2019 Easton Ghost (USSSA) Fastpitch Bat Review
The 2019 Ghost USSSA Double Barrel kept the line's signature pop and feel but shipped USSSA/NSA/ISA-only, making it a travel-ball bat rather than a high school or NCAA option - and one of the heavier-swinging drop-10 Ghosts.
The Score
How we score ↗How big and forgiving the barrel is — based on barrel length, construction (one- vs two-piece, alloy vs composite), and how it plays on balls hit off the center. A primary driver of the overall score.
Raw exit velocity and distance. We use measured numbers from freely available independent testing when they exist; otherwise construction and consensus, judged against the certification’s performance ceiling. A primary driver of the overall score.
Comfort and feedback on contact — vibration dampening from the knob/connection, the sting of a stiff one-piece vs a smooth two-piece, and the sound off the barrel. A primary driver of the overall score.
How well it holds up and how the company stands behind it — documented cracking/denting reports, cold-weather behavior, and the brand’s real warranty record. Good to know, but weighted lightly in the score.
Our take on price-for-performance — the overall package weighed against its cost and what comparable bats run. Shown for context; it is NOT factored into the overall score (price changes too often and is personal).
Why this score: Still elite Ghost feel and pop, but the USSSA-only stamp narrows who can use it and the heavier swing weight costs it with younger or smaller hitters, so it sits just behind the dual-stamp Ghosts.
Our Review
The 2019 Ghost USSSA (FP19GHU10) carries the same two-piece, all-composite Double Barrel formula as the rest of the early Ghost line - a low-compression inner barrel inside a softer outer barrel, CONNEXION+ joint, XTX composite and a thin 29/32-inch Hyperskin-wrapped handle. The important distinction is certification: this version dropped the ASA/USA stamp and shipped USSSA 1.20 BPF, NSA and ISA only, so it is a travel-ball bat and is not legal for most high school or NCAA fastpitch. Players chasing the same bat for those leagues want the 2018 dual-stamp Ghost or a later dual-stamp model instead. On the field it delivers the trademark Ghost pop and clean feel, though independent swing-weight testing pegged it as one of the heavier-swinging drop-10 fastpitch bats of its year, so it rewards stronger, more developed hitters. As a closeout it is an affordable way into Ghost performance for USSSA play.
