Easton never really stretched the limits. The bat just broke. Its no more hotter than the next bat. Theres only so much you can do. Maybe with Rawlings acquiring them reliability might change. Who knows
As a company would you prefer to service and replace 7 bats in 3 years or 3 bats in 3 years?
to the first point, if the ghost in general is not the hottest/best bat in the game how come in 23 high school games it is used by over 50% of the players on all but 1 team I have seen and then over the weekend with 12u and 14u with 31 teams in total all but 2 of those teams had a ghost for half their team. Also, out of the 54 teams 7 were 100% ghost/ghost advanced.
To your point, if that is what my kid prefers and wants and I see the bat perform, yes.
now to that point, oldest has had 3 girls this high school season with DemarinI all picked up her spare ghosts and left their Demarini in their bag. all 3 say they love the jump off the ghost compared to their Demarini.
as to the company perspective I say this, if I sell 1000 and service 75 of them and my competitor sells 100 and services 3 of them I say thank god I am not struggling like my competitor. It is a numbers game and right now in fast pitch the ghost is crushing the competition.
