Looking for a used SB bat for my daughter to use for hitting practice. Want a 33/23 (ideally Louisville Slugger Xeno) to practice with and save her newer 33/23 for games.
 
Good move. Saving money for those pricey balls.
Yeah. Bought a bucket of the cheaper balls a few years ago. Turned into mushy eggs after a few rounds of hitting. Then we got good balls just for older daughters senior pictures. SMH. Cha. Ching.

Daughter has a LS, Xtend or something like that, and wife nearly put me in the hospital when she showed me the price tag. Sons girlfriend used it a couple times, she struck out once and smacked a pole going back to the dugout angry. I told my son he was breaking up with her if the bat was dented.

I am guessing you meant Xeno or is it a TPS? (want to sell it?)

Let me guess $300? Then, composite bats only only last a year or two. I have half a dozen in my garage (current and used up). That is why I would love to buy one that doesn't have any 'pop' left just for practice and save the good one for games.

Would also love to help some of our younger SB players (Jr. High age and younger) if there are any other old bats out there.

Only 1 year old, so hanging on to it. This one was pushing 4 bills. Is a freshman so this was her first varsity bat.
 
My daughter has a Xeno she wants to sell. It’s a smaller bat 30/19. Only used one season before she moved to the LXT. I’d sell it for $100. Great bat for any younger player that wants to move to a composite bat.

Thanks for the info. Not what we need at this time.
 
You buy new every year?

Every year or two. Depends how much she uses it and how much 'pop' is left (she thinks they loose pop much before I do). She plays 7 months a year and practices hitting 8+ months a year so they get a lot of use. Now with one dead one for practice and a new one for games that are the same size/weight, her current bat should last a lot longer.

I told the daughter to get this bat through this year and that can be her practice bat and we will buy her a new one next year for games. She stopped doing AAU so it should make it then.

Make sure to check the reviews on her gamer bat to see how much it needs to be broken in. Although I am not sure if the "break in" period is similar to slow pitch bats. My new DeMarini took about 150 balls to break.

Yeah, 4-5 years ago, we had to go through that. Lately, however, the manufacturers claim they are 'hot' right of out the box; no break in needed. Good point though. Lot's of nuances with the composite bats.
