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 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 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
