Great Bat! David J parent
Pros: Great feel! We just went from a 30 20 -10. New Bat rule. We went to the 30 25 -5. I was a little worried about the extra 5 ounces and load at end, but wow! He began swinging the bat beautifully (a little slower) but ok. He just went 3/3 in Fall Ball and if you connect, that ball is gone!!!
Cons: N/A!
Not Good... Mike coach
Pros: The best of the bunch I guess
Cons: Stings the hands, no jump off the bat, inferior to USSSA. These new rules are awful. I honestly may get my son a wood bat to use instead.
King of Sting! Carlos parent
Pros: well balanced, looks good, no issues with durability so far.
Cons: Vibrates on hands and stings a lot when hit on the sweet spot. Sting wearing away as my son uses the bat. Must use batting gloves to decrease the sting on hands.
Good bat Patrick parent
Pros: Generally not an Easton fan and not a fan of multi-piece bats. But it appears they are using some of the tech they got by purchasing Combat to extend the bat length and there is minimal whipping action on this 2 piece version....which can be a problem for kids with fast swing speeds on other 2 or 3 piece bats. No, the ball not going as far as a USSSA bat, but it still goes plenty far. And that has zero to do with this bat, so not logical to rate this bat low because of it. And any parent that thinks they should just go wood bat is not being rational. The ball is still leaving the bat with a lot more velocity than it will off a wood bat. Only reason to go wood is if you play in wood leagues or want to save money. My son feels this bat feels quite balanced and not end weighted and felt zero sting. Not sure why others are getting sting. But we used it in rather cold weather (50's) and still no sting. Sweat spot is very similar to Combat, which is a compliment.
Cons: The price. Very expensive bat.
Ghost X-5 is "Da Bomb" Tony Daicar - Parent/Coach coach
Pros: Packs a huge punch. Our team is lucky enough to have 2 Ghost-Xs that the kids share. We have my son's 32" -5 and -8 and a -11. Everyone has one that fits their swing. This team is made up of '04 kids (13-14). The 32" -5 is fantastic for him and one other kid as they are the two biggest kids. Not for everyone as it is a heavy bat but if the kid can handle it 5*. The ball flies off it when you barrel it up!
Cons: It is a huge weapon in the 32" -5. Just make sure your kid can swing it easily because it is a lot of money to waste.
Bad Bat Joey Gayle coach
Pros: No issues with durability.
Cons: No pop compared to USSSA. Anyone confused on what to buy- Only buy USAbats if you HAVE to!
travesty jim a coach
Pros: doesnt break
Cons: terrible in every other respect, no pop, no balance.....your kid is better off using a wet 2x4 to hit with.....the worst i have seen out of the new reg bats. We have purchased a lot of easton gear over the years but this is highway robbery.....truly a bad bat.
heyyyyyy jmal Player
Pros: good at hitting ground balls
Cons: it has alot of vibration and has a small sweet spot

Is the Easton Ghost X USA constructed the same as the Easton Ghost X USSSA? Ron
So this bat does not have the 1.15 BPF stamp? Is the USA stamp replacing that? Or do you know if there are still leagues requiring the 1.15 stamp also? MJ
Is this bat dixie approved? melanie j
Is this bat legal for the Pony Division (13-14years old) in Pony Baseball, or do you have to swing a BBCOR? Rob
My son has to use an USA bat this season. He wants a 30/25 (-5) to help him "hit as far" as his current USSSA 30/22 and 29/21 Easton bats. He is only 4'7" and 75lbs but he thinks he can handle this step up to a drop -5; will this help him make up the difference in distance that he will lose by going from the USSSA to the USA standard? Is this too big of a step for him? Any guidance will be helpful, thanks! Ed Ed-USA bummed
Is there a "USA" bat made in the USA? bill
I'm looking at the Ghost X -5 and -8 bats for my son who will be 12 in the spring. He's 5'8" and weighs 130 lbs. His swing has good speed and power. Would you expect much difference in perceived power between the -5 and -8 bats? How would they compare in performance to the -10 bat? Erik
Is this bat considered BBCOR and accepted for middle school play? eddie
What size barrel is this bat? matt ondulich
My son is 5"4' and 175 lbs, used a -10 31/21 last year. With the new bats I'm totally lost on what to purchase this year, any suggestions? Double Trouble
What is the BPF on this bat? KC
Is this the best USA bat or just preference? CC
My son is 13 and weighs 146 and is 5' 6". He is moving from a wood bat league to a drop 5 or BBCOR drop 3 league. He will in this league for 1 year and then will move to BBCOR drop 3. Please let me know the best bat and size for him. Would the Omaha Ghost X -5 be a good bat? Kane
