    Cracked end cap - anyone fix these?

    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...

    Cracked end cap - anyone fix these?

    Ive been told cleaning up and using 3M, marine epoxy is the ticket for saving a bat to be used for practice or the cage.

    Cracked end cap - anyone fix these?

    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.

    In my opinion the topic had run its course. Two LXT bats latter and DD is two happy.

    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.

    Launchaball it’s the the best new sushi wrap.

    If the ghost didn't exist...

    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

    If the ghost didn't exist...

    Grey Ghost and 2020 Zeno didn’t break. But were dead and done due to the connection. Meta X hot out of the wrapper. But lasted like a ghost advanced. To the point I ate 50$ and moved on. Both replaced for an LXT. So far so good. An LXT is hard to beat.

    Louisville slugger finally came through and gave me a voucher code for $450. I ordered an LXT 33 drop 10 and ate it on the remaining $50. Her other 2022 LXT is breaking in very nicely. SawI no reason to go with a Metta X even if it is a little hotter out of the rapper with its questionable...

    I agree. My soon to be 13 year old gets more balls off the extreme end of the bat and hands. Consistency is coming around for sure. But still too many cringe worthy hard swings well off the end and hands. Her previous Zeno lived a hard life in that regard and the connection eventually gave up...

    Our head coach’s DD I previously spoke about says quite a few bats on her team broke during the season. D1 Rawlings team swinging Mantras. I imagine it happens quite a bit and we just don’t hear about it. She did say they use the same bat for everything. So it’s not like they had a BP bat and a...

    DD has an old 33-9 for BP and cage work. I’m not afraid of her swinging a drop nine against anyone but the harder throwers in her age division at the competitive tournaments. If the heavier drop weight is more durable I am all for it. Our only issue with the Metta is the question of durability.
