Love this bat!

This bat has lasted me over a year with no replacements and is still on fire. The grip is very comfortable and the weight is just perfectly balanced for a beautiful swing that will send the ball far. Overall the construction of the bat as a whole is very solid and well performed.

Not Impressed (at all)

I bought an Easton Ghost in the Spring of 2024 which was the prior years model at a slightly reduced rate. It sadly cracked by the end of June (2 months later.) I received a replacement from the retailer (great service from the retailer btw) under warranty which ended up being the new 2024 Easton Ghost (black & red model.) It was used for two tournament's at the end of the summer in July and then shelved until our first tournament last weekend (May '25.) After the tournament we noticed a massive ball size crack in it. Since it's already been replaced once (older model to this new one) and it's just over a year old, I guess I'm out of luck. Overall, I'm not impressed at all by the durability of these bats. These crack way to easy, especially for the limited amount of use. I had hopes for the new model when we received it last summer but after the first tournament of the year, it's toast. It hurts, especially financially.

bat broke right out the rapper

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the bat in October and in January 2 months after it started to break and have rattling noise and I only hit softballs with it made sure it wasn't cold enough but that wasn't a problem cause I was indoors

Great bat but broke just shy of 6 months

My daughter had this bat for just shy of 6 months and it broke in half during practice mid swing. We were very happy with the warranty and the turn around of her replacement bat. I am hoping her replacement makes it past 6 months this time around. She has tournaments monthly with rec games weekly. It needs to hold up to her fast paced travel ball.

Great bat!

My 8 year old daughter loves this bat. She's had multiple Ghost bats and this is by far her favorite! This bat unofficially became the team bat for one tournament because all the girls wanted to hit bombs too- and THEY DID! Tons of pop and easy to swing!

Easton Ghost Advanced 2024

We bought the drop 9 as all the drop 10s we had always broke too soon. My daughter hates the drop 9, plus we have only had for about 3 months and the rubber around the barrel has already ripped in half. Very disappointed in quality.

Solid bat

Received as a replacement for a warrantied bat. Been about 6 months so far seems to have more durability than previously owned ghost bats. Bat has great sound and pop, my 12 yr old hit an over the fence homerun. You get your money worth on every swing. I would recommend compared to previous years

Great bat so far

So I have to give Easton props! My daughter broke the last years Advanced and they sent the new one. She’s only gotten to do some soft toss and tee work with it, seems to have a little more pop then the unlimited she has been using most the year now. Also seems to be a little more end loaded then the other advanced.

Fragile

Received on a Wednesday. Used in a game on a Thursday and Friday while cracking on Friday. Return process has been down since all while waiting 2 .5 weeks on getting a previous replacement. So, as of now I’m waiting on 2 to be replaced

(no review title)

Bought my daughter 2024 ghost in March. She loved it out of the wrapper. As season has went on she no longer uses it. 8 out of the 13 players on the team has same bat. None of them use it now. Bat stings hands and the pop is not even close to when they first got it. Very disappointed as a 1st time ghost buyer.

Improved durability

Best bat on the market. Looks like the durability has improved as we are now through our JV season. My 7th grader loves it.

Still cracks like all the past releases. Bat is only like a month old and already has started cracking around the end cap.

Stiffer feel

Bat wasn’t as hot as as expected. Feels stiff. Hopefully with more use it will break in and not break.
