Best Balanced Bat in Drop 10 - 31/21

[ECU20012005]

My daughter is ready to move on from her Louisville Slugger X12 and her private coach thinks she needs a drop 10, but not to go towards an end loaded bat. That takes the Ghost Advanced and Mantra off the table. I think the LXT is balanced. Are there others to choose from? It seems the ones you mostly hear about are end loaded. I appreciate the insight.

Maybe thinking outside the box but the Anderson Rocketech Carbon is very balanced.

My dd loved her lxt before she fell for her ghost advanced. Prior to her lxt she swung a x12.

First off, the Ghost Advance is an evenly balanced bat as well. It's just heavier than sticker weight and also swings that way so it feels end-loaded but it isn't. Not true of the Mantra. The barrel weight is slid down the barrel towards the head so it would be considered end-loaded.
So, the top balanced bats are LS LXT, Demarini Meta, Mizuno Power Carbon, Easton Ghost Advance or double barrel, Marucci Echo and the Anderson Carbon.

Quick follow up. What is the difference between LXT and Xeno?

Xeno is heavier and end loaded. If she picks up the two she will definitely feel the difference.

Demarini CF very evenly balanced.

Demarini CF very evenly balanced.

Depends on which model. The CF Hope, CF7-8, Zen, etc. then yes. The older CF3-6 models, not so much.

Mizuno Power Carbon is a top tier bat! Best bang for the buck too
