What is the quick review?
The 2016 Louisville Slugger Xeno Plus took the successful Xeno platform and added even more end-load for serious power hitters. This two-piece composite became the choice for cleanup hitters across elite fastpitch.
What models and sizes are available?
The Xeno Plus featured iST Technology with additional mass strategically placed in the barrel. The zero-friction double disc connection minimized vibration while maximizing energy transfer.
How is it built?
The 2016 XENO PLUS, like previous year's versions, is a balanced bat with a gigantic sweet spot and reduced vibration. The bat continues to have the smashing sound that has made it recognizable on ballparks across America. The 2016 Xeno, like previous years as well, continues to be a double walled bat. This structure allows the outside and inside layer to work for maximum allowable pop with the right amount of durability.
This year's XENO, when compared to the 2015 version, comes with a thinner walled outer shell. This newer composite design is referred to a PLUS Composite---hence, the XENO PLUS name. This thin walled PLUS composite gets the bat much closer to maximum performance standards straight out of the wrapper. Some hitters are claiming they need no work in period on the composite barrel for. Our experience appeared to confirm this---although it is impossible to really tell with just one bat.
