The Easton Hype Fire aims to outshine competitors like the Louisville Slugger Meta and the DeMarini CF with its focus on a high-octane combination of power, speed, and comfort. While the Slugger Meta is known for its groundbreaking vibration-dampening system and the DeMarini CF for its balanced swing, the Hype Fire is engineered to capture the best of both worlds, adding a distinctive edge in aesthetics and ergonomic design to ignite the performance of any player looking to make a statement.


### Progression of the Easton Hype Fire Baseball Bat:


The biggest differences between the 2023 and 2024 is a redesigned TCT™ Barrel aimed at widening the sweet spot, improving off-center hits, and maximizing the overall performance area.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* My son loves the 30", 5oz Easton Fire bat. It's hot straight out of the wrapper and feels lighter than his old one. The colors are bold but the grip is great. It has a normal composite bat sound and a well-balanced swing with a lot of pop. Highly recommended.
* My son switched to Easton Hype Fire bat after being a fan of Marucci for years. He loves the huge sweet spot, lighter weight and tons of pop. According to him, it's the perfect bat for USSSA.
* I love to see the confidence this bat gives my son. He's a very strong hitter, but with this bat, I see him being more patient, trusting his swing more, and hitting harder balls. 


**CONS**



* My son used this bat for about 2-3 months before small cracks in the bat started to form. He still used it because his old bat (30-inch -8 Demarini Zoa) was broken. It is an amazing bat but it probably won't last a full season in 13U baseball because of the speed.
* My son's new bat, a 30" (-8), has a small 1/2" crack after just two sessions of coach pitch BP with around 50 hits. It's brittle and we've never used it on a tee or machine. I'm surprised at how quickly it broke.
* I wish they were made stronger. It has great pop, great swing but the durability is lacking. Our original purchase cracked in a month and our replacement cracked in 2 months.

### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts))

The Hype Fire is the hottest, lightest swinging bat right now. The swing rate is very fast. It's a balanced, two piece composite bat. The first ones that came out had some breakage issues but they are now on that bat's second gen. We've not seen any of the new ones breaking. And to top it all off, it has the coolest paint job. The flames are yellow, orange, and red. The players love that. 

Pop: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Mako

### Expert Notes
Endurance is the name of the game when it comes to Easton’s Mako bat series. Despite being discontinued in 2017, Easton Mako bats continue to sell very well in the modern market. This two-piece composite bat offers an additional jolt of pop at the plate, and its anti-vibration technology makes getting jammed a little less painful—physically, at least. The 2016 Easton Mako, in particular, has ascended into baseball bat folklore because of its neon green colorway and insane ability to demolish baseballs (although some hitters prefer the orange 2015 model, too). Considering the fantastic prices you can find Easton Mako’s listed at, it remains a top metal bat value pick.

Ghost X Hyperlite

## Easton Ghost X Hyperlite Baseball Bat

The Easton Ghost X Hyperlite series is renowned for its lightweight design—focused on providing speed and bat control for players. The Ghost X Hyperlite is a good example of the innovation, performance, and quality that has made Easton’s bats a favorite among players since 1922. With products for every level of the game, Easton continues to push the boundaries of technology and materials in their bats and other gear.

**Perfect bat for:** Younger players looking to improve bat speed with an ultra-light swing on a single composite bat.


### 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 comparison: [The Louisville Slugger Meta](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/louisville-slugger/meta/l59403&sa=D&source=docs&ust=1709920380106299&usg=AOvVaw2JXP_uUw9xsITRBt7uAr1f) and the [DeMarini CF Zen](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/demarini/cf-zen-2020/l8432&sa=D&source=docs&ust=1709920408775101&usg=AOvVaw1afX_G6VOR3SU8yRl2127-)

The Easton Ghost X Hyperlite holds its ground with its focus on lightweight design and swing speed, making it especially suitable for younger players or those looking to improve bat speed. While the Louisville Slugger Meta boasts a more advanced vibration-dampening system, and the DeMarini CF Zen offers a more balanced swing weight, the Ghost X Hyperlite excels in rapid swing speed and comfort.


### Progression of the Easton Ghost X Hyperlite series

Here is a list that details the progression of this series, highlighting the main features and advancements with each new model.

 
**2018** **-** **[Ghost X Hyperlite](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/easton/ghost-x-hyperlite/l681&sa=D&source=docs&ust=1709920236144542&usg=AOvVaw0nOBKEVKMAWHPAYKwmVL1t) (Initial Release)**

***Easton hasn't explicitly named a series as "Ghost X Hyperlite" beyond 2019, transitioning to new lines and names while keeping the core idea of innovating lightweight and high-performance bats. 


### 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.


### **Certifications**: 

USSSA, USA


### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts)) 

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.
