LXT vs CF

[vchristensen]

My 14 year old daughter has her new bat choice down to the new LXT or CF. She likes a drop 11. She has a 2019 LXT now.
I feel she could use a little more bat speed. From what I read, they say the CF has a lighter swing weight. Can anyone back that up and would that help ?

14U switched to a 2020 CF after cracking her Ghost. It’s a her primary bat because of the balance and swing feel. She did get an LXT that she’ll use against slower pitchers. But 9 times out of 10 she bats with the CF.

She uses a 32 -10 for both and is a slapper.

DD has a 2017 LXT and a 2022 CF in 30 -11. The CF has a more balanced swing and appears to have less flex at the connection. The LXT is heavier than the sticker weight and feels more end-loaded than the CF.

Your DD is swinging too light of a bat,.

DD has swung both I am not sure she could chose between the 2.

DD owns both. They're both balanced...the CF a bit moreso. The LXT does show up a bit heavier than indicated.

Can't go wrong with either, but swing the drop 10 if at all possible.

She had a 32/22 Prism. Didnt like it at all, went back to the drop 11 LXT.
Just sold the Prism.

A CF will DEF swing lighter than the LXT in the same size.

You can swing any model the same speed..all depends on the weight and load…and unfortunately you can’t rely on the sticker/listed weight.

You find better swing speed in technique.

It ain‘t in the weight of the bat.

Spend your money on lessons.
