DD has a 33/23 2020 Ghost Advanced and a 2022 Ghost. Both are broken. We originally bought the Advanced in Jan 2020 and Easton replaced it in Feb 2021 even though it was a few weeks out of warranty. (yay!) We bought her a 33/23 2020 Ghost as a 'practice bat' to try to keep stress off of her Advanced, and to ensure she would have a bat if she broke another one. She never leaves the bat in the cold, they are well cared for. I swear I actually sewed a padded, flannel lined bat cozy.
March 7, 2021 -> purchase
March 31 - Sept 15 -> out with ACL reconstruction
October -> broken, replaced under warranty with a 2022 Ghost
January -> broken
So...Easton is going to replace the 2022 Ghost with another 2022 Ghost. They said they really recommend she be swinging a 33/24 but they can't change the drop in a warranty replacement. They are going to replace her 33/23 with a 34/24, provided that request gets approval.
She is 14 (15 in April), 5'7", 175lb, strong (regular impressively strong, not crazy pants 'sit up and take notice' strong). She has no problem with the 33/23, but she was also swinging it well 2 years ago when she was quite a bit smaller.
Would you be okay with going to a 34/24 with her size? How would you feel about a 33/24? We aren't in a situation where she can demo bats that size.
