2020 Ghost Advanced

[uncdrew]

Well, he is right that there is a baseball Adv, but he isn't realizing you can have two diff bats with the same Adv name

And I am 100% positive it will be dual stamped

I bought my son an Easton Ghost for baseball. It sucks. I returned it.

Yes, I fell for the marketing and name.

The Adv? There is also a Ghost baseball bat...its getting so confusing...haha

Think the baseball Adv was the Project Adv or something like that. I actually think
I have a demo Adv sitting around if you ever want to try it...haha

The Adv?

No, it was older. Perhaps one of the first models (for baseball). All black with gold writing/detail.

My ultimate plan is to go to the best bat store in Atlanta with my DD, pay the $20 to use their machines and test all their bats, then come here and buy it from Core.

After dozens of swings, I hope she can pick her favorite from all the Ghosts and Louisville Sluggers (and Demarini, though I don't like those as much).

Does she like her Miken and how does she think it compares to her Ghost?

The Miken ASA Freak Primo is awesome. Just plain awesome. The ghost is there as a backup and incase any coach gets a hair up his a** and notices/complains about a slowpitch bat and an ump doesn't know it's legal. After a lot of breaking in I'd say the Ghost is on par with the USSSA Freak, but it doesn't equal the ASA Freak. If your DD can swing a 34 -8, then the ASA Miken Freak Primo balanced is just plain freaking awesome! Better than any fastpitch bat.

Miken is the shiznit in slowpitch

Interesting! She currently swings a 33/25 and has for a couple years.

Would be going up an inch and an ounce.

Whats the comparison durability wise?

Well, give Core a buzz. He was blowing out the USSSA Freak Primo balanced a few months back when I got one, because the -8 Ghost took forever to finally materialize. He may have super good prices on the ASA now as well. Spend a few weeks swinging it and she'll probably build that extra umph. When we first compared the Ghost out of the wrapper, on the field, to the ASA Freak, it was honestly night and day. Literally 30 feet more. I'd always heard the Ghost was hot out of the wrapper, but maybe that wasn't the case with the -8. More thickness maybe. She now uses it for BP and practice, but game time the ASA Freak is still her go to. We haven't had a good on field practice session yet where I can really compare them back to back now that the ghost is more broken in. Weather is now turning too cold.

Maybe the Ghost is a tad heavy compared to the Primo?
