2018 Easton Ghost

USSSA Ghost 32/22

Just weighed my dd new USSSA Ghost 32/22 and it weighed 22.8
Easton is getting better at being closer to the sticker..

Core, any feedback on the actual weights of the new -11 Ghosts? My daughter is a Freshman in HS and *should* be using a -10 or heavier, but she just hits so much better with -11 bats that are true to weight. I was just wondering if the -11 Ghosts we close or if going with a -10 would be about the same. (If that makes sense)
She’s always been a Demarini girl so just getting her to try anything else is tough. If it “feels” heavy, she doesn’t like it.

I have had 32/22s weight from 22.3 to 22.9 or so. So yes, they have been getting much better and I said that from the beginning
with the Ghost. Which is why I think more drop9s are being sold. Because the drop10s aren't so heavy anymore. Kids that like the heavy,
have to actually buy the bats that are supposed to swing heavier

I remember a time when the friendly local bat guy would PM me weights for entire batches of new bats. I miss that guy.

Just got the -11 Ghost in 33". It weighs 23.3 oz. My DD -10 33" weighs 24.1 oz (this was a warranty replacement, the original bought last June weighed around 23.5 oz if I remember right).

Note: the drop -11 barrel starts tapering about 12" from the end while the -10 starts tapering about 13" from the end. You can see the comparison in the picture below.

Makes sense...its an inch shorter bat.

As for weight, I have always had a problem with everybody's drop 11...I will leave it at that

So do I, he was much nicer before some greedy scumbag company named Wilson screwed him over

Nope. Both 33" according to the post.
