Someone was calling baloney so I figured I’d chime in with real world (dated to 2014 and earlier LOL) first hand experience. Done right it’s amazing but should be considered a percentage of gain and not adding 60 ft to a check swing.
Info coming from talking with the people checking our teams...
Rolling the bat breaks the bat in essentially. You save time not having to put however many hundreds of swings on it. Completely legal.
Shaving (I used to liked having them end loaded too way back in mens league when I played) a bat can add massive distance. It’s why our girls 12u team had to...
My daughter really likes her LXT’s. She also really liked her previous 2020 Xeno. Both of those I would recommend with confidence. Still feels the Meta was the hottest out of the wrapper. You decide.
One time voucher for $450 on the Meta. Thought I could use the remaining $50 after putting the LXT in my “shopping cart” but their site will only allow it to be used on a single purchase.
TCS nationals and PGF Premier Nationals had very few Metas this year at the 12u level. The ones I saw were almost entirely slappers. Earlier in the year there were more. Such as my DD and another power hitter on the team. But they began to disappear as the year went on.
They are hot out of...
I’m not poor, but when I buy the best LS bat for 450$ I fully expect it to last more than a month. Especially with my then 12 year old daughter hitting.
LXT has been much better in spite of downgrading. The rep knew the Meta doesn’t hold up and I happily ate the $50.
Been a while. Both LXT’s are still holding up well. Only Meta left on the team (we are a Louisville/Wilson team) is used by a slapper. Pretty much what we saw in PGF premier at the 12 U level this year.
We have a 33 inch and 32 inch drop 10 Easton ghost advanced on the team currently. I refuse...
The pictures and videos I provided should be very relevant to this subject. I stand by my review of the bat as I documented. And I stand by having some fun.
Lunchables and sushi. I was hungry. Quick meal and a fragile bite. Hand in hand with current bat manufacturing. Quick satisfaction hot out of the wrapper. Used to have to shave a bat for it to last this little. And in mens league U trip we hit balls over 400’ regularly. Guys playing worlds and all.
Got two of them 2022. I know very well how far I’ve hit a ball in the past in mens league slow pitch. Not ready to swing knowing how many bats I’ve busted. But she is already breaking her own and making me proud
