Picked one of these up for DD after going through a ridiculous number of 2020/2021 LXTs. She likes it but ended up back with the LXT (she will go through probably six per year so buy 3; get three warranty replacements). Wish she could get more than a few thousand swings out of a bat.
What is bat service?I'm not a bat vendor. I just do bat service locally. We have a 2018 and 2019 Ghost that still make good power. We can't use Easton now due to a marketing partnership. The Advanced I have is a demo from a dealer for me to weigh.
Controlling the amount of defects (which is where a crack would likely initiate) is not easy for composite materials even with the best manufacturing processesI find the whole thing a bit odd.
My DD swings hard. Really hard. We hit balls 4+ days per week. Bat is still pristine.
Do they break because girls aren't hitting the sweet spot? Do they break because they are being used in cold weather? Are some people getting bats that aren't as good as the one we got?
I would for sure as well if I weren't living it! DD has exit velo in the mid-to-high 70s so good but nothing special. In-season we might go to the diamond and hit 200 balls off front toss in a day. One bat lasted less than a week. One lasted a looooong time of heavy use off a tee; maybe 5 months? These have all been Slugger LXTs. We have Demarinis going back 5 seasons to a CF8 that has 20K swings on it and is still great. But she loves the feel and pop of the Slugger.I find the whole thing a bit odd.

Bats are like cars. Just have to hope it wasnt built on a Monday or Friday hahaI find the whole thing a bit odd.

Anyone else having a crack here?
