Note: The 30/20 version of the Ghost X in USA Bat has been deemed illegal. While most players will be disappointing in the general performance of EVERY USABat (especially compared to previous BPF 1.15 models) the Ghost X in a USABat has the familiar feel, sound and balance most have come to love, and are willing to pay a premium for, in the performance bat. Our 2018 Easton Ghost X USABat review comes on the heels of hours of hitting, testing, measuring and discussing the bats performance. The idea is a more durable connective piece via some redesigned innards.
Instead, it is referred to as connection+. It is no longer the CXN which has been on the MAKO since its inception. So, the 2018 Ghost X having a barrel just as big, if not ever so slightly bigger, means it is still huge.Īs well, Easton claims to have updated the connective piece. Instead, the claim is the new composite structure allows for a longer sweet spot on the same sized barrel.įor the record, the MAKO Beast had one of the largest barrels on the market in 2017. Note, this isn’t a claim the barrel is larger. The new composite structure used to design the Ghost intends to extend the length of the sweet spot. However, there are considerable upgrades to the composite structure Easton uses in the Ghost, insomuch that calling it a Mako wasn’t fair. That is, they are both two piece composite bats with a big barrel and a light swing. In terms of overall set up, the 2018 Ghost X and 2017 Mako Beast are similar.
