Of those three bats, DD picks the 20 LXT -9 followed by the 17 LXT. Funny thing is, her -9 LXT weighs exactly the same as her 20 Ghost (24.8)-10. Yet her CF Insane -9 weighs 25.6. Tough to compare apples to apples

DD swung a Xeno for years and then a Ghost. Moved to a Mizuno PC this year and loves it. Don't disregard Mizuno.

I wouldn't disregard any high end bats. Your DD gets a feel to what they like and hear. Whatever works best for her! Up here in ND we don't get to see many Demo days, so its buy them and try them. I have a big strong girl and I keep buying her end loads, and she likes heavier balanced bats haha. hits the ball hard with all of them it seems, so I don't think the bat has that much to do with it lol

2019 LXT & 2020 Ghost appears to be the most popular with good hitters around here, but like many have said before...there are many good bats but feel/swing weight/MOI will all contribute to the hitters preference.

All of the good bats can send a ball over the fence or hit lazy grounders to an infielder.

While goofing around after practice my daughter hit the ball out with 4 bats (balanced) in about 15 pitches...then picked up a CF end loaded bat and couldn’t hit the ball out of the infield after hitting a whole bucket. Her friend who owns the bat took one pitch with the same bat and hit it out. What did I learn...preference and feel matter.

My DD has a 2016 Xeno as a backup..........I think it's better than her LXT and Ghost!
Ghosts seems to be the most popular and I see a lot of girls having success with it. Weird thing is we chose to ship our bats (My DD has a Ghost and PC) and equipment via shipping company instead of carrying on plane with us. This forced my DD to use her sisters older Xeno (2015) for a couple of games. She hit the ball harder with that bat than she did all year. I was so surprised, the end cap is coming off it and it's been sitting through some really cold Canada winters in the garage and it's still a beast in my DD's hands. Go figure!

Hard to beat Xeno’s & LXT’s for durability & consistency.
I’m picking-up a 2020 Ghost tomorrow and really hope it’s as good as advertised.
The seller is trying to get me to take a 2020 Prism but just not sold on Denarini’s. Tough to turn down the price he’s asking.
