The Ghost X Evolution is part of Easton's prestigious line of composite baseball bats. Building on the innovations introduced by its predecessors like the Easton MAKO, Easton delivers an enhanced performance and feel to youth and adult baseball players alike. Crafted with Easton's EXACT™ Carbon composite material, the Ghost X Evolution combines speed, power, and precision. It's designed for hitters who want superior energy transfer and reduced vibration. The Easton Ghost X Evolution is the embodiment of Easton's dedication to helping players of all levels unlock their potential and achieve peak performance.

### Top competitors comparison: [Louisville Slugger Meta](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/louisville-slugger/meta/l59403) and the [DeMarini CF Zen](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/demarini/cf-zen-2020/l8432)

  

Against leading competitors like the Louisville Slugger Meta and the DeMarini CF Zen, the Easton Ghost X Evolution excels with its advanced EXACT™ Carbon composite and Dynamic Feel System™ technology, delivering unmatched barrel performance and reduced vibration. While the Meta emphasizes its three-piece design for swing speed and the CF Zen highlights flexibility and balance, the Ghost X Evolution distinguishes itself with superior energy transfer and a high-performance grip.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**

-   I bought the Easton Ghost bat (28/18) for my 7-year-old son, who plays kid pitch. It's great! No vibration, excellent pop. He's excelled in batting since he started using it. Worth the cost. Highly recommended!
    
-   Bought the 29-inch version instead of the 28-inch for my 8-year-old. It makes a cracking sound, but he hits 20 feet further with it than his old bat. No vibration issues yet. Overall, a solid bat.
    
-   My 11-year-old son loved this bat. He used it in a tournament right out of the package and almost all of his team used it too. They scored 19 runs in that game.
    

**CONS**

-   Bought for 9-year-old. Looks cool but has a small sweet spot and hand vibrations. Decent pop, but needs 100 swings to break in."
    
-   Prices do NOT align with quality.
    
-   I bought the X-Evolution baseball bat on sale for my son, but it never performed well. Hits only made it to the infield, and there's a dead spot in the barrel's last 3-4 inches. This makes it challenging to hit outside pitches.
    

  
  

### Certification: USA, USSSA

### Expert Notes ([Tony from BatExperts](https://sidelineswap.com/batexperts))

The Ghost X Evolution is a two piece composite bat. It’s one of the better Little League bats of 2019 because it has a lighter weight and is easy to swing. In the USA marketplace, it was probably one of the better bats. It has a cool paint job, which is attractive for a Little Leaguer, where looks can often be more of a consideration than performance.

## Marucci CAT Baseball Bat



The Marucci CAT is a bat designed for superior performance straight out of the wrapper. Engineered with a precision-balanced and ring-free barrel construction, the CAT series allows for maximum swing speed, control, and an expanded sweet spot for a more forgiving hit. From its ultra-responsive alloy to its ergonomically designed handle, every aspect of the Marucci CAT has been crafted to elevate a player's game and provide comfortable contact at the plate.

 
**Perfect bat for:** Young players looking for modern performance and extra comfort on contact. 



### Key features include: 




* **AZ105** Super Strength Aluminum Alloy:** Offers a thinner barrel wall for a higher response rate and increased durability.
* **Multi-Variable Wall Design:** Expands the sweet spot and reduces dead spots for more consistent performance across the barrel. 

**Anti-Vibration Knob:** Provides a better feel and reduces negative vibrational feedback to the hands, ensuring comfortable swings.
* **Precision-Balanced Barrel:** Results in a lower M.O.I. and balanced feel for precision and control.
* **Ring-Free Barrel Construction:** Allows for more barrel flex and increases performance without "dead" spots.
* **Micro-Perforated Soft-Touch Grip:** Enhances comfort and tack, promoting better control and reducing hand fatigue during swings.
* **One-Piece Alloy Construction:** Delivers a clean, consistent, traditional feel with built-in durability and performance.



### Top competitors comparison: [DeMarini CF](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/demarini/cf-20/l59398) and [Louisville Slugger Meta](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/louisville-slugger/meta/l59403)

Compared to leading competitors like the DeMarini CF and Louisville Slugger Meta, the Marucci CAT series distinguishes itself with its one-piece alloy construction and AZ105 Super Strength Aluminum Alloy, which offers hitters a traditional, yet highly responsive feel. While the DeMarini CF is known for its two-piece composite design that emphasizes flexibility and feel, and the Louisville Slugger Meta prides itself on its three-piece composite build for balance and speed, the Marucci CAT excels in delivering direct feedback, explosive power, and a classic feel, making it a solid choice for players who appreciate the simplicity and effectiveness of alloy bats.

###  What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* This bat is one of the best options available for young players. It is USA-regulated and commonly used in little league. It offers excellent control and feel and has a large sweet spot for hitting home runs.
* I bought a new bat for my son a month ago since he had outgrown his old one. The new bat is longer and heavier, and he's happy with it. His game has improved since he started using it.
* Marucci's bat is lightweight, durable, and has an old-school sound when solid contact is made. My son has been hitting great with it.

**CONS**



* I like Marucci bats, but this is the 3rd time I've bought one that's heavier than listed. Bought a 28" 17 oz 2022 USA Cat for my 8 y/o son, but it weighed 19.3 oz. Will keep trying with Marucci, but they all tend to be heavier than listed.
* Purchased a 29” 18oz. bat, but it weighed 20.3 oz.
* I bought this product for my son and when I asked him to rate it, he gave it four stars. He explained that he didn't give it five stars because he feels too much vibration upon hits and it doesn't have the best pop.


### **Certification**: USA


### Expert Notes ([Tony from BatExperts](https://sidelineswap.com/batexperts))

The Marucci CAT is designed for Little League. It has that USA stamp, which means it has a lightweight feel and good control. The CAT has an affordable price point, so it won't break the bank. A lot of parents get this bat specifically because it's a quality bat with a good bang for the buck.  


Pop: ⭐⭐⭐

Durability: ⭐⭐⭐

Vibration: ⭐⭐⭐

Velo

### Expert Notes
The longest lasting metal bat series on the market is still at its peak. Rawlings legendary Velo series returned in 2022, with a Velo ACP release that I’ve heard hitters say offers unparalleled balance at the plate. Over time, the Rawlings Velo series has evolved by incorporating the ACP (Accelerated Carbon Performance) line that adds extra carbon in the barrel, which we’ve heard does a lot to increase pop. While Velo’s aren’t the best looking bats you’re going to find, they make up for the plainness with top-notch performance. Rawlings’ resilient Velo series should continue to be a favorite for hard-nosed hitters who prefer production over flash.
