New Louisville Slugger Xeno

Back by popular demand and being released earlier than expected is the new 2013 Louisville Slugger Xeno.  The Xeno is one of the hottest Fastpitch bats on the market and has been getting great reviews for years.  The 2013 Xeno is manufactured with Louisville Slugger’s LS 2X Composite and features their S1iD technology.  These two technologies make the Xeno one of the best Fastpitch bats from year to year.  The S1iD technology is done by placing two inner discs inside the barrel at the sweet spot which halts the barrel from flexing past the allowable performance level.  However, with precise positioning of these inner discs within the barrel, Louisville Slugger is able to increase the performance around the sweet spot which means you get a larger performing sweet spot from day 1. This S1iD technology makes this bat “Game Ready”, no more break-in periods.  The LS 2X composite is Louisville Sluggers highest preforming material.  This composite is very thin and layered together giving these bats a light weight feel and unmatched durability.  See what all the excitement is about.
