Awesome Bat! Rodney Frazier parent

Awesome bat!! Rodney Frazier coach
Pros: durable, has pop, hot out of the box, very well balanced. My daughter is 12, 5'5" weighs 135 - 140. She has been swinging the Louiville Slugger Xeno Plus 33 in 22 oz. -11 2016 model. The bat has been excellent, is still in great shape, and still has great pop. I just bought her the Louiville Slugger LXT 33 in 22 oz. -11 2018 model. I want her to experience both bats. I also read the reviews where it should help with bat speed. My daughter is excited and ready to usenit in a game. Our first tournament is March 3, can't wait to see how she does with it. So far in practice it has been great.
Cons: none

Pros: excellent bat
Cons: cost- but worth money
Overall great bat! Mike coach
Pros: This bat makes a big difference for young hitters. We had girls who could never hit to the outfield before this bat. Our girls are now regulary hitting line drives and fly ball to the outfield. Lots of pop off of this bat!
Cons: Durability might be an issue. I already noticed some chipping on the knob of the bat.
Good bat Zac Wallin parent
Pros: My daughter is a little on the small side physically which is why I went with the -11 LS LXT - Received the delivery days before the state tourney. Only a few buckets off the tee and right into live pitching. Good pop right out of the gate, My girl hit well all weekend and she helper her team to win her bracket in the State Tournament.
Cons: Not much - Weird sound is a little hard to get used to Durability rating - TBD to early to tell
No pop Allen Brereton Coach
Pros: None
Cons: No pop Waste of my money

Poppin out the package Horacio T. Parent

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.
