Facts as the maker states them, read 21 Oct 2026
The Metal 2 USSSA is an aluminum alloy USSSA bat sold in drop 5, drop 8 and drop 10 versions and 27 to 32 inch lengths, with an extended barrel, a redesigned end cap and an updated grip wrap. The page describes a balanced swing weight.
| Material | Alloy |
|---|---|
| Construction | quality aluminum alloy; extended barrel; newly redesigned end cap; comfortable and grippy wrap |
| Drop | −5, −8, −10What this meansDrop is length minus weight: a 30 in, 20 oz bat is a -10. A bigger drop number means a lighter bat for its length. Younger players use -10 to -13; USSSA 13U is usually capped at -5; high school and college are -3. Tip: Check the drop your league allows before you look at anything else. |
| Lengths | 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32 in |
| Balance | BalancedWhat this meansWeight is spread evenly, so the bat feels lighter than its number. A player who uses the knob or handle to deliver the barrel often needs the weight balanced or down toward the hands. Balance is not barrel size: some big-barrel bats are balanced. Tip: Which one is right depends on your player and how consistently they deliver the barrel. |
| Sizes | 27; 28; 29; 30; 31; 32 (length selector only, weights not shown; Drop selector: Drop 5, Drop 8, Drop 10) |
| Certification | USSSAWhat this meansThe travel-ball stamp (1.15 BPF mark on the taper). Hotter than USA bats, barrels up to 2-3/4 in. Drop limits vary by state and age group. Tip: Travel teams usually mean USSSA; ask the coach which state rules apply. |
| Warranty | If your bat breaks within its warranty period, we will replace it for free. Warranty Length: 1Y (from image alt text). |
