Ok Dude let’s hit the waves.Dude. It's clear you don't want a Ghost. Don't get a Ghost.
If you think the RXT (or whatever) is better for your DD, go get an RXT (or whatever). End of story.

My DD likes the Ghost and she is asking for the 2020. The Ghost is scary when you square it up. It’s really the only bat I’m leary about her using when I’m pitching to her. Actually made me start using a screen when pitching which I hate.
She would be using the Ghost but we play mostly Utrip tourney’s. She uses the Ghost for Rec unless we have a tourney coming up and then she will use LS’s.
I think the new Ghost is getting a lot of attention due to the WCWS. UCLA was crushing the ball. Great talent and would have crushed the ball with tree limbs.
You seem like somebody that likes to do their own research. I’m sure you can find impartial lists/reviews as I have.
I don’t believe the 2018 Ghost is a better bat than LXT/Xeno. Comparable exit velo, both quality bats but for the upteenth time Sluggers in my experience are more consistent. Also limited on what tournaments you can use blue Ghost in so that’s a negative. Of course you could run out and buy the Gold Ghost and be ready to play in any tournament.Yesterday at 11:14 you posted that LS is more forgiving and the Ghost causes bomb, dud, bomb, dud because the sweet spot is smaller or whatever?
But now it might be the bat you buy?
So all those posts you made..... You got on pretty much every thread that mentioned Ghost and you dogged it...... you talked about the superiority of one bat over the other..... would you prefer that I describe those posts as misinformed? Were you repeating propaganda? The advise you have given other parents? What the heck is going on here?
Not spending money for no reason. If it’s an upgrade I’m all in. It’s all about the research and best deal.You're putting way too much effort into this, MB22. The bat you're looking for will be found at the same place they are giving away gold-plated unicorns.

Oh and seeing you don’t like research the F3 Defender V-2 looks like the best catchers mask for reducing the risk of concussions.
I believe you were the fellow concerned about his DD’s mask.
Interesting. It does look a little heavy. I have noticed more MLB catchers using them. From what I understand many more want to use them but can’t due to obligations to other sponsors.I never said I don't like research. I research a LOT of stuff. I have zero motivation to do in-depth research on bats, currently. That said, I generally try to keep up to speed on what's happening in the bat world.
I agree that The Force3 mask is pretty likely to be the best protection against concussions currently available for catchers. I spent a lot of time looking into catcher's helmets, and I ordered a Force 3 Defender V2 mask for my DD. It was a no-go. It was heavy, awkward, she hated the way it looked, hated the way it fit, and refused to wear it. One of the other catchers on her team had the same reaction. The mask was returned to Force3. Their intent is fantastic. The execution still leaves a little to be desired for the hockey-style catcher's mask. My DD is using the new Easton Pro-X mask, and it is doing a very good job for her.
Yeah I’m ok not taking the loss. Appreciate your input. Nice to hear new feedback.I haven’t owned a ghost yet. Two girls swing 2019 LXTs and one swings a 2018 Xeno and honestly do great with those bats. The two that swing the LXTs are power hitters and hit HRs when they square up the ball...not sure a different bat will help them much. However, the other pitches and doesn’t bat much, but thinking about getting the ghost for her. I’m not sure it will help, but who doesn’t want the latest and greatest.
You can always sell on eBay if they don’t like it.
