2019 Louisville Slugger PXT Review

As we discuss in this video, the PXT is the heaviest swinging drop 10 bat we tested. As such, it is built for the bigger, stronger player who likes an end loaded feel. Or, those smaller players who prefer a more sledge hammer type feel to their bat and are willing to size down an inch or so.

In terms of performance the bat is impressive. It ranks among the best with its exit speeds and feel on both hits and mishits.

Serious fastpitch players who really want an end loaded bat in the drop 10 space should look to the PXT. Smaller players who really want the bat should size down at least an inch when compared to light swinging bats like the Slugger LXT or DeMarini CF Zen.

Fastpitch PXT Recommendations

The 2019 PXT weighed out as the heaviest swinging 2019 drop 10 fastpitch bat we tested. But, in terms of feel on contact and exit speeds it was one of the favorites. Our full 2019 Slugger PXT Review follows.

Comparable Bats

Although the Ghost Double Barrel fastpitch bat from Easton is designed considerably different than the PXT the swing weights and barrel sizes are very similar. Feedback from the players we had hit with the bats was also similar.

The Ghost Double barrel, however, uses a double barrel design. That is, inside the bat there is an additional barrel that works as a governor. The PXT is just a single barrel with no ring design.

2019 LXT

We hit with the 2019 LXT from Slugger nearly 800 times before writing this review. During that time, we documented exit speeds, barrel sizes and the swing weight of the bat.

After hitting every fastpitch bat over the last several years it is hard to be blown away by a bat.
