I have a 2018 33/23 Blue Ghost and a 2020 33/23 Ghost advanced I want to sell. They both have less than 50 swings on them. We keep trying hard to switch over, but DD can't get comfortable with them. $600 for both.
DD just turned 15, 5'10- 220lbs swinging all 34 inch bats
No offense, but I just got a Blue Ghost brand new for $175 on Amazon.
Saw about a half dozen in Dicks this weekend for $149.99. Seems to have fallen out of favor.
On topic - another vote for the DS. Several girls on DDs team have blue and DS and they ALL prefer the DS, including DD. Could be that it feels more balanced. I was impressed initially with DDs but now that she has it good and broke in you can really hear the explosion of the double barrels consistently every ball. She is hitting absolute bombs now compared to any other bat. Has demoed the advanced and pocket radar showed 2-3mph slower exit speeds. I’m betting it was because that bat had the wrapper peeled off about 6 girls in front of her. Can’t wait to hear more after things even out, but right now no way am I paying 100 smacks more for the Adv over the DS.

My observations on the Ghost line. The 2018 ASA Ghost was a top notch performer. It was borderline defective. Too many people were going through 3-5 bats a year to tell me otherwise.Saw about a half dozen in Dicks this weekend for $149.99. Seems to have fallen out of favor.

We finally got to a store with a Hit Trax and hit a few bats. Exit Velocity:
Ghost Advanced 32 drop 11 -- 54 mph
Demarini 2020 CF -- 32 drop 10 -- 54 mph
Demarini Prism -- 32 drop 10 -- 53 mph
LS 2020 LXT -- 32 drop 10 -- 52 mph
Ghost Advanced 32 drop 9 -- 52 mph
LS 2018 LXT -- 31 drop 11 -- 51 mph (HER CURRENT BAT)
Sad thing is, we were there specifically to try the Ghost Advanced 32 drop 10. And they didn't have it. Even after I called in the day before and they said they did.
So, I'm thinking the Ghost Advanced 32 drop 10 is the way to go. Based on the data above, can anyone weigh in on that? Makes sense, yes? For what it's worth, it was her favorite.
