Honestly, I wouldn't pay anymore than 175 for a brand new NR bat and 150 for used. That's for a bat I really want.

Too many bats get all crazy years after they were out...not because they were soo much better than other bats, only because they
were a little better then the next year or two of that model...haha

In sp it happens all the time. I will firesale bats that don't sell, 2 years later, a certain model will go sky high. You wouldn't pay so and so
when it was new back then, but you will pay 1-200 more a couple years later :confused:. its not any better now then it was 2 years ago when
you wouldn't buy it.

Again, this is my opinion...I just don't do the paying gold prices for old bats thing. Some do.

I would say they are pretty close when you square it up in the sweet spot. Others have noted that the Ghost performs better on balls that aren't quite centered, especially out towards the end of the barrel. The CF8 was a damn good bat.

I agree, Ghost has a larger sweet spot, but that little drop 11 on the sweet spot was hard to beat

Worth buying for $250? I really hate buying used bats with no warranty. Waiting on Core to see If he has any USSSA -11s. I am pretty happy this will be the last -11 bat I buy though.

I still have the USSSA ghost 33/22. Bought it earlier this year and DD didn't like it. Been sitting for a month now. About 2 buckets of balls hit with it and one live pitching practice. $150 with the original receipt.

That Is a fantastic price. Unfortunately that Is too big for my DD. She needs to be swinging a 30/19 right now. Great price though. I saw a used USSSA Ghost -11 for sale for $300 earlier today.
