This is probably the sixth Easton bat I've bought over the years, between softball and baseball, and honestly Easton continues to be my go to brand. They have always been reliable for us and I have had very few complaints with any of their bats. My kids use their bats for few years and we dont even throw them away and we give them away to younger kids, so their bats are for generations.
This one is for my teenage daughter who plays competitive softball. Right away she noticed how comfortable it felt through the swing. It has a nice balanced feel and doesn't feel overly heavy or hard to control. She was making solid contact pretty quickly and seemed confident with it from the first practice. The pop is exactly what you would expect from a Ghost. When the ball finds the sweet spot, you can hear and feel it. The sound is classic Ghost and the ball jumps off the barrel. The large sweet spot is definitely noticeable and helps on hits that aren't perfectly centered. Build quality feels excellent. The two piece composite construction does a good job reducing vibration and the grip is comfortable and secure. The very light blue color also looks great in person and stands out without being flashy.
My only real complaint is the price. At current prices these bats have gotten very expensive. Performance is definitely there, but as a father I find it harder and harder every year to allocate some budget for a growing player who may need another size next season. They cost same as a tablet nowadays.
With that said, Easton has earned my trust over the years. This Ghost performs exactly how we hoped it would and my daughter has been very happy with it so far but I genuinely expect these prices to come down. It's high performance bat, it has durable quality and exceptional appearance, good color selection, multiple size options, Great grip, lightweight and I cant ask for more. Good value.
