2020 Ghost sorry for the typo.

So I have what I hope is a simple question. Who caved? Did USSSA agree to have ASA compression level bats as legal or did Easton basically eliminate the Blue Ghost and now market one bat that meets USSSA standards? I just went online and the blue ghosts are flying out of stock so I must not be the only one concerned.

From my research so far, usssa has accepted the ASA/USA standards that allow them...also why the other ASA only bat now has both stamps.

I have now got this comfirmed by 2 folks already, one being a pretty high up usssa official that was at the usssa convention...will keep going.

Stores are going low, Easton has plenty...but if people wanna pay 500 bucks for a rare, NIW 2018 Ghost, I will gladly stock some more :)

I think they are "flying" out of stores because stores know when new lines are coming out, not to keep tons in stock.

So will they at some point allow the 2018 ASA versions to be used in USSSA?

I am not sure about this as it doesn't have the stamp, Not sure if they will backtrack and allow a bat that doesn't have the usssa mark. I mean, its not that hard, but
umps would have to actually keep in tune with the rule change and so would other coaches. And I doubt they are gonna have a million people send bats back to put
a stamp on...haha.

Also, usssa got no money to get the stamp on the blue ghost...so not sure if they are in a hurry to do anything with it.

What the wife doesnt know wont kill her lol. Just a stack of bats, so one more hardly makes a diff, at least I keep telling myself that. :)


I say the same thing sir...I figure after 150, another bat doesn't matter. It just adds to the rows in her closet :)

There could be far worse things in life to be into
