Xeno vs Onex

[Brad Hasseld]

They are the same concept... the onex is composite discs where the xeno has aluminum discs inside the barrel. Both are good bats. For a contact hitter, these bats are both hot and could turn a infield grounder into a stand up double... big pop on the huge sweet spot

The One x does not have composite discs. I was at a softball convention in Louisville and had a discussion with a a LS rep, he said it was false advertising. The difference is how the handle is joined to the barrel. I hit with both bats myself and did not really notice a difference between the two.

So the slugger rep says slugger is false advertising?

X-e-n-o
O-n-e-x
Atleast they could have came up with a different name, they just wrote the name backwards for the new bat.

^^^ Watch for the 2014 Neox and the 2015 Xeon

So I just emailed LS and they responded that the discs are indeed composite. So I guess LS has a rep in the Louisville area that has no clue about his product. I'll just stick with the CF5.

Darling wife and I have had many discussions regarding DD's bat regarding their cost and their longevity. And once I broke it down as follows she's all in and I don't get the stink-eye any longer when a new bat arrives.

125 swings/contact per hitting lesson per week (front/side/tee work only - no machine)
+ 100 swings/contact 3 days a week working on her own at home
425 swings/contact per week
x 4 weeks
1700 swings/contact per month
x 12 months
20,400 swings/contact per year
/ $300 list price
Under $.02 per swing/contact

Puts a whole new meaning to getting your $.02 worth! Considering most, if not all, of us can find a deal that is less than retail, I am ok if a bat goes 'dead' after 20,000+ contacts and a new bat is needed. More importantly, so is darling wife!

RHC, Thanks for the back up on the composite facts... Brad had me questioning myself...

He'll, I'm questioning myself also. Guess the 10 plus years of my wife doing it finally rubbed off.

Just bought DD the 2013 Xeno in Dec. Have been told not to use it at the cages. Only use it with official softballs.
Is there truth to that? If so will it hold her back if she has to use a different bat (def not another $200 bat) between team practice and cages?
