2024 Louisville Slugger "Gold" META USSSA Baseball Bat -5

Elevate your game with the 2024 Louisville Slugger Meta Gold USSSA -5 Baseball Bat, a limited-edition powerhouse designed for the elite hitter. This specific "Gold" edition—often referred to as the LTD or White/Gold model—combines a stunning aesthetic with the high-performance engineering that has made the Meta a staple on the travel ball circuit.

Built specifically for the stronger, more advanced player in the -5 drop weight, this bat offers the perfect transition for athletes moving toward BBCOR competition while maintaining the massive barrel and explosive pop allowed by USSSA standards.

Key Performance Features

• Linear EKO Composite Barrel: This premium single-wall barrel profile is engineered to provide a light swing weight and an optimized sweet spot. The linear construction ensures that the bat delivers maximum energy transfer and a distinct, crisp "crunch" sound on contact.
• VCX2 Vibration Control Connection: A patented three-piece connection system that allows for independent movement between the barrel and the handle. This technology effectively kills vibration and "sting," providing an unmatched, smooth feel even on mishits.
• GT1 End Cap: This lightweight cap is specifically tuned to complement the composite barrel, maximizing the barrel length and increasing swing speed without sacrificing balance.
• Balanced Swing Weight: Unlike many heavy-hitting -5 bats that feel end-loaded, the Meta Gold maintains a balanced profile. This allows elite players to maintain barrel control and generate high bat speeds through the zone.
• 2 5/8” Barrel Diameter: Optimized for the -5 drop, this barrel size provides the mass needed for home run power while meeting USSSA standards for senior league play.

Why Choose the 2024 Meta Gold -5?

The 2024 Meta Gold is more than just a visual upgrade. For the -5 hitter, the Meta series is prized for its "true-to-weight" feel. While many competitors' -5 models can feel "loggy" or difficult to maneuver, the Meta's three-piece design ensures that the weight is distributed for maximum whip. The "Gold" edition is a rare find on the field, offering a premium look to match its top-tier performance.
