#1 collegiate bat

The Xeno is arguably the most popular bat in collegiate softball. It certainly was the #1 bat at last season's Women’s College World Series.

“The team seems to like this bat better than the ones in the past,” notes Head Coach Juli Greep. “It has broken in very quickly and has great bat control and pop.” 


S1iD Technology
 
Louisville Slugger marketing claims the bat's “pop” is from their “S1iD Technology” that allows the barrel to flex to its MAXIMUM allowable performance and actually exceed the legal ball exit speed ratio.

iST Technology

The Xeno brand also boasts of a “iST design” that connects barrel and handle for strong solid feel, creating a greater sweet spot as well as the ability to absorb more vibrations before 
reaching a player's hands.

“I'm j
ust such a super fan of Louisville,” adds Coach Greep. “I'm not sure we will ever swing anything else.”
