LS LXT vs Xeno? What’s the difference?

[KSfromKS]

DD has used both going back to 10u. She primarily uses her LXT now. Her all time favorite bat though is the 2016 Xeno. None of the bats she's tried, including the PC, Blue and DS Ghost, ane 2021 LXT, have measured up to that Xeno in her eyes.

The difference is they no longer make the Xeno.

That is 100% incorrect. They still make the Xeno. They just don't sell it through retailers anymore since last year's model came out.

My daughter just purchased one from a teammate that I swear it is a 2021. It is at least a 20. Teammate just decided it wasn’t for her. My daughter had great success in the Fall with it. First year college. That’s why I was asking. She tried an LXT before and didn’t like it but she definitely likes the Xeno. I was just wondering what the difference was because it does seem the LXT is more popular.

Xeno is a stiffer bat and maybe heavier(over sticker) I think.

Xeno is available on their website as a custom or special order item. and resulting full ride retail pricing.

Well I hope she’s flexible on a choice for her next bat.

Unless you pick the previous year model up on Black Friday sale that they run every year

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.

This is the same with my DD. Her first travel bat was a Xeno, and we have tried several others. I think on the rare perfect swing, perfect pitch combo, then the Xeno traveled further. But she hits a lot more consistent with LXT. Thats what her last couple have been. It seems the Xeno is stiffer, but the LXT has a larger sweet spot. Either way, they both have lasted until she sized up.

Xeno is definitely a stiffer connection, lxt is just a tad softer on connection, not sure if barrel is much different, . Older daughter loved her xeno, younger one liked lxt. Older daughter was much stronger and liked knowing when it was hit in the sweet spot, lxt flexed too much for her. Xeno lasted a long time also. Dont find that much anymore.
