2022 Easton Ghost; Is This Cracked?

Kinda sucks fashion...hahaha. Although adults can get it to fly a little on their last leg. But takes a while to get it to
that last leg

It turns out that the strings of carbon fibers on the composite matrix make for strong legs.

Im tellin ya...seen some bats take forever to even have the crack get bigger.
Thats what always made me laugh when people see a little mark and get all worried. Just hit it.

I can picture a video with a parent trying to make the composite bat break. Swinging it viciously, standing on one end while tugging on the handle, etc. etc.

with DDs old 2019 ghost, I tried very unsuccessfully after we saw cracks (out of warranty period ) to induce a catastrophic failure, ie I swung it full bore at a corner of dumpster next door (construction going on, still going on). utter failure, she could probably still use it (some shark tooth cracks, dumpster swings did nada)

My DD took many hundreds of swings in the course of a week for my DD to get her GA from significant crack to final failure, with full intent to break the thing in half on every swing. It turns out that taking a crap-ton of swings is also good for hitting performance. She was on fire at the plate for the next couple of weeks.

With some of these posts, maybe some of the worry can be stopped about the barrel just flying off
because someone sees a mark on the bat

I must be the exception to the rule, because after several good hard cracks at the dumpster, my hitting went from nonexistent . . to nonexistent

But your wrists probably felt great though...hahaha
