I would seriously consider the QPro. I bought a 34/25 for myself. My DD swings a 34/26 Ghost. We tried to hit 10 balls each off of a tee from HP over a 215' fence with each bat. I hit 5 with my QPro while DD hit 4. I hit 3 over with her Ghost and she hit 4. However, our mis-hits were on average, 10-15' further with the QPro. That said, I haven't hit Mizuno's latest offerings yet but I should be able to provide feedback on those shortly...Hopefully....

ETA: DD has had her Ghost from first year 18U (17) through Fall Ball of College Ball Sophomore year. I have yet to hear of a Ghost losing "their pop" and certainly, DD's hasn't yet, from what her College Coach is telling us.

Thought about the Quattro Pro, a teammate of my girls picked up the Pro (I referred him to Core) when she wanted a back up to her old Quattro, she loves it and has been hitting very well. HS season ends this weekend (made it to State!) and need to set up a comparison hitting session. Recently Marucci was at the fields with some demo bats (it was primarily a BB deal) and neither one of my girls said they cared for either the feel or the "pop" of the bat.

Yocoach, I'm not saying the Ghost has lost it's pop at all...it's delivered several homers in the past month!

Yupper...been telling Marucci 100 times what their problem is and they refuse to listen. The rep in this area is so damn lazy, he wont even do a baseball demo
here for us for a baseball league's indoor facilities. Heck, baseball bats they are atleast good at. Then wonder why sales sucks. He did it last year
and we sold about 40 baseball bats for them.

Been telling them about their fp bats for a while, falls on deaf ears. Whatever, I have no problem not getting any and neither does potential customers
considering their lack of sales. It is an ok bat with good durability...that's it. Not gonna beat anything out there. But yet, its map price is right with
all the big boys and so is cost.

The connector is completely diff on the PC and the PC has a disc setup...actually, it had a clack when I hit it on the ground. Pics are below. Carbon2
is a double wall with zone tech. The Power Carbon has disc setup and connector

And believe me, I have to rush...he needs them back this weekend so its gonna be a quick session today and tomorrow or just tomorrow
depending on when I can pick them up

I talked with the Rep (not so much about their bats) about their glove line up in light of them luring Erik aka "The Glove Cowboy" away from Easton, he didn't know much or have any details of what may be forthcoming...they should be able to put out a solid small batch glove with his expertise and their resources.
