Louisville Slugger 2024 Meta Fastpitch Bats: -11/-10/-9/-8 Drop

We were looking for a great composite bat for our 10U daughter, who’s a solid contact hitter. She absolutely loves this bat—the balanced feel is perfect for her swing, and the pop is impressive. It gives her the confidence to step up to the plate and make consistent contact. Highly recommend for younger players who prefer control and a smooth swing—especially with the price being more affordable than many other high-end bats.

This is a great beginner composite bat for contact hitters. It's on the low end for price for composite bats making it a great introductory bat if you've got a contact hitter. I'm not sure how it would hold up against a power hitter but my daughter loves it. Lots of pop and lots of big hits! Seems durable. We went up a size and used rubber chokes since she's growing so fast. So far she's played 4 tournaments, fall ball and done A LOT of batting practice with it and it's holding up nicely. Should be the perfect size for her this coming season.

Probably the best bat we ever had. Besides my old 90s tpx. Woo

My daughter loves, I mean loves her new bat!!!! The pop is great when she finds that sweet spot on the bat! Great and durable bat! She is able to manage the weight of the bat very well! She is not considered a power hitter! Looks and feels great.

Very nice bat! Hot right out of the wrapper. I noticed a big difference in how the ball flew off my daughter's bar immediately. Bat has a nice feel to it. Balanced with just a little weight at the end. Good for hitters who are contact first but still want the ball to fly.

Good quality

We picked up the Louisville Slugger Fastpitch Softball Bat for my daughter this season, and the difference has been night and day. Right out of the wrapper, it had great pop, and after a few practices, she was consistently hitting deeper into the outfield than ever before. The bat feels incredibly balanced—light enough for a quick swing, but with enough heft to drive the ball. The grip is comfortable, and the vibration dampening is no joke. Even on mishits, it doesn’t sting her hands like some other bats have in the past. She’s gained confidence at the plate and is loving every second of using this bat. Teammates are constantly asking to try it out too. Worth every penny! Highly recommend for any serious fastpitch player. f you're on the fence, go for it. This bat delivers. ⚾🔥

My 12u daughter loves it. Great pop, the heavier bat (-9) does send that ball further. Great price!
