LS LXT vs Xeno? What’s the difference?

I know this had to have been discussed before. I just can’t find it. I tried.

Both excellent bats. Feel (balance point) is slightly different.

Xeno vs. LXT

Xeno states extreme power, maximum pop. LXT states ultimate balance maximum pop. I know that one is 2-piece the other is 3-piece. Is the Xeno better since its extreme power? Was looking at both of these bats not sure which one to consider. What are benefits of each bat?

DD has been swinging a Xeno for a few years (one of the few I see around here..) and likes it. She hasn't tried an LXT though...

Both are great bats...DD used both extensively. Both have good "pop", but my sense was that the LXT was more balanced and had a bigger "sweet spot". She hit well with the Xeno, but she hit harder more consistently and a bit deeper with the LXT.

DD has swung both and had a different experience then Strike2. I thought Xeno hit harder when she hit the sweet spot. She like them both but like the more balanced feel of the LTX and she hit more consistently with it.

Honestly I do not think you can go wrong with either one.

When I have weighed these bats the Xeno has been 1-1.5 oz heavier than their stated weight and the LXT almost right on maybe a bit heavier. That by itself could be why the LXT feels more balanced. Has anyone else seen this with these bats?

Yes, I have.

Most bats are not on sticker. If you look at the bat database...you can get an idea of weights. Xenos have always been more than an ounce
over

DD swung a Xeno since 10U. This fall, her junior year in college, she finally tried an LXT. She switched.
