DD still has a few more years of travel ball (2017 grad) before she steps foot on college. DD is a Xeno girl. The college she verballed to uses Worth. Getting the itch to buy her another bat since she's down to just one bat in her bat bag. Yes redhotcoach, she only has ONE bat!!! All her old bats were either sold or donated. So... buy her yet another Xeno? Give the LXT a try? Or start getting her used to Worth right now?? Those of you who have been thru this - did you make the switch right away after your DD verballed?

Schools change sponsorships frequently don't they? I still think you should have more than one... I don't know how she verballed with only one bat!;)

When DD was on her unofficial visit, the coach went out of her way to mention how happy she was with the equipment deal, so I really don't think the sponsorship is likely to change. Obviously I could be wrong!!

Gotta get her into a 2legit!
My DD went yard instantly with it. Crazy hot bat!

That's the one I am contemplating buying... keep hearing that it's very hot but very fragile. But then again we've heard that for years with the Xeno. Is the 2Legit at all similar to the Xeno in feel? as you know DD tried a one piece Legit and wasn't happy with it, but perhaps the 2Legit would be more her speed. There's just no place around here to demo a Worth bat.

Speaking of Xenos...True or False...do they really go dead after awhile. Most say composites get hotter the longer you use them but I've heard that Xenos just go dead at some point...I don't believe it though. DD said she wouldn't mind trying one and I've seen them really cheap used. She absolutely hates the way they sound though (mainly inside the warehouse we practice at sometimes)

Colleges change equipment sponsors frequently. I would hold off unless she needs a new bat. My dd got her bat after she verballed and has a 2Legit and loves it. The college my dd is going to is a LS school. Xeno's and LXT's....... I'm just letting it ride until she gets there. Her backup bat is a Synergy SCN1B.

You get a 30 day demo with Worth I believe. Buy it, use it, and if you don't like it send it back.

The 2Legit feels much different than the Xeno. It has a heavier but smooth feel. The sweet spot is a tad smaller.

Was exactly in your shoes a year ago except my DD was always a CF-lover:

- We got DD a Worth FPSICK - it rattled and stung her hands off - sold the FPSICK
- We got a 2Legit - "Dad, this one is soooooo much heavier than my CF..." - Kept the 2Legit but never saw action
- Just before DD went off to college the coach changes and away goes the Worth contract. - Sold the 2Legit.
- New coach has LS bats for the team - something I never thought I would see - DD LOVES the LXT. (she would always bad-mouth the Xeno's)


I would recommend that - since college girls take sooooooo many swings before their first Spring game - let her keep going with the bat she loves.
