yeah that is a big step up only because the 33/23 ghost is really 24 ounces, the DeMarini was maybe 31 ounces, so a 3 ounce increase is huge for girls. Hopefully she can handle it and it performs well for her.
We had her try every 32 and 33 available, and actually asked them to bring in two more. I made her demo brand new bats in the same size as her old bat, made her switch them up. I hope it works out.

man look at the handle....getting closer and closer to the axe bat philosophy...

anyone swinging one of these compare it to the old stealth speed? Looks a lot like that to me but I'm sure there's newer tech in this.

Stealth Retro Speed was a good bat. Until it broke of course. Typical Easton I guess. Hopefully the Advanced is better/tougher material than other Ghost models.

Yes I have! And note the WW Custom Hollow Hockeytape grip!

This is a 33 -9 and it was identical in weight and balance to a 33 -8 2018 Ghost. It is good but she prefers the sound of an outer wall slamming into an inner wall.

And let me tell you, a real Stealth Speed ain’t no Retread Speed, lol!

A bit of nostalgia here, a player whose parents I worked with loved that bat. She swung a -8 and I believe it was a 34.

When she would really get a hold of an inside pitch on their home field she would rip It over the fence, over the lawn chair people in left field, over all for lanes of 41st Avenue against the insurance company building lol!

She went on to have a pretty stellar college career. I saw her win a playoff college game hacking at riseballs until she absolutely JACKED one way on out into the lot. It was an incredible sports moment.

No older Easton Stealth was any joke...those things combined huge durability and insane performance. But hence the problem...haha.
Most that had the insane performance never would pass the compression...haha. Those bats just keep getting hotter
and hotter and never stopped.
Same thing with the slowpitch Extended and Flex...but there were other reasons for that as well.

Core- How do you feel the 2020 QPro endload would stack-up against the GA? The Ghosts are just plain heavy not end loaded per say.
Is the QPro overweight as well or is it more of a case of just closer to stated weight but more mass down closer to the sweet spot?

QPro endload is also overweight by like an ounce...kinda think that's how they get the endload.

And yes, I agree, I don't consider the Ghost or ADV endloaded, just heavier.
