The 2018 Easton Ghost X Hyperlite USSSA version delivered the same ultra-light swing weight without USA's performance restrictions. This one-piece composite became a favorite for young travel ball players prioritizing bat speed.
Models Overview
Built with Easton's CXN Evolution composite, the USSSA Hyperlite came in -11 and -12 drops for maximum swing speed. The extended barrel length created a massive sweet spot while keeping the overall weight minimal.
Construction & Technology
The 2018 Easton Ghost X Hyperlite is a USSSA certified bat made of a single piece of composite. This gives it a remarkably sitff feel. As well, the drop 12 makes it an ultra light swing. Expect a bat that feels like a twig but with a good sized barrel that looks great.
Comparable Bats
The most comparable bat to the Hyperlite is likely the 2017 Catalyst. Both are single piece composites that come in a drop 12. Otherwise, look for an older model in the Combat Maxum line that had a few years of a drop 12 single piece composite.
