DFP Vendor
Several DFP Vendors on here run respectable businesses, myself included.Whom do I ask? My daughter has tried Ghost Advanced, LXT, and CX-Zen. What about the Mantra? Does that break? Is it similar to the Ghost Advanced?
In my experience, the Mantra does not break with the same frequency as the Ghost. In fairness, we don't sell nearly as many Mantras as Ghosts, so the sample size is quite different. The color scheme on the Mantra takes a little getting used to, but it is a very good bat. The 2023 version came out a few months ago and has good reviews.
Again, have her try them out at a local store before deciding. If she likes the Ghost, get the warranty replacement and stick with it. Many people are okay with the frequency of them breaking because their daughters like the bat a lot and Easton has excellent customer service. Others are frustrated with paying a lot for something with questionable durability. It is a matter of opinion.
