Almost great Bat Bat buyer parent
Pros: Bat swings well and has pop..might not be as hot as last years LXT but it a good bat.
Cons: Last Saturday 2 players on my Daughters 14U team cracked 2 of these bats in the same tournament ( temperature was about 70 degrees)..identical breaks in the barrel. One was 2 months old one was 4 months old. Going through warranty process now.

2015 Lousville Slugger LXT FRA3x parent
Pros: Awesome bat, DD has lead her team again in offence with 2 homeruns 4 triples and 4 doubles and countless singles and were only halfway through our HS season!!!, she loves the POP and feel of her 33/23 and currently has the 15' Xeno which is a good bat but DD favors the LXT hands down, dont hesitate here its a killer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cons: none, very durable, just watch colder days, use your second bat for under 60 degrees.
Slugger Todd Rodrigues parent
Pros: Wow amazing so happy we spent the money wow!
Cons: None
Broke after 2 days :( M Conrad parent
Pros: Free return shipping
Cons: 14U daughter played in a tournament 2 days after we got the bat. Didn't pass ump inspection. Something broke inside the bat causing a rattle. Very disappointed. Should not have to return a $350 bat!!! Will go back to using a DeMarini.
Does not live up to Louisville Standard Rich parent
Pros: Liked it right upon receiving - good pop
Cons: My daughter's bat developed a strange noise when she hit with it and lost it's pop off the bat. Sounds like a baby's rattle when it's tapped. Dealing with Louisville to have it replaced but not happy with it. When it was new the ball popped right off and it sounded clean but this is annoying.
So far, great bat. KLY parent
Pros: Good pop, nice sound, added distance.
Cons: none right now.
LOVE THIS BAT Summer player
Pros: Balls jump off the bat. solid shots go extremely far, balanced weight, easy to swing.
Cons: None whatsoever
Love it Megan Deam player
Pros: Everything
Cons: The look is boring, but it's still a great bat
lxt jason coach
Pros: great pop
Cons: huge hunk flew off tenth ball daughter hit
Simply the best... LStheBest parent
Pros: Simply the best fastpitch softball bat on the market. I bought the 2015 XENO last fall. My daughter liked it so much and needed a heavier bat, so I sought a LXT -10. This is the best bat my daughter has owned. We have hit the DeMarini, but this is the best of the best. I am not going to make ridiculous claims like...."my daughter hit a homerun at her second at bat..." my daughter did not do that..but what she did do over the course of the USSSA 10U State Tournament was go 12 for 20 with 2 Triples, 2 Doubles and 10 RBI's. This bat has great pop even toward the handle. If you are interested in spending $300 on a bat, this is the one. Do not go with the 2016 at $50 more, but go with this one and just hit it. Your daughter's confidence will go through the roof. Early in the Spring my daughter cracked her XENO. Guess what?? LS sent her another one no questions asked. I gave it to another player in our team and her hitting has improved because she has confidence.
Cons: It is expensive, but my daughter needs every advantage. This bat gives her exactly that...she will not be the most talented, but she will have the best equipment that I can afford. This bat gives you the best, but at a price.
Breaks easily Kathy Reichardt parent
Pros: Bat works well for a few months.
Cons: Three girls on my daughters team bought this bat and all three broke within 4 months. Louisville has already said they won't replace our bat. Not sure about the other 2 yet. They obviously don't stand behind their products or warranties. All three bats broke during tournament play on the field. Avoid this bat.
i absolutly love this bat!!! Taran player
Pros: Before I had this bat i had an Axe bat and I hated it?? Honestly I thought that any bat would be better but I am do glad i got this bat??
Cons: Tjere is NOTHING bad about this bat!
Great Bat Nathaniel parent
Pros: Excellent pop and no vibration. Thought the 31/21 may be too big for my 10 yro daughter, but it has worked out great. I would recommend this bat.
Cons: Too early to comment on durability but it feels well constructed.
lxt softball bat shay softball player
Pros: i love this bat so much the pop is awesome
Cons: your friends will be jelly of all your hits ??

About the Brand
In 1842, J. Frederick Hillerich emigrated with his family from Baden-Baden, Germany to the United States. Eight years before, the 1834 Book of Sports had made its debut as the nation's first publication covering baseball. But when he arrived in Baltimore, J. Frederick Hillerich would never have dreamed of the future impact his family would have on America's favorite pastime.
After a short while, the Hillerichs moved to Louisville, where J. Fred started a woodworking shop in 1856. Two of his sons, Adam and John Andrew "Bud" were born in the United States and would later join their father in his business. By 1864 "J.F. Hillerich, Job Turning" was in operation and filled orders for businesses by custom-turning everything from balusters to bedposts.
The firm thrived, and by 1875 the little woodworking shop employed about 20 people. In 1880 Bud Hillerich, who was an amateur baseball player, became an apprentice in his father's shop. Young Bud made his own baseball bats along with bats for several of his teammates.
The debate over the origins of the first bat continues to generate controversy among baseball enthusiasts, but the younger Hillerich was most certainly involved in getting his father's business involved with what would become the company's signature item. According to company legend, the first bat was turned by Bud for Pete "The Old Gladiator" Browning in 1884. Browning was a star on Louisville's professional American Association team - the Eclipse. On a spring afternoon Bud, then seventeen, witnessed Browning break his favorite bat. Bud offered to make a bat for his hero, and Browning accepted. After the young wood shop apprentice lathed a quality stick from white ash, according to the story, Browning got three hits with it in the next game.
Louisville Slugger gloves are worn by more pitchers in Major League Baseball than any other glove.
