prime as far as I could tell. They were selling for $1500 on eBay at one point point. There is also a meta pwr prime that was very good but didn't get banned. Meta is hands down the the best for smaller kids but they go dead over time. If you have more size the one piece metal voodoos were good. I hear the newest Cat is very good.
Some will say it's the shooter not the arrow but there are definitely bats that were better than others. The previously mentioned -5 and -10 USSSA Zens and other Demarini CFs were lethal weapons. I read a story about a guy in Texas who used a tool they use to find hot bats in softball tournaments and college WS who said that the off the shelf Zen was hotter than a shaved bat. I've seen them explode on contact. They were legendary, and dangerous.
The LS rep told me the only difference is the paint and the connection piece due to the red Meta having some breaking issues. The 2021 Meta is much different. They had to put some type of rings on the inside the barrel to meet the specs.
