Easton Ghost X Hyperlite Baseball Bat
The Easton Ghost X Hyperlite is a composite bat designed for young players in leagues that use USA or USSSA Baseball stamps. It’s known for its large sweet spot, thanks to the X-tended barrel design, which helps players hit the ball harder and farther. The bat also features Easton’s EXACT Carbon technology, which creates a lightweight swing weight for easier bat control and a comfortable feel. The cushioned 2.2mm FLEX grip helps to reduce vibration and improve bat control on contact.
Key features include:
| Composite Material | Utilizing Easton’s exclusive EXACT Carbon Technology, this bat offers a lightweight, yet powerful construction for maximized swing speed and power. |
| HYPERLITE Barrel Design | Optimizes the sweet spot for maximum performance across the entire barrel, allowing for quicker swings and more contact. |
| Speed Cap™ | Enhances the sound of the bat on contact, while also improving the flexibility of the barrel for a more responsive hit. |
| Lizard Skins™ Grip | Provides ultimate comfort and tack, reducing hand fatigue and improving control during swings. |
| CONNEXION+™ Technology | Delivers a seamless energy transfer, reducing vibration and improving the feel on contact. |
| Balanced Swing Weight | Ensures a smooth, easy swing ideal for developing hitters working to improve their batting technique and power. |
Top Competitors
For young baseball players the Louisville Slugger Meta, and DeMarini CF Zen are also top-tier options with large sweet spots and composite construction. While the Ghost X prioritizes a light swing for contact hitters, the Meta offers a balanced feel for all-around play. The CF Zen boasts the biggest barrel for power but might lack durability and swings a touch lighter than the Ghost X.

What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)
| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| My 8-year-old son finds the bat comfortable, well-balanced, and lightweight, with a great grip and pop. |
| My child enjoys using it. It has a satisfying sound when hit solidly, but it lacks pop due to being a USA bat. |
| A little heavy for a six-year-old, but it's a good bat for raking when choking up. Great value for closeouts! |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| After using this bat in two games, my son found it disappointing as the ball didn't travel far, likely due to its weight. |
| If you're looking for extreme pop and exit speed, this may not be the best option for you. |
| I didn't notice much of a difference in how the ball came off this bat compared to my son's $75 bat. |
This USA bat is designed for little league or a pony leagues. It won't be a very high-performance bat and, in general, is designed for safety. Typically, your little leaguer, who uses the USA stamp, is a player at an entry-level ability. With that said, the Ghost X Hyperlite was one of the best available USA bats. But any USA bat is going to be a mediocre performer overall. The Ghost X Hyperlite is very lightweight and very easy to swing. Smaller players do well with it.
