Item Description

• ST+20 One piece alloy / Composite internal frame hybrid
• Exclusive Exogrid Bi/Fusion Process-Using a combination of heat and extreme pressure, the sleeve inserts and metal wall are bonded to function as a single solid unit
• Internal Carbon Composite Sleeve-The heart of the Exogrid is the carbon sleeve which provides greater handle stiffness than aluminum alone ever could.
  
• Carbon Composite Inserts-Metal is trimmed in a grid pattern, then replaced with carbon composite inserts that are several times stronger and lighter than the metal they replace
  
• The result is a stiff handled bat. A stiff handle produces more barrel flex, resulting in maximum trampoline effect and ultimately, greater performance
• 2 5/8   inch barrel, -8.5oz length to weight ratio
• Patented Pro Cup end cap
• Synthetic Grip, 7/8  inch standard  handle
• Features new USSSA 1.15BPF stamp for approved play in 2012 season
• Model SLXEX replaces previous models SL71X, SL83X, and SL9X

Overall Rating for Louisville Slugger SLXEX TPX Exogrid Senior League Baseball Bat - USSSA Approved for 2012

(based on 4 reviews)

Great bat

By Zeke from United States on June 20, 2011

Louisville Slugger makes great bats and this is not different. The bat is balanced with a lot of pop. It even breaks in easily.

Pros:

Pop, balanced weight, grip, it's perfect

Cons:

Nothing. This bat is to good for cons.

I would recommend this item to a friend.

Fit Guide

• The bat size that best fits you will be one that is comfortable, easy to swing and allows you to produce the greatest bat speed and power.
  
• To obtain your optimum bat  select a bat that is not too long/heavy or too short/light.
• A bat too short won't provide maximum power or barrel length, while a bat too long will be too difficult to handle and will also slow bat speed reducing power.
  
• First begin with selecting a length. If possible use the previous bat you swung to help establish a length. For example if you used a 30 in bat and now feel that you are ready to move on to a larger bat a 31 in could be the next step.
  
• You can also use the chart below for the average bat lengths based on your height, weight and age.
• The chart below is just a guide as each player's strength and bat speed differ.
• While the chart below was primariy designed for baseball, we have found it works fairly well for fastpitch bat sizing too. For fasptitch, however, refer to only the player height and discregard the player weight. Also, see notes at the bottom for additional notes on fastpitch bat sizing.

• The bat weight is equally as important as the length in selecting  the optimum bat size.
  
• Bat weight differs greatly depending on the age range and is usually referred to as the "drop" when associated with the length and weight.
  
• The drop is the difference between the length of the bat and the weight of the bat. For example if a bat is 30 in. long and weighs 20 oz. then the drop is 10. The larger the drop, the lighter the bat.
  
• The average bat drop can best be broken down by age range.

• Average - drop 12
• Power Hitter - drop 10

• For ages 12 and under, drop 10 is the average
• Over age 12  range from -10oz to -5oz depending on the players strength and bat speed. 
• *Check with your local league or organization to find out if there are any restrictions on barrel diameter or bat weight.
  

• All high school or college bats are drop 3
• Freshmen/Sophmore High School players: 31 and 32 ich are the most popular
• Junior/Senior in High School players: 32 and 33 inch are the most popular
• College Players:  33 is the most popular size.

• Age 13 and under, average drop - 11oz or 12oz.
• Age 14 to 16, drop 10
• Age 16 and up, Drop 8oz to 10oz. Drop 10 is still the most popular drop, but some  power hitters prefer a drop 9.
