The Xeno and DeMarini CF Zen are similar in price and target power hitters with their stiff, two-piece composite builds. However, the CF Zen might offer a slightly softer swing feel due to its technology, while user reviews suggest it delivers a touch more pop. The Easton Ghost stands out for its lighter swing weight, ideal for younger players, but its price tag is typically higher and its technology focuses more on a balanced swing compared to the Xeno's pure power emphasis.
Progression of the Louisville Slugger Xeno Softball Bats
The Xeno has been a great bat since 2015 and has not changed in several years. There are slight upgrades each year to utilize lighter and stronger materials in the barrel construction.
| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| Great pop and durability from this bat. Highly recommend. |
| My daughter's team absolutely loves this bat. Every kid is using it. |
| The pop is back! The old ones were a little flat but I love this new model. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| The bat broke in half in batting practice two weeks after purchasing. I have concerns about the durability. |
| I loved this bat but then I made contact with the sweet spot and the bat snapped in half. |
| Too expensive. I’d like something with greater pop. |
The composite barrel is designed to be hot out of the wrapper, meaning you don't need a long break-in period to start launching bombs. The large sweet spot also helps ensure that even mis-hits tend to jump off the bat. The stiff feel might not be for everyone. Younger players or those who struggle with bat control might find the Xeno a bit too unforgiving. Additionally, some kids mentioned a slight drop-off in bat control compared to some other balanced bats.
