YES, YES, YES Brittney player
Pros: This Xeno is amazing! I am absolutely crushing the ball. It is super hot without any break in. I love the balance and have yet to feel any sting. There is no better bat out right now!
Cons: Zero
Happy Dad Brett parent
Pros: You don't have to be super strong or big to swing this bat with speed. My daughter is crushing the ball and she is making it look so effortless with this drop 11 XENO. I would recommend this bat to any player/parent.
Cons: I still can't believe that I paid $300 for a bat but it was worth it to see my daughter's face.
Daughter Loves it already hit a home run with it!! Daughter Loves it parent
Pros: Great bat so far right out of box!
Cons: None yet
great bat. angela flyny coach
Pros: bought this bat at lunch and had a game that evening . my daughter got to swing it about 5 times before game. she got a single a double and a homerun. one was a great line drive. one was a outfield fly over third. this bat has great pop and reaction to the ball. love it. i will say that if you are going from a alummiim single bat to a double composite it has a different feel but she did great. and btw my daughter is 6.
Cons: none.
I'm in love hannah evans player
Pros: This bat is amazing! It has a great feel to it and all around just a better bat to hit with. I had the 2016 Xeno and it was a great bat as well but the pop was just starting to give out and I didn't realize until I used the new one. It's truly a good bat with some pop.
Cons: it has a lot of pop in it but not as much as everyone said it had. still love it though!
great bat mike parent
Pros: good pop, feel, 11 yr old daughter swinging it well.
Cons: none so far
Lousville XENO Michael Simon parent
Pros: Daughter loves the bat it took about thirty hits/swings for her to start getting used to its balance. Now she is killing the ball. When she tried out for All Stars, the coaches were all commenting to each other on how hard she was hitting the ball. The other girls couldn't field what she was hitting. She then hit the ball to the fence for an inside the park home run. She's all smiles and very confident now!
Cons: None so far
Good Bat But Not Sure if it's Worth the Price CS parent
Pros: Good feel, balance & pop.
Cons: Used twice and already have a chip out of the bat knob.
Excellent bat from the get go!! Spring Parent
Pros: Xeno for Christmas… She asked for this Xeno at the beginning of last year but I thought she'd like the LXT better and she did.. Best thing I could have done was give her this for Christmas. She was really shocked because she had said several time that she was very happy with the LXT and she no longer wanted the Xeno.. That was until she took the Xeno out now the LXT is a back up..
Cons: None

Is there a break in period for the 2018 XENO -10? Just purchased for my daughter a week ago and she just used it in a tournament this past weekend, and for what ever reason, it didn't sound right and she has lost her power and the bat sounds dead. Hitting coach even stated it sounds dead when the bat makes contact with the ball. I tried hitting a ball over the fence (200 ft). and couldn't. Her DeMarini sent them over the fence and in the woods! Reviews were great so i bought it. Confused, concerned, and disappointed. Concerned Dad

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.
