Louisville Slugger RXT Softball Bats

Swing for the fences with the Louisville Slugger RXT Fastpitch Softball Bat. This top-of-the-line bat caters to serious fastpitch hitters with its innovative three-piece composite design. The key to its performance lies in the fusion of two legendary technologies: the LXT's stiff-hitting feel for power and the Xeno's massive sweet spot for forgiveness. This translates into a bat that delivers a solid connection on every swing, while also minimizing vibration and maximizing power potential. The RXT also features a balanced swing weight for exceptional control, allowing you to generate explosive power with precision.

Perfect bat for:
Fastpitch players looking to dominate the competition with a powerful and controlled swing.

Key features include:

Blend of TechnologiesCombines technologies from two of Louisville Slugger's best-selling fastpitch bats, the LXT and the Xeno, for optimized performance.
Springload Connection SystemThis two-piece design creates a responsive feel on contact and improves the transfer of energy through the swing.
Single-Disc HVR-1 BarrelProvides a large sweet spot for consistent contact and power even on off-center hits. The HVR-1 technology refers to a specific composite material used in barrel construction.
COPA Performance End CapWorks in conjunction with the barrel design to maximize the sweet spot and create a more forgiving experience on mishits.
Balanced Swing WeightDistributes weight evenly throughout the bat, offering a controlled swing that's ideal for both power hitters and contact hitters.
Multiple Drop Weight OptionsComes in various drop weights, allowing players to choose a bat that best suits their swing speed and strength preferences.
LS Pro Comfort GripProvides increased tack and cushion for better feel and control during the swing.

Top Competitors

All three are multi-piece composite bats with a large sweet spot. The Louisville Slugger RXT prioritizes pure power with its stiff LXT technology and balanced swing weight, ideal for those who can handle a stiffer bat. The DeMarini CF Zen offers a similar power potential with a potentially softer swing feel thanks to its technology, making it a good option for players who prefer more control. The Easton Ghost X caters to players who want power but also prioritize a lighter swing weight for better control.

Progression of the Louisville Slugger RXT Softball Bats

The 2020 RXT came after the short-lived PXT. The PXT featured a stiffer feel with a heavy swing weight which made it unpopular.

👍 Pros
Daughter took it out of the box and immediately went to the tee with it. She loves it. Pops right out of the box.
Swings effortlessly and is balanced. My daughter has gotten her swing form back on track. Excited to see her close the fall season with this bat.
Great bat for softball. Bought for my highschool aged daughter and she absolutely loves it.
👎 Cons
The area by the handle and barrel wobbles and is loose. Very disappointing.
After one season of softball and practices, the bat is now unusable. The internals of the bat has become separated and considered broken.
Feels lighter than the weight listed, no pop out of the wrapper. I’m going back to the Ghost.
The RXT is a solid all-around performer for fastpitch softball players. The balanced swing weight is ideal for developing hitters who are still refining their mechanics. The large sweet spot allows for consistent contact and line drives. While not exclusively a power hitter's bat, the pop can be surprising. With a focus on bat control and a strong swing, the RXT can still help power hitters clear the fences.
