Pros: This bat is amazing! Not very well known in the softball world but right out of the wrapper my daughter hit a home run over center fence in 18gold travel showcase. No vibration and no break in period. She hit nothing but line drives and doubles all week. Best buy in a long time.

Cons: nothing

New for 2012! Last season, Louisville Slugger revolutionized the game by introducing the HOTTEST bat ever to hit fastpitch softball, the TPS XENO! The XENO received glowing reviews from players that used it, however it remained somewhat of a well-kept secret. Not anymore. Louisville Slugger has revamped the XENO with the expectation that this will be THE bat to own this season. The reason the XENO is so hot lies in what Louisville Slugger calls S1 iD Technology. This technology actually allows the barrel to be tuned to exceed the legal ball exit speed ratio. The catch is that a governor is placed inside that allows the barrel to flex to its MAXIMUM allowable performance from SWING 1. The XENO is made from Louisville Slugger's innovative new LS 2X Composite, yet due to the S1 iD technology, it needs ABSOLUTELY ZERO BREAK-IN! The XENO features an iST design that gives this bat a solid connection between the barrel and handle. iST provides players a bat with a solid feel and HUGE sweetspot, while absorbing vibrations from mis-hit balls before they reach the hands. With a tacky synthetic grip and a 7/8 inch handle, the XENO will give players absolute control at the plate. If you are a fastpitch player looking for THE top-of-the-line bat this season, look no furthur than the TPS XENO! Louisville Slugger: Feel The Power! The XENO is approved by ASA, USSSA, NSA, ISA and ISF. This bat comes with a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Pros: Great Power, No vibration - the antivibration claim is for real, 5-6 on my first weekend with the bat, two singles, two doubles, and a triple. I was a lttle worried about a heavier bat, but it is easy to get around with it's weight loading. I LOVE this bat.

Cons: Grip started to come loose at the top, but was easily fixed with some athletic tape.

Pros: Broke my Demarini in a tournament and used this bat from one of my team mates. Went 3 for 3 and loved it so much, purchased my own. Since using this bat, I'm batting 733 (11 out of 15) with multiple RBI's and 2 game winning hits in a highly competitive and state recognized district in Texas. Would highly recommend.

Cons: None

Pros: My 13 year old daughter loves the power and no vibration/sting on her hands. She hit the top of the left field fence during her first tourney using it. If the wind wasn't blowing out of left field it would have been over. Amazing bat!

Cons: Now the whole team wants to use it!

by Equilizer - May 10, 2012

Pros: Nice colors. Looks aggressive. Daughter used this bat. Hit hard grounders and line outs. 0-10 but all solid shots. I just love how other reviewers express how their daughter hit 4 monster shots in only 3 ABs. C'mon now?

Cons: Limited sizes

Pros: Bat was great but went flat after 4 months.

Cons: Louisville slugger really didn't seem to care that this happened in the heart of my daughters season. The warranty process is going to take up to 3 weeks. Leaving my daughter with a bat. Poor customer service
