LXT vs Xeno b jefcoat
Pros: Looks good. No real way to rate durability, so I will give it 5 stars for the benefit of the doubt.
Cons: Bought the LXT and the 2014 Xeno to replace a 2012 Xeno. My daughter went to batting practice with the LXT. I noticed no difference in the LXT and the '12 Xeno, she hit with both and I decided to hit a few fly balls to the outfield with both bats. Sad to say but the '12 Xeno seemed to have a little more pop behind it after 1,000's of balls than the LXT. Nervous about opening the '14 Xeno since there was no 30 day promise, we went ahead and did so. Great decision, it had the pop, looks, and feel we were expecting. Welcome home Xeno. Sorry LXT, your headed back to where you came from. Since both bats did not have any reviews I really attempted to be open minded in my personal evaluation of the 2 new bats and the '12 Xeno.
Great Bat D.Carver
Pros: Lots of pop, looks great, it did not break after a week. We received this bat about a month ago as a One-X replacement. It was hot right out of the box. My 14U daughter was swinging a 2013 Xeno and loved it, but this is her new favorite bat. She has never hit the ball further than she does with this bat. I have hit fly balls with it and I noticed a 20+ feet difference hitting one handed. No vibration or sting and a great balanced feel.
Cons: None.
awesome bat dad
Pros: My daughter is 65 pounds thought the 30" 20 oz. would be too much but she swings it well and she loves it. It added 15 feet to distance.
Cons: none

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.
