Not impressed so far... Mason parent
Pros: Good looking graphics
Cons: Appears to have very little pop out of the wrapper. Bat also feels heavier than the 2017 LXT 31/21 that my daughter has been swinging. And yes both are the same advertised weight. I think that I am going to return if (if I can) and go buy another 2016 or 2017 LXT...very disappointed. I have purchased 6 Louisville Sluggers (Xeno and LXT) and this one appears to be the weakest of the bunch.
Great Bat! CoachP53 coach
Pros: The new PXT from slugger is not only a beautiful product, but it has the performance to back it up. This bat, as stated, is designed for elite players that can generate enough bat speed to get the most out of this new barrel design. Players on my daughters team range from speedy slappers, to on base liners, to power hitters. The players who hit for power, my daughter included, are seeing greater distance out of this product compared with their LXT and Xeno models. Average bat speed hitters are seeing equal performance during tee work, but at game speeds are really seeing this bat open up. The design of this bat isn't going to yield amazing results when hitting off a tee or doing front toss drills...this bat shows its true glory when the ball starts coming in hot, just like in a game. I have no doubt this product will be a winner this year!
Cons: Softer swinging players on our team are not getting as much performance as our stronger hitters.
Boom stick Sarah22 player
Pros: Good pop. Big sweet spot. Nice new design by Louisville Slugger for 2018.
Cons: none
disappointment Softball mom 31 parent
Pros: pretty bat
Cons: it has to be broken in. thought i got a good deal went from hitting 10 HR to none so far.
Great Bat E22 parent
Pros: Bought this bat a few weeks ago. At first we thought there may be a problem because we expected the same "out of the wrapper" explosion that we had from the 2016 LXT. There is a break in period. My daughter is a power hitter and just put her 4th over the fence this past weekend since she started hitting with this bat and we are just now starting to hear a consistent pop/crack instead of a dull thud. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because, as with her LXT, I feel the wrap on the handle should be higher quality. The PXT is already showing wear and she's only had it a short time. Granted, she doesn't use batting gloves so maybe holding it a bit tighter is causing some of the problem, but still, for the price, I feel a higher quality wrap should be used. Other than that very small issue, the bat is awesome!! Highly recommend!!
Cons: Grip
Great Purchase Mike M coach
Pros: Daughter is 12yrs old and has been working with a batting coach. From the start we could hear and she could feel the difference. The PXT has great pop and a large sweet spot. There is a noticeable difference in the speed of the ball off her bat and we are very much looking forward to the fall season with the PXT bat. After her first game with the new bat, multiple parents/players were asking to borrow her bat because they could notice the difference in the exit speed of the ball.
Cons: We were looking for a -11 because of her size, but went with the -10 and just having her choke up and keep working on her strength. Otherwise we are very happy with the PXT.
WOW! jenniefromdablock99 player
Pros: Amazing pop and feel. Great graphics. So far so good on the durability. I love this bat.
Cons: none so far
Major Improvement EGLD97 parent
Pros: Using the PXT, my daughter was able to take her year over year slugging % from .349 to .568 Perfect weight and performance for her swing and body size. Once broken in properly, it has a lot of pop! Overall, very happy with this bat!!
Cons: Bat performance is not there out of the wrapper. This bat requires a significant amount of break in to get it game ready. Not sure why they can't put a quality grip on a $400 bat? Grip wore out quickly and had to be replaced.

Pros: The ball travel much better
Cons: None
GREAT BAT! Joe Mendoza parent
Pros: This bat has AMAZING POP!! Definitely designed for POWER HITTERS! Once this bat makes contact, the ball flies off the barrel and its still not broken in!! My daughters been swinging a LXT -9 and this PXT -10 has a totally different sound and POP! Deffinately recommend this bat to anyone at the higher levels!
Cons: None
Top Performer CoachMiner555 coach
Pros: We tested this bat with a bunch of other sluggers, demarinis, Ghost and Quattros and this was our favorite performer. All bats were provided by our local dealer and were fully broken in. Sound wise this thing had a great ring to it and feel wise it was the best reducer of sting in the group. Majority of our girls went with this bat with a few opting for the -11 deMarini and one girl liked the Ghost. Our team is a Slugger team and that is what we see at most fields, so you know it's good.
Cons: none
Dad Todd parent
Pros: Good looking bat
Cons: My daughter is 16 and a power hitter and has always loved her LXT bats. She has broke 3 of them mainly from over use. She tried the PXT and does not like it. Went back to LXT. We are going to sell the PXT.
Not a safe purchase Dan coach
Pros: Great looking bat (Looks don't improve average or power). It has good feel. Pop is pro and con. Great pop if you hit the small sweet spot.
Cons: Very inconsistent bat to bat. Im a fairly high level hitting coach. I have had 4 different players in with this bat and all 4 bats acted completely different. One completely dead, one mostly dead the shattered, 2 with great pop on a tiny sweet spot. If you hit the sweet spot it will go a long ways but hard to find it. For the money stick with the safer LXT, Xeno, or go to Demarini CF series.
It hits like a 2x4 Coach Mike coach
Pros: None
Cons: Waste of money, daughter hates it. I've even hit with it in practice and it feel like your hitting with a 2x4 JUNK!
phenomenal Mackenzie Player
Pros: The bat has amazing pop I've been swinging it in practice and it sounds great, overall it's a good choice of purchase.
Cons: Bat seems a little bit heavier than other bats I've used in the past, you have to be a strong hitter the weaker hitters will not be able to drive as easy.
Girl time Roger Webb Parent
Pros: Indorced for softball league
Cons: None noted
Loving it!!! Dee Parent
Pros: Awesome
Cons: None
Power Hitters Only S. St. Martin Parent
Pros: This is an outstanding bat for a power hitter. Since purchase date, my daughter has approximately 13 out of the park homeruns between scrimmages and practices. Please ask yourself if the person this bat is intended for is a power hitter. If they're not I recommend the Xeno. Last year we had great results with the Louisville Slugger Xeno, however, as she grows taller(5'11) and stronger we adjust.
Cons: No cons!
Very nice Ray Player
Pros: Once broken in it has amazing pop and it looks really good.
Cons: Takes a while to break in.
Great bat April M. Parent
Pros: Nice sweet spot and pop off the bat
Cons: None!
Good Bat Brooklyn Scragg Player
Pros: Colors and the pop
Cons: Nothing
Bats McKaylee Pittman Coach
Pros: I has great pop so far.
Cons: Nothing so far
Great Bat Erica Powers Parent
Pros: Good pop
Cons: None
No Pop Ray Parent
Pros: Looks
Cons: No pop to this bat. My daughter switched from a Demarini CF-8 to this PXT. She went 2/3 way thru the high school season and said to me, this bat has no pop. So we did a bucket of balls with this bat, then back to her Demarini. On average, the balls went 30 feet further in the air with her older used up Demarini bat. Maybe we got a lemon, but I would not buy this bat.

How long would it take for the 30/20 PXT to ship to Missouri, and do you have one in stock? Steve
What is the major difference between this bat and the LXT? Dave S
What would you consider a sufficient amount of break in time for the PXT? We're half way through the high school season. Would it do any good to use it this season? mike
Would a 10 or 11 year old have a strong enough swing to benefit from the PXT or is the LXT more age appropriate? Brown
One of the answers to a question about the PXT bat is that the PXT bat has an end-loaded swing weight. Is that also true for the LXT bat? Jason
We have been DeMarini for years. Wanting to try something new. What size would my 11 year old need if she is 4'5 70 pounds? She hits with a 30 19 oz now. Charissa Robison
Trying to decide between the LXT and the PXT 33/-9. My daughter is a freshman in college playing ball. Thoughts? She hits for average not for power. DLC
My daughter is 16 about 5"5' 130lbs. She has never been considered a power hitter, but does hit the ball hard with the 32/22 LXT. Would the PXT help her at all with power? What are you thoughts? Hud2019
My daughter had been swinging a DeMarini since 8U, about to start 12U, and looking into switching over to Louisville. She swings a 28'17 oz end load as of now, and coach is saying its too small for her 4'7' height at 70 lbs. What size bat would you recommend, and would you go with either the Xeno, LXT, or PXT (PXT preferred )? Rob K.
My daughter will turn 14 in September; she is 5'2" tall and weighs 130 lbs. She is playing on a 16U team. I have been looking at the PTX bat. Would it be best to get the 32" bat for her? deer slayer
My daughter is 5'7" 110 lbs and entering high school. Currently using an Easton Fs3 Torq in 32'' 20oz. I think its time to move her up in size and quality. She can hit for power and gets her hands through the zone quickly. Can one hop balls off 200' fences consistently. Her biggest issue is not getting her hands rolled over at contact. Considering trying out an end weighted bat like the Insane or PXT to see if the feel helps her complete her swing. What do you think and what size should she go with? Allen
My daughter plays 14U. She is 13 years old, 4"10-1/2' and weighs 126 lbs. She used a LXT 30' 20 oz. until it lost its pop, now she is using a Stealth 33' 22 oz. and doing okay. Wanting to go back to a Slugger, what would you suggest? concerned dad
What's the difference in -8 and -10? Is the -10 better for power hitters? Is the PXT the best Louisville Slugger bat? RONELL
What would be the best bat for my daughter? She is 5’5'' and weighs about 165-170. She is a power hitter. She has a Demarini CF8 slapper now in a 33/22. I am looking at purchasing her a Louisville. Which one would you suggest? Or would you suggest another bat for her? Dee
How does this bat compare with the DeMarini CFX 2018. Debating between the two for may daughter. 12 years old, 5'9" 130lbs. More of a power hitter but can slap as well. Not sure which route to go. Eric M
What is the difference between the LXT and this bat (PXT)? Scott
My daughter is almost 11 and she uses and loves her Easton Ghost 30"/20 oz and uses it well for how small she is. I want to get her an alternative to try and keep on hand that she will also love. I think the PXT maybe but not sure between the PXT, LXT, or Xeno. What do you think? Tyler
My daughter is 16 and a sophomore. She is 6'2" and is a power hitter. We go through 2 LXTs every year. She currently uses a 33 drop 10. Will the PXT slow down her swing speed? Is the PXT more durable than the LXT? Which bat would you recommend. Gary Pfundt
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.
