A quick update. Updated DD's bat to a new LXT 33 -10. So far, in practice with live pitching she has sent several balls flying past the 200 foot mark with the farthest easily making 250. It was one of those hits where the sun and moon align and you ask yourself if that really did just happen...
Well, her fall conditioning came with stories that made me utter "holy crap, girls can do that?" under my breath. She was about 97 pounds at the beginning of the fall semester... and now at 104 she isn't happy about the fact that she has a 6-pack....go figure. I do know that she can drop and...
So, thanks to quincy and djcarter1966, there is a 6th option on the table.... Thanks to LS the LTX has many options....
6. keep the length and drop the weight. 32/21 -11
My DD is a 14 yr old very high percentage hitter who is hitting the warning track and occasionally the bottom of the fence. She's almost 5'5" weighing in at about 104 lbs. She's currently swinging a 2015 LXT 32/22. It's her second LXT which she loves for the feel and the ability to adjust...
My experience is if a catcher wants to always shed the helmet it is because 1. obstructed vision, 2. helmet too heavy, and/or 3. improper fit (which leads to both 1 and 2). My DD has been chosing Shutt for the last couple of helmets specifically for the reasons of field of view and weight. The...
How the glove hinges should be a real consideration as well. My DD was having continuing issues with her thumb bothering her after long practices or games. Switched her to the All-Star CMW3000 and the thumb problem went away almost immediately. We broke in the All-Star quickly and easily...
It's not really fair to judge the end performance of a XENO or LXT that is a couple of years old to a new one. It seems that, at least with the LXT, it just keeps getting hotter as it gets older. I know that my DD's 2014 LXT has never been hotter than it is today. I have invested in newer...
Be aware that solvents, waxes, paints, etc. can potentially alter the performance of the shell of a helmet and thus expose individual or company making the modifications to liability. This is one of the reasons why you don't find many companies out there offering to paint your helmet. Also...
My DD always chose Nike but since her team forced her into Mizuno 9 Spike Sweep 4, she made the switch. She immediately fell in love with the Mizuno and swears it is the most comfortable spikes she has ever put on her feet. If you order, be aware that the Mizuno size differntly than the Nike...
