On anther site I visit a guy is selling one and he says that it is ridiculously hot out of the wrapper and even better when it opens up.
I wonder, why he would sell it then? My DD tried a demo last year and said she liked it but the sound it made (breaking glass?) kind of bothered her. Thats the only one i've seen, so I can only say that what i've read about it sounds good. But it does kind of go against my "what are the best hitters around using" method for picking bats. Could be the best bat made, but not many people around here use it.
I didn't know about the breaking glass sound.
I see they made a video about it. It is covered on the beginning and the end of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIHKOPeWFg0&feature=related.

DD's 10u coach's oldest DD (12U) has a 31/21 and it smokes the ball! One of our stronger 10's hit with it and it added 15' - 20' to her distance even though her bat speed was noticeably slower (She normally swings a 30/18). I think her dad is looking for a 30/20. I haven't heard any thing about durability, probably still too early to say. Xeno's are starting to show up for auction on ebay now.

I have a few kids using it and they like it. Keep that video on your iphone, because blue WILL question you about the bat when they hear it hit a ball. Some will think it's broken, others (especially if the kid is a strong hitter) will think it's been modified, ect.

Daughter loves her new XENO. It does break in like any other composite with a couple hundred hits. First bat had a problem after the first week so was frustrated to have to spend another week breaking in a new one. You actually grow to like the sound. HS coach thought it was broken on first day until about 3 more girls started using one. The Xeno, CF4, and RTs are probably the most popular around here with the Xenos gaining the most momentum.

I wish at least one of the stores around here would stock the Xeno so I could let my child pick it up and take a few dry swings with it to see what she thinks.
We bought one for my 14U DD last fall. She absolutely loves it. She uses the 32/22, 5'2" 110lb. The breaking glass sound is a little odd, but it smokes the ball.
01mom, our local Dicks Sporting Goods stocks a few. Do you have one in Huntsville? Ours only keeps one or two on the rack, but they often keep different sizes in the back.
