Great pop! Kyuss Parent

Pros: Pop , little to no vibration. Very endloaded feel to feel like a bbcor bat . My son is using bbcor bats for middle school , but wanted a usssa bat to use in 13u travel ball for more pop . He likes the pop of this bat and still feels like his bbcor bat he uses in middle school .

Cons: Short barrel . This bat has unbelievable pop , but the short barrel will tell on you when you miss the sweet spot . I think the short barrel is only on the drop 5 model of this bat .

Pros: we have only had this bat for a few weeks now. So far my son 12 year old son loves everything about it. He says it feels great and has hardly noticed the difference between the drop 10 and drop 5.

Cons: Havent had it long enough to find any cons. We have been getting a lot of swings in the batting cages and if something negative comes up. I’ll update my review.

Insane Pop Kaleb Wilkey Player

Pros: This bat is amazing. Once you break it in there is no -5 bat that can beat this monster.

Cons: The only bad thing is that you can get some stingers using this bat if it's not broken in yet.

Amazing bat for the price. Vincent Boswell Coach

Pros: This bat has such a great feel. I don't think the sweet spot is that big but it sure seems like it. My 9 year old is absolutely crushing it. The catches on his team is a big boy and is just annihilating the ball with this bat.

Cons: It is heavy so against the faster pitchers it's tough for my little guy to get it around in time so he has a lighter bat for that situation.

The Real Deal Jose Benitez Coach

Pros: Bat is very end loaded, it has a wood bat feel and design. This is as close as it gets to simulating your wood bat practices and game use bats. The pop on the bat is phenomenal. It does have a smaller barrel then most but like I said it’s true to a wood bat design. If you miss hit you week know, if you square the ball up it will reward you.

Cons: None to be frank.

Questions and Answers

Have a question about the Easton Ghost X -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: SL18GX5? Ask our team of experts and they will respond within 24 hours.

What is the difference between the 2017MAKO and 2018 Ghost? Coach
The 2018 Easton Ghost X -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: SL18GX5 is a completely re-designed bat when compared to the 2017 MAKO. This bat will feature a new connection point technology for better vibration reduction and new composite technology for a larger sweet spot.
Cameron
What is the difference between Easton's Ghost X and Ghost? matt
All 2018 Easton BASEBALL bats that are being released with the 2-piece, all-composite design (like this 2018 Easton Ghost X -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: SL18GX5) will be called the "Ghost X". Easton will be making the Ghost X for both the USSSA certification and USABat certification.
Ben
With the new bat regulations will this bat be legal for middle school and all travel baseball? Skip
The 2018 Easton Ghost X -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: SL18GX5 will be legal for travel ball, but I would verify with middle school rulings if they will allow USSSA.
Max
My grandson is 5'4" and weight is 126lbs. He is almost 13, would a 31 or 32 be better for him? He is a power hitter. Julie
Based on your player's specifications, I would recommend the 31" option of the 2018 Easton Ghost X -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: SL18GX5.
Tyler
What is the difference between the Easton SL18GX5 and the SL18GX58? ST
The difference between the 2018 Easton Ghost X -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: SL18GX5 and the 2018 Easton Ghost X -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: SL18GX58 is the barrel diameter. You have a 2 3/4" barrel diameter with the SL18GX5 and a 2 5/8" barrel diameter with the SL18GX58.
Cameron
Why is the barrel on this bat so short compared to all the other models of the Ghost X? The USSSA -8 has the long barrel. The USA version of the -5 has the long barrel as well. Why does the USSSA -5 have such a short barrel? Ryan
Unfortunately we would not know why there would be a difference in the barrel taper design of the 2018 Easton Ghost X -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: SL18GX5 compared to other models of the Ghost X.
Cameron
What is the difference between the SL18GX5 and the SL18GX58? Jim Wenzbauer
Other than the colorway, the only difference between these two models will be their barrel diameter. The 2018 Easton Ghost X -5 Senior League Baseball Bat (SL18GX5) features the larger 2 3/4" barrel diameter and the 2018 Easton Ghost X -5 Senior League Baseball Bat (SL18GX58) will have a 2 5/8" barrel diameter.
Taylor
Is it a 2 5/8"? Tom
No, the Easton Ghost X -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: SL18GX5 will incorporate a 2 3/4" barrel diameter.
Tyler
Does it say "Senior League" on the bat? Jeff
The Easton Ghost X -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: SL18GX5 is not stamped 'Senior League." This bat does however feature the USSSA/1.15 BPF thumbprint stamp.
Cameron
Is this bat legal for Cal Ripken? Melodie
No, the Easton Ghost X -5 Senior League Baseball Bat (SL18GX5) will not be approved for play in Cal Ripken. Cal Ripken will require a USA Baseball approved bat or a BBCOR.
John
Any idea if this bat being 2 3/4" barrel is approved for 13U in USSSA? timothy mcdonald
Yes, this 2018 Easton Ghost X -5 Senior League Baseball Bat (SL18GX5) is going to be approved for 13U USSSA use.
Ben
Is there a 2 5/8 version of this -5 bat? Brady Wilder
We do not have a 2018 USSSA model of the Easton Ghost X -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: SL18GX5 available in a 2 5/8'' diameter. We do have the 2019 Easton Ghost X Evolution -5 USSSA Baseball Bat: SL19GXE58 which is a 2 5/8'' barrel.
Tori
(1) What is the difference between the 2018 Mako and the 2019 Mako? (2) How long is the barrel on this bat in a 32 inch? Brett
(1) There actually was not a MAKO bat made for the 2018 or 2019 season. The bat that replaced the MAKO was the Ghost X. In 2018, the Ghost X -5 Senior League Baseball Bat (SL18GX5) was built with the two-piece, all-composite design and a 2 3/4" barrel to it. The 2019 edition had the two-piece, all-composite design. However, the 2019 comes with a smaller 2 5/8" barrel. As well, the 2019 incorporates some new anti-vibration technology in the handle and a new end-cap to improve performance. Both bats feature a weighting that will make the barrel feel heavier. (2) From the end-cap to the barrel of this Easton Ghost X -5 Senior League Baseball Bat (SL18GX5) in the 32" length, you will get a length reading of 13".
Ben
Is the barrel length of the 32" bat the same length of the barrel on the 31" bat? Joseph
The length of the barrels on the Easton Ghost X -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: SL18GX5 would be proportional, regardless of the size selected.
