Yep. A team member of DD just had her newer Meta go bad this weekend. This was the warranty bat too.I’m not poor, but when I buy the best LS bat for 450$ I fully expect it to last more than a month. Especially with my then 12 year old daughter hitting.
LXT has been much better in spite of downgrading. The rep knew the Meta doesn’t hold up and I happily ate the $50.
100% bullshit that a 12 yo would damage/wear out a $400 bat ever.
