Gonna guess noises/rattles...but im just guessing because I like to play guessing games
Noises? I bought the damn thing because it's loud!
Many times these inner discs bats can rattle when you shake them...nothing wrong with the bat, just
umps are taught to toss anything. But they aren't taught what is normal and isn't. So they do what they are
told.
But again, just playing the guessing game here to keep me occupied this morning. I could be wrong on why he
tossed them.
Haha! I interpreted that completely differently. I thought he meant he threw more LXT's back towards the dugout than any other bat (meaning he just saw more LTX's than any other as an ump). But now I see tossed could very well mean threw out.
Anyway, I bought my daughter a 2019 LTX about a month ago for under $200 on cheapbats.com. Not sure if they are still discounted. Depending on size, I the 2019's are all around $200-250.

Since you mentioned Core, I'm sure he would be happy to sell you a PC. You won't need an LXT then

MIB is an ump, so I always assume the negative when he posts something if there is an option to pick from...hahaha

Simple answer: Better aerodynamics.
Not the most common bat, but common.
I won't dispute what Core said about what we are "taught" to look for ... he knows about my exploits trying to get a bat manufacturer -- ANY bat manufacturer -- to answer questions. I can only do what I have been trained to do, and when NOBODY (softball organizations nor bat manufacturers) wants to provide a standard training protocol ...
With what I had been taught, I was routinely tossing them because you could feel the barrel moving separate from the handle ("wobble") when you swung it back and forth. No, I'm not talking about routine flexing. Place an empty bottle on a pencil and wiggle it back and forth. That's the feel (not that extreme obviously, but that's my best description). Independent movement.
PS -- Yes, I am mean and cantankerous. Plus I like seeing little girls' parents cry. Not the little girls ... their parents.

Lol! Nope, inside my shed with portable shop lighting at the time!Always liked your avatar Ww, if my sundial memory serves me right, you took that pic around 9:00 am.
To this day when I glance indirectly at it, it looks like a blooming flower. I have thought about changing it several times and decided to keep it around.
Definitely open to the 2019, but need a 33/23 and the ones I've seen have been smaller then that.
