2018 Easton Ghost Fastpitch Softball Bat -10oz FP18GH10

The 2018 minus 10 ounce fastpitch Easton Ghost girl's softball bat brings a new meaning to "hot right out of the wrapper", as this bat truly has ZERO BREAK-IN needed, with a design that has never been seen before! The Ghost is made as a 2-piece, and the barrel-to-handle is connected with Easton's ConneXion Technology that has been redesigned to enhance the overall feel and eliminate that unwanted sting/vibration from getting to the hands. The game-changing Double Barrel Design, which combines an inner barrel with the lowest legal compression possible, along with a Soft Outer Barrel, and you have extreme pop and performance from day one! The handle and barrel are fully composite, as Easton uses "XTX" (Xtra Tough Resin Matrix), which is a first class carbon fiber composite material for a durability that lasts day in and day out. Since this bat is so hot, and due to its unique construction, it is only legal for ASA & ISF, and can be used in high school and college play.

  • Review by: Miguel
  • Pros: I got to try the 2018 Ghost bat at a demo at the batting cages when the Easton representative came out. Really good bat. Ball jumps off the barrel (barrels?). Unlike any bat I have used. It's hard to describe the feeling and the feel, but the speed at which the softball jumps off the bat is ridiculous. This is a game changing bat. I highly suggest you try it out before buying any other bats this season.

  • Pros: Great bat. Daughter and her team love it!
  • Cons: None net. My only concern would be durability of the double barrel, but it does have a one year warranty so not too worried. At least Easton honors their warranty unlike some other bat companies that will try and not give you a new bat even within warranty!

  • Pros: My daughter loves this bat! She had a USA 31/21 Ghost, and the first time she used it, she hit two triples. She had never hit a triple prior to using this bat ! She made the switch to a 32/22, and it took some time to get used to the new weight, but now she’s swinging away, and the balls are going further than ever ! My daughter is 4’11, and although the 31 was fine, she is going into high school and I felt she needed the 32. Very happy with cheapbats.com! Bat arrived on the day promised
  • Cons: None so far! I have heard that you can’t use the Ghost bats with the dimpled pitching machine balls, but have not verified this info. It would seem to me that if you’re paying 350 for about, it would be OK to use with the pitching machine. But we haven’t tested the theory yet

Looking to buy another one an inch and ounce heavier so my daughter will have it as she grows/gets stronger!!!!!

    Verified Purchaser
  • Pros: I purchased this bat in Feb. 2020 for my 15yo daughter because she liked the balance and it was on sale for $175. She is a power hitter and doesn't need the latest/greatest bat to get the job done. Her previous bat was an 2017 Easton Stealth, which she used to lead her league in extra base hits. However, I noticed right away how hot this bat was. She started hitting the ball an extra 30-40 feet and doubles and triples became home runs.
  • Cons: Bat broke after 2 weeks. Easton replaced the bat under warranty with a 2020 Ghost FP20GH10 that broke after 4 months.

  • Does this bat still have a 1 year warranty like newer Easton bats?
  • Asked by Matt
  • Yes, this bat still has a one year manufacturer warranty through Easton.
  • Answered by Kris (Bat Expert)
  • Will or has this bat be approved yet by USSSA and the others that had not approved this bat yet in May?
  • Asked by softball dad
  • Easton has not given us any indication that this bat will receive any additional certifications other than what it already has. The Easton Ghost Fastpitch FP18GH10 is currently only stamps for ASA and ISF.
  • Answered by Kevin
  • How does the weight balance of the ghost compare with the Quattro ? We know the Quattro swings like an end load as compared to a xeno which is very balanced and swings light.
  • Asked by Steve
  • The drop 10 Ghost has a balanced swing weight.
  • Answered by Kevin
  • Do you know of any place in central Ohio to demo this bat?
  • Asked by Shawn
  • Unfortunately we only have one location in Southern California and do not know of any locations in Ohio.
  • Answered by Kevin (Customer Service)
  • Will there be a 30/20 ounce or a 31/21 ounce Easton Ghost?
  • Asked by James
  • YES. We just got word they will be here about a week or so after the 32", 33", and 34" are released in June, 2017.
  • Answered by Mike (Customer Service)
  • Is the Easton Ghost approved for college play in NCAA?
  • Asked by Marl
  • The bat HAS passed the certification process and will be placed on the approved bat list on July 10th. 2017. The NCAA will also soon be posting a document that addresses the use of non-linear bats (Ghost/Xeno).
  • Answered by Mike (Customer Service)
  • What is the barrel length on the Easton ghost? And does it come in end loaded?
  • Asked by JD
  • The Easton Ghost barrel length will be between 12 inches and 13.5 inches... depending on bat length.
    The minus 10 ounce Ghost is balanced. The minus 9 ounce Easton Ghost will have an end load.
  • Answered by Easton Sports
  • What is the difference between a double wall and double barrel bat, like the ghost?
  • Asked by Eleven
  • Other bats can be called "double wall", but only the Ghost is a "double BARREL". Double wall bats are a bat with a sleeve inserted inside the normal barrel. The two pieces are touching and mostly together. The Ghost is the first and only softball bat where the two pieces are actually separated and NOT touching along the length of the barrel. This is a big deal because this allows Easton to make the outer barrel super flexible (think of the first barrel as a trampoline). The inner barrel is more stiff, and it keeps the bat legal for play (and safe for the fielders). In a nutshell, the Ghost will make the softball come off the bat at closer to the maximum allowable performance... Even when you don't square the ball up perfectly.
  • Answered by Julie (Customer Service)
  • Will a Easton Ghost minus 11 ever come out?
  • Asked by Jay
  • We have not heard of a -11 ounce Easton Ghost yet. My personal opinion is we will see one for the 2019 Easton Fastpitch bat line, but that is 100% an educated guess on my part.
  • Answered by Mike (Customer Service)
  • Is the 2018 Ghost bat legal for high school play?
  • Asked by Mike R
  • Yes. If your high school plays with ASA rules (they likely do) the 2018 Fastpitch Ghost is legal for play in high school softball.
  • Answered by Mike (Customer Service)
  • Have you guys hit the Ghost fastpich bat yet? If so, how did you like it?
  • Asked by Karl
  • Yes! And we absolutely loved it. We will post more videos/photos/blogs when we get more in stock. The Easton Ghost is a game changer. Look for it to take over the fastpitch world.
  • Answered by Cameron
  • Why is this bat not approved for NSA or USSSA? My daughter can't use it if it's not approve for those two organizations.
  • Asked by Richard
  • As of May 22nd, 2017, the 2018 Easton Ghost Fastpitch softball bat has not yet passed the certification test for those yet. They hope to pass soon, but as for now it is an ASA and ISF only bat.
  • Answered by Mike (Customer Service)
  • Thinking about getting this bat for my sister. She's plays high school softball here in TX. Would she be able to use this bat ?
  • Asked by Jerry
  • Most high school play in the United States is governed by ASA standards. If her school falls under ASA rules, then the Ghost is legal for her to use.
  • Answered by Mike (Customer Service)

GHOST BAT FACTS & CERTIFICATION

 

  • The 2018/2019 Ghost bat is ASA/ISF certified only and will remain that way

 

  • The ASA Ghost Launch was 6/16/17

 

 

  • The Ghost bat has been certified for NCAA play, under ASA Rules, and was placed on the approved list of bats July 10, 2017

 

  • Easton as of 2018 has a Ghost model that is approved for USSSA play. A new model with both ASA and USSSA stamps will be introduced in the middle of 2019 as a 2020 Easton Ghost Fastpitch Softball Bat.

 

 

GHOST BAT PERFORMANCE

 

  • If you play under ASA rules, you will want to have the Ghost because it was built specifically for the ASA certification (98MPH) – there is no better ASA bat for feel, sound and performance (aka, pop)!

 

  • Every level of hitter will experience success with the Ghost due to its unique double barrel construction, and specifically due to the industry’s lowest compression of the outer barrel.

 

  • Older/stronger players can compress the outer barrel to the point where it collides with the inner barrel, achieving max performance right up to the point of the 98MPH certification limit.

 

  • Younger players will also benefit from the double barrel construction. The Ghost’s super low compression will allow the younger player to generate trampoline off the barrel just like the older/stronger player, maximizing her power potential on every swing yet always staying within the 98MPH certification limit.
