Obviously I know nothing, but I would be very surprised if the Xeno went away. Not only because LS has always been loyal to its core brands, but the Xeno is extremely popular and is one of the rare 'stiff' bats around. Those that like a certain feel, if the stiffer feel is what you like, there is really no big national brand alternative that I am aware of. I do consider the Ghost a flex bat btw.
Now that it’ll be direct only that’s a lot of margin they get to keep as well.
As long as LS keeps selling to projections every year it’ll stick around. A popular bat that they don’t need to redesign every 3 years? That’s a lot of revenue keep for LS. Now that it’ll be direct only that’s a lot of margin they get to keep as well.
