    The 31" FNX we tested carried only 57% weight on the big end. 31" 2018 Ghost is 64%.

    It's a team marketing deal with Wilson. We had to park the Ghosts. With another partner's help, every girl on our 12U team got a new 2019 Prizm for Christmas 2018. They take time to start working and usually work best before they break. Our 2018 Insane works better. We tried the 2019 LXT. It's...

    I'm not a bat vendor. I just do bat service locally. We have a 2018 and 2019 Ghost that still make good power. We can't use Easton now due to a marketing partnership. The Advanced I have is a demo from a dealer for me to weigh.

    33" weighs 23.8oz with 63% on the big end. Just like the old ones.

    Bat big end weight data

    I have no idea how the manufacturers determine "end load". My numbers are only the big and small end weights. Are they "exact"? Nope. I'd say within .1 of an ounce.

    Bat big end weight data

    Right? Almost every Easton is heavy but carry the ball farther.

    Bat big end weight data

    We helped get a Ghost returned to Easton that was 2 ounces above advertised. We've recorded swing data the past 3 years with Blast. One ounce of bat weight can lower hand speed 1-2 mph depending on age and strength of batter. It was a bit of a hassle until you have proven data.

    Bat big end weight data

    We were excited about the new FNX until we hit with it and weighed it.

    Bat big end weight data

    The Phoenix FNX was supposed to replace the Insane but 2 FNX's I weighed were nowhere close to having a high big end %.

    Bat big end weight data

    I've done over 50 bats the past 2 years and will be making it a side business in 2020. Unfortunately I can't share our process for weighing at this time because I want to build my client base. I weigh the bat 4 times. Dirty, clean, bare and as delivered. Grip thickness and length can contribute...

    Bat big end weight data

    Here are the bats we tested this year. I'll post the numbers from the 33" Ghost Advanced this weekend. Big end % is the percentage of total weight on the big end of the bat.

    Hello all. I'm Davey. First post newbie. Thanks for the admission. I got my hands on the new Ghost. Going to weigh and take some hacks this weekend. I weigh both the big and small ends of bats and know the big end %. I'll let you know.
