I know your quip about the $449 is tongue-in-cheek, but the pricing issue is still valid. It seems to me Easton pushed the original Ghost's performance as far as it could - to the point of it being almost too fragile. It has great pop, a wide sweet spot, mid-pack stiffness on the joint, and great sound. It's only real downside (for some) other than durability is that it's heavy and end-weighted. In comes the Ghost Advanced to provide a more balanced alternative and maybe a softer connection (like an LXT?). But why in the hell does Easton think they can charge $100 more than the original Ghost to get a more balanced bat with a soft feel? Those supposed advantages (balanced and soft feel) are just personal preference and not advantages. I hope I'm wrong and the Advanced takes it to the next level, but call me skeptical.
BTW, that doesn't mean I won't buy it at a discount somewhere to try it out before handing it to my DD....because I'm a bat nerd.

How about a stiff AND balanced bat that is durable and only $40 more??
all in jest everyone.

Call Easton or email about the retail price and ask them why. What do you want anybody to say, the only person who can answer it is Easton. I agree that the retail price is high. You have multiple bats by other manufacturers at 399 and people pay that at this point. I would have rather seen the 399 price tag it started at...as my price went up as well.
To the people that are really looking to purchase this bat, then I can completely understand the price complaint and Im with ya as Im not a fan of it as well. This doesnt help me either, thats for sure but I will do what I can.
The folks that never had an interest in buying, never would buy, or the folks that always buy older
model bats on the cheap, then the price doesnt really effect them.
