SHAVED and ROLLED -- 2024 Louisville Slugger Xeno -9 Fastpitch Softball Bat. This is one of the best shaved fastpitch bats there is. Balanced swing weight with a little bit stiffer feel than the LXT. The Xeno favors more of the power vs contact hitter but is still a solid bat for all players. Recommended shave spec is level 1 for max performance / durability combination.
Featuring a stiff feel preferred by stronger high school and college players, the Louisville Slugger Xeno (-9) Fastpitch Bat offers a balanced swing weight, durable construction and game-ready performance out of the wrapper. Xeno uses a dual-disc composite barrel design to produce hard hits from the first swing without the need for a break-in period, and its two-piece construction helps advanced batters mash for extra bases.
- Dual-disc S1ID barrel -- Ready for in-game action right away, Xeno’s Performance Composite design centered around patented S1ID™ barrel technology completely eliminates the need for break-in time in the batting cage.
