The 2026 Louisville Slugger Supra is a balanced two-piece composite designed to fill the Meta’s spot in Slugger’s USSSA lineup with a more controlled, modern feel. It delivers a smooth swing, strong barrel response, and a traditional composite experience that now plays closer to the top tier than a true mid-pack option.
Models Overview
The Supra is offered in USSSA drops -10, -8, and -5. Each version maintains a balanced swing profile aimed at contact-oriented and all-around hitters rather than power-first players.
Construction & Technology
A two-piece composite USSSA bat with a firm, controlled response at contact. The Supra uses a composite barrel and composite handle with a standard connection, prioritizing stability over flex. Swing feel is balanced, with moderate barrel forgiveness and a noticeable break-in period before peak performance.
Performance Comparison
The 2026 Supra is a new model line rather than a direct evolution of the Meta. While it occupies a similar lineup position, its on-field performance and feel differ, offering a firmer and more controlled composite response. Expectations should be set accordingly.
Comparable Bats
Comparable USSSA composites include the DeMarini Zen, the Easton Hype Fire, and the Easton Dub. Compared to these, the Supra emphasizes balance and predictability over explosive response or end-loaded power.
