2019 Easton Ghost Double Barrel Review

In terms of a high end bat with a heavy swing weight and a smooth connection point, we think Slugger's PXT is a legit comparable model. The barrels, feel and swing weight are identical. Both also have the shortest barrels of the class we measured. Not identical is the price. The PXT runs $50 MSRP higher than the Ghost Double Barrel. As well, the PXT barrel profile is a tiny bit smaller than the Ghost Double Barrel. Both the bats come in a drop of 9 and 10. (Granted, the drop 9 is actually the 2018 Ghost Double Barrel that is NOT USSSA certified). But, only the Ghost comes in the drop 11 while the PXT comes in a drop 8. The barrel constructions on the bats are quite different. The Ghost uses a double-barrel design (hence the name) while the PXT is a ring-free bat (meaning they don't use any rings in the bats. Easton didn't invent the idea of a double-barrel for a fastpitch bat, but they are sticking with it for the Ghost. If you are looking for another double-walled fastpitch bat, like the Ghost, then check out the new 2019 Prism from DeMarini.
