Description
The Louisville Slugger Xeno X18 softball bats are new for the season! One of the most popular and highly regarded names in fastpitch is back with a vengeance and better than ever. Being the best softball bat in the business did not satisfy Louisville Slugger because they went to work and improved on an already masterful design in the XENO. The newest feature that sets this year apart from previous models is the insanely lightweight X-Cap that is guaranteed to improve swing speed, increase barrel length, and maximize an already massive sweet spot. These two-piece, 100% composite softball bats are forged together by the patented IST technology that provides exceptional energy transfer with virtually zero negative feedback in the hands. On one end, the S1ID barrel technology is back and will continue to provide superior performance right out of the wrapper. On the other end, a standard 7/8 inch fastpitch handle comes pre-wrapped with a synthetic comfort bat grip to help reduce vibration and enhance the overall feel. Louisville Slugger: The Most Trusted Name In Fastpitch!

2018 Drop 10 XENO Pete parent
Pros: Balanced. Essentially no break in period. No complaints of sting in the hands after about 10 games. Batting over .300 with 4 home runs. This thing is a beast. Add to cart... you won't regret it.
Cons: Zero. Zip. Nada. Zilch. Nothing.
2018 Xeno Whit player
Pros: Bat feels good and is weighted very well. Sweet spot is very big and the bat is very forgiving when you miss the sweet spot.
Cons: It took about 100+ hits to break it in where it felt like it had as much pop as the 2017 model.
softball bat lakisha shorty player
Pros: awesome bat... hit two dingers right of the bat... love it!!!
Cons: everything great about this bat.
Good stick Bryan parent
Pros: My daughter hit this bat and the Easton Ghost in hittrax at a demo. Her average exit velo was the same with both bats. She said the sweet spot felt bigger on the Xeno and overall it had a better feel. We went in with intentions of buying the Ghost and walked out with the Xeno instead. Great pop, great feel and when you square a ball up, the sound turns heads.
Cons: None so far
Xeno love!! MEL parent
Pros: Awesome pop, didn't feel like we needed to break it in!! Colors are great! Giving my 10 yr old daughter lots of confidence!! The ball seriously flys off the bat!!
Cons: Maybe price but you pay for what you get and this bat is AWESOME!!!

My granddaughter wonders if there is one side of the bat to hit on or can she hit the ball all around the bat? The girls on her travel team were wondering. We have had 3 XENO bats just got the 2018. jim
I was wondering why LS changed the end cap on the XENO 2018. I've owned several XENO bats (2014 - 2017 versions). I had to get a replacement bat because my 2017 broke and the only one available was the 2018 in the 33"/23 oz size. The past XENOs have a distinct sound when you hit. I noticed the 2018 does not sound the same. Is this because of the change in the end cap? Jules14

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.
