Description Louisville Slugger LXT -8 Fastpitch Softball Bat: WBL2545010 Reach for a drop 8 LXT Fastpitch Bat if you feel as though you have the skills to wield a bat that is a little heavier up at the dish! Bat Benefits The LXT is going to be a three-piece bat that serious fastpitch players will want in their hands when they are up at the dish in a crucial situation. It is a three-piece bat that is made up of (1) a composite barrel, (2) a composite handle & (3) a connector piece. The barrel is going to feature the Speed Composite Design and the signature piece of that design is the Single-Disc PBF Technology. That tech allows for an extra-long sweetspot that should reach closer to the connector piece and closer to the end-cap. However, even though the sweetspot is quite lengthy, the balance point of the bat should not be thrown off and result in the bat's barrel feeling too heavy. Also, be certain not to gloss over the VCX2 Connector Piece that allows for independent movement between the barrel and handle. Due to that feature of the connector piece, it should allow for this LXT to display a very comfortable swinging experience. This drop 8 will be a heavy bat to swing. However, the weight on the bat should be distributed fairly evenly across the entire length of it. The thing that will make it feel heavier is that there will be a couple more ounces on this bat when compared to the extremely popular drop 10 size that many ladies are using. This drop 8 bat will be one that gets used by highly skilled hitters and power hitters.
