Help me decipher this Louisville PXT description

KneeHighSocks · May 4, 2017

So after a little online research I came across the new 2018 line up . I'm Trying to figure out what this PXT actually is and how it's different than the LXT or Xeno. My 14yo has only ever loved the 2015 black/blue LXT (she's had 2) and she needs to move to a 33" soon and I'm not going to pay $500 on eBay for a 2015. This looks interesting but I don't understand the "- 10 is weighted at a -8 power balanced ,end loaded" thing. It sounds like a bunch of oxymorons

Thoughts?

I'm guessing that means they have end weighted the bat more than usual, making it feel more like a drop 8 than a drop 10 when you swing it.

the sweet spot is so big you can miss and still hit a double? maybe.. just guessing.. the $350 they get for the lxt isn't enough and they want more?

Good thing is that neither the Demarini, LXT, nor Xeno is appealing to DD in this year's models. So, I don't have to worry about that!

LMAO. Marketing.

I think KCPhoto's interpretation is probably accurate.

probably.

But in this case their marketing maybe went an extra step into the the confusing. It sounds like its going to the the best heavy light bat ever!!

$400.00 now..................WOW. Remember when the top bats in every manufacturer's lineup went to $349.00? Welcome to the year 2020 when the new LS model# 2020PXTCRACK&BUST will have an MSRP of $499.00

Damn. I was looking for a light heavy bat. My kid doesn't like heavy light bats.

Maybe it IS a light heavy bat, they say its a -10 weighted as a -8 so technically the light comes first before the chicken and the egg in this balanced end loaded $400 crap shoot

And people rolled their eyes when I said they were gonna try and milk people for as much as they can (because I was just being negative...haha).

New business strategy in action.

wow...the write up of that bat alone is priceless
