2018 USSSA approved Ghost

[HOG11]

I just received an email from the local USSSA tournament director. He was explaining the difference between the 2 different ghost bats and went on to basically "sell" the bat to all the recipients of the email. This tells me that this whole not passing USSSA compression tests and the bat being unsafe is complete and total BS. USSSA worked some sort of a deal with Easton and is getting kick backs on every bat sold or something of the like. This email was sent to my entire team and I assume it is because how USSSA has each parent go in and register their child so they can send you these spam emails. They must have sent it to every team that registered This year in the area.

I agree 100% about BS usssa safety. But don't blame manufacturers for usssa guidelines. I know this stamp prob cost Easton
way more then they wanted to spend on producing a usssa bat. But it had to be done. They are getting nothing per bat. Either
they dealt with usssa, or they didn't have a bat.

And EVERYBODY gets usssa spam. Every person in slowpitch has to register as well and put their email down for usssa. And guess what, I got Demarini spam up the wazoo for years.
I think anybody that pays usssa, gets advertising emails for something.

6/1 Is current official date?

Do you know if it will have all the appropriate stamps?

Easton is getting 500 early and releasing them on 4/20. The regular release will be 6/1 on the rest of the batch.


and 4/20...who releases anything with that date

Maybe companies who want to release a new candy bar or flavor of potato chip.

So, the same bat isn’t approved for both usssa and asa? I prob reading it wrong.

Im sure there is something slightly diff, but not much. USSSA has to approve their stamp

That’s my students’ favorite date! All day long, I’ll hear, “Ms. A*****, it’s 4/20. Did you know it was 4/20?” I really need to come up with some good new responses.

Correct. Neither of these bats can be used in both ASA and USSSA.

and there is a USSSA, NSA, ISA Ghost (yellow writing)
