A friend of ours DD is committed to Nebraska. We were in the hunt for a new bat for my DD. Our friend's DD has the CF9 and LXT Hyper. My DD asked her what she thought of the two. She said "I think the CF9 has more pop than the LXT, but the LXT noise makes me think I'm hitting it harder and gives me more confidence even though I know the CF9 is hitting it harder. So I use the LXT more."
