The 2023 Easton Ghost Unlimited is a single-piece composite fastpitch bat built around Easton’s double-barrel concept in a unified design. It delivers elite exit speeds, a massive sweet spot, and hot performance out of the wrapper. While it was introduced with hopes of improving durability over earlier Ghost models, real-world use has shown that performance remains the headline feature, not longevity.
Models Overview
The Ghost Unlimited lineup is available in drops -10, -9, and -8, with the drop -10 standing out as the most popular and best-performing option. All versions are approved for major fastpitch associations and maintain the same single-piece double-barrel construction.
Construction & Technology
A single-piece composite bat using Easton’s double-barrel design, where an inner and outer composite barrel work together to maximize trampoline effect across a longer hitting area. The Unlimited also features Easton’s Power Boost soft knob for comfort and leverage. Compared to two-piece Ghost models, the feel is more unified and smooth, with less handle flex.
Performance Comparison
The 2023 Ghost Unlimited was the first single-piece double-barrel Ghost. While it differs structurally from the Ghost Advanced, overall performance output is similar. Durability improvements over two-piece Ghost models have been modest rather than transformative.
Comparable Bats
Comparable fastpitch bats include the Easton Ghost Advanced, the Louisville Slugger LXT, and the Marucci Echo DMND series. Among these, the Ghost Unlimited offers some of the highest raw performance, but also carries the highest risk profile.
Overall grade: B+
Overall grade: A
Overall grade: A-
The Bottom Line
The 2023 Ghost Unlimited delivered on performance expectations but did not fully solve the durability concerns associated with the Ghost line. It remains one of the most dangerous bats in the fastpitch game, but it is not a worry-free choice.
