Cage bat and SidelineSwap.com

[fpmominoh]

I'm in search of an inexpensive used bat to be used as a cage and practice bat.
We just ordered the new Ghost Adv and she will need something of the same or similar weight to use with a machine in the cage.

Anyone have an older but usable bat in a 33/23 or even a 32/22 that'll swing similar to a Ghost DB or Adv?

I'm looking on SidelineSwap.com - has anyone purchased from here before?
A Ghost listed with no rattle but with cracks/webbing in the white paint - is this too risky to buy? We are new to Ghosts so I have no clue, have heard that the paint cracks a lot and this can be confused with breakage.

Thanks. But she has a CF, trying to find something that swings a bit heavier.

When i was in your situation, I bought a 33 -8 mizuno carbon 1 from core. It is now in the number 1 slot.

The most durable cage bat is the Anderson Rocketech, but it is very heavy. A 32-23 weighs close to 25 ounces, but you will never break it.

My DD just spent $20 on sidelineswap on a couple of practice bats. One was a brand new wood bad in a drop 3 or something like that for $8. The other was a little aluminum bat for a single hand trainer. Overall, a good experience.

LXT will swing heavier than a CF

I would look for an old Easton Torq or Mako or something in that realm..even one of the banned Stealths. Could
even look for the legal Stealths as not many use them.
You could beat the heck out of them.

No, I would not buy a Ghost with webbing and paint cracks to use in a cage! Paint cracks are pretty easy to decipher
from cracks...problem is lots of people dont know there are such things. Paint cracks and webbing are usually
very thin and nice lines. Cracks are more sharktooth and VVVVV like that.

Neanderthal Club! I still have a nice 33" that if the right person twisted my arm.....I also have a 33" Nanotek, both need grips.

Core's right, you can't break a Mako, heck you can't even break one in!
