Too Much Pop for Small Ball Texas Softball's Finest parent
Pros: Purchased bat for daughter for the transition from coach pitch (8U) to player pitch (10U). Daughter has learned how to be a very effective slapper with every dimension. When she bunts with the Xeno, the ball goes much much further than she wants and is a medium grounder versus a true bunt. When she swings away, she absolutely love it!
Cons: Too many teammates want to use it!!!!
Better than 2014 Texas SB Dad parent
Pros: Great Pop Feels lighter than it is My girls have used the the 2013 and 2014 models of the Xeno and LXT. In my opinion, the 2015 Xeno is the best so far.
Cons: Grip Tape: the grip is fine but every Louisville bat we have owned ends up needing new tape to hold the grip within a pretty short time frame.
I LOVE THIS BAT!! Jenna player
Pros: Has a very good pop to it & the ball travels pretty far. Experienced batting from both sides, it is very light which is great for a slapper like me. You literally can't feel when the ball hits the barrel. The grip is very good as well.
Cons: I got nothing bad to say
Best Bat I've Ever Used!!! Sunny player
Pros: This bat has great pop, it doesn't sting when you hit encap! Second hit I ever hit with the bat it hit the fence! I'm in love with this bat!
Cons: I haven't had any yet

Great Bat!! Ramiro Ramos parent

GREAT BAT Drew Puckett player
Pros: very good pop! Test best bat I have purchased . It does not easily break and the paint stays on the bat very well. Overall a excellent bat! Very Happy
Cons: it is not have as good of a pop in cold weather but that is normally typical for all bats. Really there is not many things wrong with it
?????????? kaylon dunn player
Pros: the best bat! ive never felt the pop of the ball off the bat so well!
Cons: i didnt find it sooner
Got plunked by Louisville Rhonda oakey parent
Pros: We bought the 2014. At the end of our season during fall & winter practices, we noticed the end cap was coming off. Still under warranty, sent it back to Louisville. 18 u player Worked nicely for 2 weeks. Played 3 games. Homer in the 2nd game. Bat broke in the 3rd. My daughter was very disappointed. Upon the inspection of the broken bat we noticed an "R" stamped on the end cap. It wasn't a pattern it was random. We assume they sent us a poor quality bat. It is disappointing to fork out all this cash and put a lot into effort towards a game and have a highly recognized company send us a rejected or returned bat. She wants same 1 but should I fork out another 400 to a company who do not make quality products.: (. My daughter is also a catcher & huge fan of Busyer Posey , whom is an endorser of your products. : (
Cons: Bat broke after a couple weeks we got ripped off.
coach M coach M parent
Pros: 13 year old loves the bat!
Cons: color ok
its a nice bat jessi alcala player
Pros: has pop from the first day you use it to the last
Cons: grip is not very durable
Falling apart after 2 weeks Disapointed parent
Pros: None so far.
Cons: Last years model was great. This years 2015 model not so good. The end cap is separating from the barrel and the center rubber ring has a bevel in it. This should not happen after just 2 weeks.
Broke in half within 2 weeks Matt S. player
Pros: None
Cons: I play men's fast pitch. This bat was used only a handful of times (34/24 model) and literally broke in half at the 2-piece connection within two weeks of receiving it. L.S. is replacing under warranty, but I definitely won't be purchasing anything from L.S. again. Not only that, but that bat didn't seem to have much pop anyways.
Was hoping for more CoachBroker coach
Pros: The bat has held up well and has been a good bat but I was really expecting it to be better. My daughter used DeMarinis prior to getting this bat and has always had big hits to the fence in 10u. I bought this bat at Christmas and was thinking that it would produce even bigger hits. After coming to the conclusion that her dropping batting average and fewer big hits might actually be the bat (also noticed big hits when she used her CF6 on occasion) she went back to her old bat and began crushing the ball again. I was concerned about the durability but this bat has held up well. I just don't think she swings it as well as a truly balanced bat. Seems to be a great bat for some girls, just not my kid.
Cons: Very end loaded for a "Balanced" bat. The weight seems much heavier than the advertised weight. Did not have the pop I was expecting out of this bat which really shocks me to say.
awesome bat nicole parent
Pros: mu daughter loves the feel. She said it is lighter than the 2014 and easier to swing.
Cons: she hasnt found any yet, except that she has to put colored tape to identify her bat.
Dead within the first 4 months Elizabeth player
Pros: Despite how short-lived my bat was, it did help me with a few good hits. I also like the design and the outer structure of the bat.
Cons: Many people say that this is a fantastic, durable, long-lasting bat. Yet, the first four months of my purchase, my coach had declared my bat dead. It was safe to say I was extremely dissapointed.
Lots of pop Jamee coach
Pros: My daughter is a first year 10u . I moved her up up from-12 to -11 and she loves this bat. Lots of pop and She loves the slightly end loaded feel. I will buy her -10 xeno this January for her 2nd year 10u maybe even spend a little xtra for the xlt.
Cons: Bat broke after 2 weeks. Louisville had a new bat to me in 8 days. Hopefully this one will last a bit. It's been 2 months and 8 tourneys and no problems.

simply WOW! Juan Rodriguez coach
Pros: I've coaches u10 softball for awhile and since this bat has come into the market you honestly have to coach and put this bat into the equation whether its offense or defense. so I bought it for my daughter. Great bat! She loves it. Simple as that. JustBats customer service is incomparable.
Cons: no cons. Having a distributer like just bats just makes this bat better.

great but Emily player
Pros: amazing pop. didn't even need to break it in.
Cons: My parents bought the bat for me last year and about exactly a year later the bat broke. The barrel shakes when I swing the bat. We sent it back to L.S. and they claim it is not broken.
overall a great bat! Amylia player
Pros: great bat for travel softball. Light and easy to swing.
Cons: I purchased mine last year in January 2015, it was great for a whole season. However,I was using it for indoor softball, it started making a strange sound in one place of the bat and wouldn't hit the ball as it had for the previous season.
This bat is my Favorite! Amanda Rivera player
Pros: Perfect weight and helps my swinging.
Cons: I dont have any!

About the Brand
In 1842, J. Frederick Hillerich emigrated with his family from Baden-Baden, Germany to the United States. Eight years before, the 1834 Book of Sports had made its debut as the nation's first publication covering baseball. But when he arrived in Baltimore, J. Frederick Hillerich would never have dreamed of the future impact his family would have on America's favorite pastime.
After a short while, the Hillerichs moved to Louisville, where J. Fred started a woodworking shop in 1856. Two of his sons, Adam and John Andrew "Bud" were born in the United States and would later join their father in his business. By 1864 "J.F. Hillerich, Job Turning" was in operation and filled orders for businesses by custom-turning everything from balusters to bedposts.
The firm thrived, and by 1875 the little woodworking shop employed about 20 people. In 1880 Bud Hillerich, who was an amateur baseball player, became an apprentice in his father's shop. Young Bud made his own baseball bats along with bats for several of his teammates.
The debate over the origins of the first bat continues to generate controversy among baseball enthusiasts, but the younger Hillerich was most certainly involved in getting his father's business involved with what would become the company's signature item. According to company legend, the first bat was turned by Bud for Pete "The Old Gladiator" Browning in 1884. Browning was a star on Louisville's professional American Association team - the Eclipse. On a spring afternoon Bud, then seventeen, witnessed Browning break his favorite bat. Bud offered to make a bat for his hero, and Browning accepted. After the young wood shop apprentice lathed a quality stick from white ash, according to the story, Browning got three hits with it in the next game.
Louisville Slugger gloves are worn by more pitchers in Major League Baseball than any other glove.
