Easton Ghost Double Barrel

No, this bat is designed to be game-ready right out of the wrapper. You do not need to spend time hitting off a tee or soft toss to break in the composite material before using it in a game.

The -8 drop weight indicates the difference between the length of the bat in inches and the weight in ounces. A -8 drop is generally considered a heavier, more powerful swing weight, making it a great choice for stronger youth players looking to drive the ball with more force.

The double barrel design creates a larger sweet spot, which allows for more forgiveness on off-center hits. Combined with the connection technology, it helps dampen vibration, resulting in a smoother, more comfortable feel through the zone.

This bat is specifically engineered for fastpitch softball. However, league regulations vary regarding bat certifications and material standards, so you should always check your specific league's rulebook to ensure this model is approved for play.

The bat comes with a premium tacky grip designed for control. If it begins to wear down or lose its tackiness over time, you can easily replace it with any standard synthetic bat tape to maintain a secure hold.
