Okay I have holding off to comment on this at until I had some really scientific data. I don't. It's good though, dd was only one that had one on her team. By the time we left Colorado one kid broke a vintage purple and white Stealth, another had an inner disc fail on a Xeno and both paid full retail by necessity to put The Ghostest With The Mostest (who is old enough for that quote) in their bags. I also passed on a certain phone number to a coach who is gaga over them and there is supposedly now an influx of Easton bats headed west although I can't confirm that.

Bat is just good. You can hear when it opens up, really cracks. Grip sucks is the minus. Put a Lizard Skin on it, that also keeps bats from being mixed up. And as always, dont deal with Dicks, call Core, lol! (I hope everybody knows what Dicks Sporting Goods is or that joke gets me banned,)

WW - sounds like you were going to do some exit speed testing. If you do, include an older RT in the mix. I think it might surprise some folks.

Both of mine really like the thin handle but the one I bought it for thought it felt too sticky?

I guess I shouldn't really say it sucks, it was taken off before she swung it outside. I pretty much dump every grip straight out of the box so bats don't get mixed up.

I understand, it does have a sort of tackified thing going. I don't know how it would react if it got wet...whether it would get slick or not. That's
the only thing that was on my mind. Also, don't know how long the tack would last and get slick.

I would rip off and do tape and 3m panel adhesive, but that's me...hahah

WOW! 21 pages about another bat that is the greatest thing since sliced bread. How funny is this. I think Easton has some good coolaide out there. Where's the next "best" bat coming from Alibaba! At least these threads are entertaining:)

Funny thing is..this is a thread full of people who have bought the bat and love it. Don't really know why anybody would have an issue with it. Other than
the fact its not a LS bat and some people hate that (ok, one person really)...haha.

34" Ghost was delivered today. Hit the field tonight with DD for some bp. We don't do bp on the field very often. Couple of times a year, mostly cage work, this was our 1st time this year. Front tossed her about 60 balls, she hit 6 out and 10-15 off the fence. Mostly line drives, she doesn't tend to elevate the ball much. Other things may have contributed to results- since early January she's been working with hitting coach 2-3 times a week and lifting 3 times a week. She's been hitting a lot more 2Bs and 3Bs this year as well. But she's never hit one out in bp and had only hit 1 out in a summer league game last year.

I asked her how it felt, she said "A bat's a bat." We'll go out again in a few days with her FS1 to get a comparison.


Will probably change the grip- she got a blister just below the base of her index finger on her right hand. She only wears a glove on her left hand.

Paint is already showing signs of cracking, barrel is obviously flexing a lot.

Not really bitter...I'm not the one all bent out of shape because another bat has entered the
market and competing.


But I do find it very classy of you, that you think its funny that a little guy gets screwed over by corporate America
and has his business tore up.
I can only hope I can say the same to you at some point.

Happen to know of a few "small" bat retailer's that were not effected by the "Corporate America" I think there's more to your story than you let on? Hmmmmm........
