Worst Bat - 3 Replacements less than 2 Games Each Jeff parent

Pros: My son hasn't been able to use one long enough without cracking to determine any possible Pros.

Cons: Have had 3 replacements from Easton for my 15 year old son. Each has cracked in less than 2 games. First replacement took 6 weeks to get. Used to be a good company with a good product. I'm not sure what happened but they are now a terrible company to deal with and I will never purchase another Easton product. Extremely disappointed.

Very good bat Anthony Herrera Parent

Pros: My son has only used it in practice so far, but it's been pretty good. Has good pop when hit right. I'm a little concerned about the notch between the handle and thick part of the bat. I know it's close enough to the handle that it shouldn't be a factor but there are those inside pitches that might be a problem and it kind of scares me with the durability of it. I haven't tried tossing the sand balls because of my concern of durability.

Cons: See overall review above

end loaded Chris Parent

Pros: None

Cons: My son doesn’t like the endloaded feel. I thought it was because I moved him down to drop 8. I got him a different bat in drop 5 and he went back to crushing the ball.

Great bat! Kris Bowers Coach

Pros: Alot of bats are really expensive and I am too practical so went with this bat for my 11u son. He ended the season with 9 home runs off this bat. If you can't afford or just can't spend $350 on a bat, this is a perfect bat.

Cons: None at all

Questions and Answers

Have a question about the Easton Ghost X -8 Senior League Baseball Bat: SL18GX8? Ask our team of experts and they will respond within 24 hours.

(1) Why are Easton and others making the -8 in 2 3/4" barrel size for 2018? (2) Is the new Ghost line suppose to be more balanced and the Beast line more end-weighted? Big Daddy
(1) Although, I have not heard an exact answer, I would imagine that Easton is now making -8 bats with a 2 3/4" barrel diameter because they feel that there is strong marketability for bats made in that style. (2) The Ghost X line and Beast X line will be made in a balanced-style and end-loaded style depending upon the size of bat you are buying. This specific 2018 Easton Ghost X -8 Senior League Baseball Bat (SL18GX8) will have an end-loaded feel.
Ben
Will this bat be legal for travel ball in California? DC Tournaments, USSSA... JJ
The 2018 Easton Ghost X -8 Senior League Baseball Bat: SL18GX8 is USSSA approved, so it will be legal for travel ball under USSSA rules.
Logan
Can this bat be used at the 14u level? JAKE
Many 14U travel tournaments and organizations require the use of a -5 bat, so you would want to reach out to a local coach to see if a 2018 Easton Ghost X -8 Senior League Baseball Bat: SL18GX8 could be used.
Logan
I was wondering, is the drop 8 Easton Ghost end loaded and the drop 10 balanced swing weight? My son is 12 and 105 lbs and was swinging the old Easton MAKO 30/21. Curious on a recommendation and if there was a drop 8 balanced swing weight. Mike
The 2018 Easton Ghost X -8 Senior League Baseball Bat: SL18GX8 will feature an end-loaded swing weight design. The 2018 Easton Ghost X -10 Senior League Baseball Bat: SL18GX10, meanwhile, will feature a balanced swing weight. Most likely he would prefer a balanced swing weight but it is tough for us to say for sure. Unfortunately you cannot find a -8 balanced option.
Cameron
Is this bat legal in USSSA games? Ben
The 2018 Easton Ghost X -8 Senior League Baseball Bat: SL18GX8 is USSSA approved and will be allowed for all USSSA games.
Tyler
It says this bat features an end loaded swing weight but I was under the impression that the Ghost X was a balanced bat. Is the Ghost X end loaded? Coach Dan
The 2018 Easton Ghost X -8 Senior League Baseball Bat: SL18GX8, as well as their -5 model, will feature an end-loaded design. Anything that is lighter (-10, -11, -12) would have the balanced swing weight design.
Cameron
My son just turned 15. He is 5'8" and 125lbs. He will be playing bantam AA which is a step down from the top level. Should he swing -8 or -5? Dave Wood
With his age, most leagues require BBCOR (-3) bats. However, if it is still legal, we would suggest using the heaviest of options in a 31 inch. A suggestion would be the Easton Ghost X -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: SL18GX5.
Daveron
What is the recommended temperature range for this bat? Justin
There isn't really a set in stone temperature range that is recommended by the manufacturer's, but we here at JustBats generally suggest to try and not use your game bat once temperatures start to get around the 45-50 degree mark. The ball gets more dense in colder weather, and this is what can cause the higher risk of durability concerns. For colder temperatures, a backup bat is usually the best option if possible.
Kyle J.
Which would have more pop, the Ghost X or the Beast X? M
With the USSSA 1.15 BPF Certification Stamp it will be difficult for one bat to out perform another, because of that the Easton Ghost X -8 Senior League Baseball Bat: SL18GX8 and the Beast X will have similar off of the bat performance.
Max
My son uses a balanced 30/20 DeMarini for Little League. I think he is plenty strong enough to swing the 30/22 Easton for travel. Would switching between balanced and end loaded be detrimental to his swing and development? Jon
It would be tough to say that switching to a -8 bat would negatively impact his swing based on the player previously using a -10 model. Although the Easton Ghost X -8 Senior League Baseball Bat: SL18GX8 will feature more of an end-loaded swing weight design, the player should be fine assuming he handled his -10 bat with relative ease.
Cameron
I’m 5'10" and 180 Ibs. Would you recommend a -5 or -8? Is this bat end-loaded at all? Matt Lepel
Based on your height and weight, I would recommend a 32" length of this Ghost X. I would suggest the -5 size of bat if you can handle a 32"/27 oz size of bat. This Easton Ghost X -8 Senior League Baseball Bat (SL18GX8) and the Easton Ghost X -5 Senior League Baseball Bat (SL18GX5) will be end-loaded in their feels.
