    Bat other than Easton Ghost

    I have posted a few times about bats for DD14. She is plowing through ghosts faster than we can get them back from Easton. Easton recommended moving her from a -10 to a -9, which we did with the 2022 Ghost Advanced. She has only swung it a few times, but loves it. She loves the Ghost/Ghost...

    Size up the Easton Ghost?

    Looking back at my older bat questions, her spray seemed to matter in understanding her bat size for her. She is a lefty, her hits lately tend to be center-right to right. The one she recently tossed out like it was child's play was deep to far right, but that was her perfect pitch.

    Size up the Easton Ghost?

    Really? I make her leave one in the cozy in the car on cold days instead of keeping both in her bag, and have her keep her bat in a cozy when they are sitting around between games on really cold days. Her bat isn't in a cozy in the dug out, but I definitely push the cozy...

    Size up the Easton Ghost?

    DD has a 33/23 2020 Ghost Advanced and a 2022 Ghost. Both are broken. We originally bought the Advanced in Jan 2020 and Easton replaced it in Feb 2021 even though it was a few weeks out of warranty. (yay!) We bought her a 33/23 2020 Ghost as a 'practice bat' to try to keep stress off of...

    ACL reconstruction experiences

    Thanks, guys! 6 months gives me some hope, and I will be sure to keep on her form when she is doing her PT/rehab. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The point being made about the first amendment not applying is the exact opposite of ‘so DFP is now the government?’ The first amendment prohibits congress from making laws abridging freedom of speech. It does not prohibit discussion forum rules limiting freedom of speech regarding a given...

    ACL reconstruction experiences

    DD had ACL reconstruction two weeks ago, and I would love to hear your experiences. Did your DD regain full strength and range of motion? How long until she was comfortably practicing, batting, playing hard? DD can be a little hard to keep down, and she came out of surgery feeling better than...

    Adding a second bat - help

    I posted on the equipment page that DDs bat cracked and we sent it in to be replaced under warranty. It will take a while to get it back, which is fine-ish for now, but I hate to have this happen during tournament season. She has her old bat but it is pretty small for her, and even if it isn't...

    Easton warranty ?

    My 13 yo swings a Ghost Advanced that we purchased Jan 19, 2020. She cracked it at practice today, not quite four weeks past the warranty. Does anyone have experience with Easton doing something for you in a situation like this, even if not honor the warranty? A deep discount on a new bat or...

    Holiday tip?

    DD has weekly hitting lessons with her team coach. They are optional, and paid directly to the coach per lesson (ie, they are not part of the team expectation or cost). The lessons started in September. Do you tip/gift for lessons? If so, how much?

    Staying down in fall

    My DD is a 2007 and the tournaments we have seen so far have all stated they are 2021 events. She is on a 14U team this year, but she wouldn't be able to stay down. I am in CT.

    FOR PARENTS: Knowing when to invest for your kid

    This thread is spot on for me. My DD is 13 and loves the sport, we enjoy watching her do something she loves. I think it is great if she continues to love it and plays in college, but I would like her to pick the college for the all around best fit for her - program strengths, size, location...

    GHOST ADVANCED

    My DD loves it, and she is hitting really well with it. She has a new batting coach, I haven't had a chance to ask her about her impressions yet, but we are happy with it. COVID quarantine left things quiet for months, no practice and batting cages were all closed. She started back to...
