Bat of Choice

[SB23]

What is the favorite bat in your area ? I hear certain manufacturers are more prominent based on geographical location

Anderson
Demarini - CF Series
Easton Mako Torq
Easton Mako
L/S XENO
L/S LXT
Miken
Worth

Two years ago I would have said Demarini or Xeno but Easton has come on real strong lately

(Couldn't figure out how to post a poll)

DD swings a Easton Mako - We are located on Long Island

NJ/Eastern PA, definitely the Xeno and LXT, followed by the CFs.

 

[Grogger31]

Connecticut - Demarini CF followed closely by L/S Xeno

 

[Jason Bohannon]

South Texas (Houston) Demarini CF

In southeast (team based in Georgia but we play in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida and even a bit in South Carolina) I see a lot of CF series, with Louisville distant second, and then Easton. Very few Worth and Anderson. Easton's will typically be Mako (have not seen a Torque in action yet) and some of the older Synergy's and Stealths. In fact, probably more older purple/white Stealths than all the Worth's combined.

This is for youngest daughters 10u age group. Her team is 10/12 CF series.

Last 18u team started out mainly Xenos/CF series and ended up almost all Makos. The team she's currently on is pretty even between Xeno/Mako/CF series. (DC Area)

Here it depends on the age groups but usually goes something like this:

10U - DeMarini CF
12U - DeMarini CF
14U - LS Xeno and LXT
16U - LS Xeno and LXT
18U - Whatever they'll be swinging in college

They Xeno is definitely making inroads in 10U and 12U, and I am going to go out on a limb here and say it is because of the introduction of the -11 Xeno for the 2015 model year. We're also seeing quite a few LXTs at 12U, as well, and I think that is also attributable to the -11 Xeno.

The Mako is still very sporadic and unless it's a sponsored club, it is rare that there is more than one on any team, and most don't have any.

If we see a Worth bat, it is definitely a one-off but I don't think I can remember the last time I saw one at a tourney since last year.

We don't see anything else.

We live real close to Louisville KY, and this area is big LS area. Xenos galore !

Our org is sponsored by LS so our 12U teams swings a lot of Xeno's and LXT's. A couple of our girls swing other bats. Other teams I've seen seem to be swinging a lot of DeMarini's and Xeno's. Occasionally you'll see something else, like a 2Legit, a Mako, or an Anderson. All of the Xeno's on our team are drop 10's. My daughter has both a 2014 32/22 Xeno and a 2015 32/22 LXT.

DD's school team is flooded with Easton Makos - over 50% of her team is swinging them -

Her travel team is 40A% - CF / 30% Easton Mako / 30% LS Xeno LXT
