Does anyone know anything about the new L/S RXT bat coking out in June? All I’ve heard is that it’s a dual-stamped bat designed to compete with Easton Ghost. Anyone heard anything beyond that ?

I have heard of people "coking" out. But a bat? Is this code for something? RXT? Is this a new bat? Also didn't think there was an issue with the LS bats being stamped or not. Am I missing something?

Typo. Meant to say Coming out. No.....no issue with the LXT. This new L/S RXT will be in addition to the LXT model. I just referenced that it will be dual stamped because previous Ghosts were not and this new L/S is aimed at competing with the Ghost. Which yes I know will be dual stamped with new model Ghost coming in June

Maybe it replaces the PXT. That bat never really took off, although I have seen a few college players using it on TV.

Im gonna guess its a remake of the PXT, since that bat really took a sh!t. Prob wanted to get that name off the bat. But I am guessing as I don't know and not
gonna investigate. Again, complete guess.

Once a bat fails (sales wise) like the PXT did, no matter if you make a good one at some point, that stigma is on it like skunk stink...gotta bathe in tomato sauce
and get it off. So best to rename and start fresh if that's what it is.

My guess...Wilson has to do more than just re-paint/re-name the PXT. If they have another "new and improved" dud. It's going to be hard to recover from.

Safety tip: The tomato sauce thing doesn't work for skunk stink. Baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and dish soap is much more effective.

From what I have read in a few places, the PXT is a dud.

DD and I demoed the PXT at the L.S. complex in Peoria. It felt terrible compared to the LXT and Xeno. No exit speed figures to confirm, but who cares if it feels like a heavy rock with no bounce.

The PXT was garbage. I know 4 girls ranging from 13-17 yrs old that used it for a period of time and all stopped using it because it was garbage. However, all of those girls have used and liked Demarini CF models, L/S LXT models, and Easton Ghost. On my daughter’s 14U team, the Ghost is the most popular bat with the L/S LXT second most popular. So I’m excited to see what this new L/S RXT is like
