2022 Easton Ghost Advanced

[uncdrew]

Not regarding the 2022 Advanced but, I have worked with the following bats recently:

Meta - Did not like the "feel" of the bat at all. Heavy feel (more than the ghost), exit velocities were consistently 2-4 mph lower than the Ghost Adv, and ball does not "jump" off it. Feels like your hitting a Titanium bat. None of my students that tried it liked it. Sending it back because something broke free inside the barrel. In its defense, the bat did not go through a break in period

Mantra - Bat felt ok, but it was very still at contact. It got better as it was broke in. Although the exit velocity was 1-2 mph less than the Ghost Adv., you had to have a high bat speed to get there. Had a smaller sweet spot. I have a current player still using it, but most do not like it. Although we don't use it, the Blast sensor housing fell out, a week weeks after receiving it.

Ghost DB 2022 - cracked 45 minutes into practice on the first day. Disappointing to say the least

Not being rude or snarky, just curious. What bat do y'all like?

Again, due to the slight change in ADV, it will require a few swings to get to same or better performance as the 2020.
Just like the 2022 DS, it needed a few swings to get past the 2020.
So now, take a little bp...i know you werent expecting that to be said

If I could only have one bat 22 LXT. Haven’t seen enough of Meta to put it ahead of LXT. Xeno can still get the job done against higher priced bats.

I like the 22 DS & 20, 21, & 22 Adv just don’t think the 22 Adv price point of $500. I don’t see it being better performance wise than Sluggers especially with it’s questionable durability.

Also with Ghost durability issues Easton should be paying for ALL shipping costs to & from.

By stamps I mean demo or no warranty, no return. It has all the Association stamps.

Please, Core or any other vendor, post the actual weight for each size of the new Ghost. Looking for the weight of 33/23 & 33/22 specifically.

I'll give you the weight of the 33/23 once it gets here.

I'd stay away from the drop 11's. They have always been the one with the most issues.

Hopefully she just grabbed it like that after the bunt as she was tossing the bat down.

Murphy actually teaches bunting by holding the bat that way for his players. His thought is if you are not good enough to keep your hand away from the ball you shouldn’t be playing at Bama. He wants maximum bat control.
