A one-piece alloy bat with a balanced swing weight, featuring a reshaped AZR Alloy barrel with a wider sweet spot and Multi-Variable Wall design for improved forgiveness.

BBCOR .50 certified.

The Meta Prime is LS's more accessible USSSA composite: solid performance, lower price point than the Meta. Two-piece composite with EKO Composite material: light swing, large barrel, and an audible sound on contact that gives hitters immediate feedback on where they hit the ball. VCX2 Connection lets the barrel and handle move independently, which helps manage vibration without deadening the feel. XPND end cap pushes performance toward the barrel tip. Balanced swing, USSSA NTS Tested. Available in -10 and -8.

BBCOR .50 certified for high school, college, and select Little League divisions, backed by a 12-month warranty.

A two-piece all-composite bat with a balanced swing weight, featuring a barrel made from Continuous Fiber Composite, a single piece of composite material rolled on itself, that produces a long barrel length with consistent performance across the hitting surface. The Paraflex Plus Composite handle connects to the barrel via the Anomaly Connector for a stiff connection point. BBCOR .50 certified.

The Zoa is DeMarini's stiff-feeling two-piece composite: where the CF is known for flex, the Zoa is built for maximum energy transfer. The Anomaly Connection is designed to be as rigid as possible at contact, so more energy goes into the ball. Continuous Fiber Composite barrel performs consistently along the full barrel length, not just in the sweet spot. Available in -10, -8, and -5. The drop 5 is a common choice for 14U players preparing to make the move to BBCOR.
