Does anyone do an analysis of softball bats with actual data?

[_MIA_]

I don't see many of them out in the wild. My DD is the only one on our team who uses one.

My DD has used a Xeno for the last 3 years because somebody gave me a free one and then she just kept using them..

Back then 8 out of 10 bats leaning against the fence in a dugout was a Xeno, maybe 9. We were always in that group of 1 or 2.

They are still very popular with college players at LS schools. In my own non-scientific review, I saw more Xeno bats in use than the LXT or Meta X. If I had to rank them, I would say 1) Xeno, 2) LXT, and 3) Meta X.

Agreed. If forced to use LS, it'll be seen a lot. But honestly, every game my DD plays I notice the other teams' bats. Not a single Xeno. Mostly Ghost, next most is LXT.

I am finding a more diverse group of bats this summer than in previous years. Many girls I know who are committed have switched to their college brands to get used to them. Many former Ghost users are using other bats since they can't use them anymore in college. My daughter's teammate is using a Mantra, her good friend is using the Whisper and two more are using the Xeno or LXT.
