hey guys i just wanted to let people know after watching this vid I was sure on the ghost but we went to a place where they let you try out the bat in a cage I tried the ghost cf zen and prism I hated the ghost then I tried the prism but when I tried the cf zen I feel I gave pop everywhere but the prism I feel like I had to hit it just right so I left with the zen to try a bat if you can before making an expensive decision I left with the bat I thought I would hate
Adam Evans from a visual stand point I thought the first round went to the Ghost, but the second round went to the Prism. This may be attributed to the fact both of these girls were used to the End Loaded feel of the Ghost but not the extreme balance of the Prism. I think the 2nd round they adjusted a little better to the Prism. Thanks for watching
great review, honestly. I loved both of the bats, and correct me if I am wrong, the ghost hit better. These are two expensive bats, and obviously your want to make the right decision. I feel that it doesn't matter how these tow laddies preformed, because they are clearly advanced. It matters how my child hit, so I think that next time have a mix of levels. Like same team, but get a slapper or a base hitter. LIKE IF YOU AGREE
I play 12u and I have the prism and it may be just me but I have always been a demotion person and this prism and the new 2021 the prism plus one also have worked amazing for me but it really depends on who is using it and your mechanics.
Is the Prism similar to the Louisville Slugger LXT, and do you assume it will be similar to the Ghost Advanced coming out in August? I can buy the 2019 LXT for $199 less than the 2020 Prism. My daughter is leaning toward the Prism, and I wonder if it is worth it for such a price difference.
Mer H the Prism is a completely different technology and balance. I think the Prism is worth the money if you are looking for a well balanced bat. Something more top heavy, I would go with the Ghost
For me I have found the prism to be better if you are a line drive hitter and the ghost to be better if you are a power hitter. Both are good bats but you have to know your type of swing first. You should also swing both bats before you buy anything to see if you like the feel if one better.
Yung Hawk we understand that. Actually to be fair to the Prism, neither Ghost should be compared to it because it’s multi Stamped and the Ghosts are not. Thanks for watching.
my daughter is 10 and just went through her second ghost. So we are going with the prism based on that. A 10 year old should not break 2 bats in a year
Did you weigh the bats before you started? I just bought my daughter a 33/23 Ghost, but it actually weighed in at 24 3/8 oz. 🤔 One of her old Demarini's weighed in at more than an ounce under what it was supposed to be, and it broke in about a month. It sure seems like the quality control is lacking at the Chinese factory all these bats are made at. Also, I've always heard that the ASA Ghost is hotter than the USSSA Ghost.
I had a fairly early (blue) ghost. It weighed almost 2 oz over! Was very poppy, but cracked within 2 weeks. Only swung by my power-hitting 8 yr old daughter. Every demarini ive weighed was dead on. Our lxt is almost an oz over, but with a thick tapered grip.
We opted to do just feel and performance with live pitching. Future testing may incorporate exit speeds, but we here at The Bat Guru feel just plain feel and visual performance are sometimes best. Thanks for watching.
i just came here because my daughter has gone through 2 ghosts. Not going with that bat again! My son is older and has played high level travel as well as school ball and never had a bat break or crack like that ghost my 10 year old daughter had
James Tate they do Market the two that way but the -10 Ghost definitely is more top heavy than most other -10’s. Don’t have to be labeled as end loaded to have a heavier swing weight.
my daughter has a CF9, Ghost and Xeno all 32-22. The Xeno by far feels heavier and endloaded and my daughter can't swing it worth a plug nickle. The Ghost she loves and swings good. The CF9 feels the lightest of the 3 but the ghost doesn't feel endloaded. The Xeno feels more endloaded
@@jamestate5059 My oldest had a 31/20 Zeno that felt like an adult's bat weight & end load balance wise. Youngest has a 31/21 Demarini CF you'd think was a drop -12 if you grabbed them back to back. The discs inside Zeno's is an anchor for smaller girls but for bigger ones it's a hammer!
Well, if we're nitpicking mechanics here. The most obvious problem is that Kell is dropping her hands and has a long swing. But they both CRACK! Thanks for doing this. Great review.
I pick up equally hot bats on Ebay all the time from $70-$130. The great part is if you don't like it, you can sell it for about the same price. Not much lost.
There’s a reason most college teams use the ghost....been to several different usssa events with all different age groups.... the ghost bat is very popular and performs better than any I’ve seen... Time to go ahead and get us one
Michael Jones most college girls do not use the Easton Ghost. They use the DeMarini which is Wilson who also makes the Louisville LXT and of course all of the DeMarini brands which also include the Prism. Also when you see an entire team using the same bats it just means that there could be sponsor involved.
Kell has scarred that man's soul with that middle shot
Funny enough it was her Dad pitching to her😜
@@TheBatGuru I can relate. My daughter would have took my head off two weekends ago if the net wasn't there lol
Wish you wouldn’t of edited out the balls landing....how far this balls are traveling is most important in this observation...thanks

My daughters' brand new 2020 Ghost is sitting in her high school locker room 😢

The CF-Zen and CF-9 are great durable bats.
Great video. Waiting to see your videos on the ghost advanced bat. 👍🏽👍🏽
It was hard to see in the video, so I would like to know which bat the Bat Guru thought was performing best....?

1jj
I just bought the prism and the ghost and they work so well!

Can you explain?
Very nice swings on the 2 young ladies

They are so different! Have u swung both? The prism and ghost are both double barrel
For me I have found the prism to be better if you are a line drive hitter and the ghost to be better if you are a power hitter. Both are good bats but you have to know your type of swing first. You should also swing both bats before you buy anything to see if you like the feel if one better.
Ali agree with all of your points and we have found the same results. Thanks for watching our channel
Sounds it's a Ford Chevy thing
swamped45 yep. Thanks for watching
Nice swings, ladies!!!
Are these brand new bats? From personal experience Demarinis take about 500-1000 hits to be broken in
Yes, they were both brand new
How did they end up liking the prism in the long run? I heard they take awhile to break in
I have the 2020 prism and it is the best bat I have ever used. Either way they hit amazingly
Great video! Thanks Guru! Way to hit it Kel and Mo!
I was wondering about the best place to buy a used bat? 2 girls playing 10&under
sorry but those girls DO NOT look 12 I'm 13 and like half their size
You have to use the ASA Ghost. The USSSA Ghost is not as hot.
Yung Hawk we understand that. Actually to be fair to the Prism, neither Ghost should be compared to it because it’s multi Stamped and the Ghosts are not. Thanks for watching.
looks hard to hit with the prisim
i’ve heard good reviews about the prism but a lot of terrible ones so i ordered the 2020 easton ghost and i’m so excited
Softball Player 19 that’s great. Both bats have turned out to be really good (my daughter loves her Prism). I think you will like the Ghost.
The Bat Guru so i got the bat but haven’t got a chance to use it but i think i’ll love it
my daughter is 10 and just went through her second ghost. So we are going with the prism based on that. A 10 year old should not break 2 bats in a year
If the pitches were faster these girls would hit much better.

We didn’t scale weigh them. We have heard the Ghost bats have been off (especially the Gold). Swing weight is very different between these two.
I had a fairly early (blue) ghost. It weighed almost 2 oz over! Was very poppy, but cracked within 2 weeks. Only swung by my power-hitting 8 yr old daughter.
Every demarini ive weighed was dead on. Our lxt is almost an oz over, but with a thick tapered grip.
What about exit average exits speed data?
We opted to do just feel and performance with live pitching. Future testing may incorporate exit speeds, but we here at The Bat Guru feel just plain feel and visual performance are sometimes best. Thanks for watching.
They both have the same sound.
Reborn Salvage Co. we thought the same thing
That seems like such a tiny field from this view. How far is the fence?
185 all the way around
The Bat Guru oh okay. Thanks! Those girls have some power!
Breyer Lane thanks. They were my 3 and 4 hole hitters on our team. Both great hitters.
Ppl just do your research....
The Prism is the worst bat Demarini makes.
Good job coaches
are all the ghost's broken?
i just came here because my daughter has gone through 2 ghosts. Not going with that bat again! My son is older and has played high level travel as well as school ball and never had a bat break or crack like that ghost my 10 year old daughter had
Great bat review.
Thanks for watching
The -10 ghost balanced. The -9 is endloaded. Not sure why everyone says all ghost are endloaded
James Tate they do Market the two that way but the -10 Ghost definitely is more top heavy than most other -10’s. Don’t have to be labeled as end loaded to have a heavier swing weight.

I know this is about the bat but looks like Mo stops her swing
🤔. Will take a look at that.
@@TheBatGuru like she's not getting extension
Well, if we're nitpicking mechanics here. The most obvious problem is that Kell is dropping her hands and has a long swing.
But they both CRACK! Thanks for doing this. Great review.
shugertits thanks for watching
Can I get one of those bats? Lol I’m poor
ikr me and my dad went to a bat store and the prism bat was $325 (WAY TO EXPENSIVE)
Emersyn Manning lol I feel bad just buying a 70 dollar one 😞
I pick up equally hot bats on Ebay all the time from $70-$130. The great part is if you don't like it, you can sell it for about the same price. Not much lost.
If you have a store near you that sells used equipment you might be able to find an older one. I just got my first Demarini bat today for $50.
Prism ever open up ?
Not sure what you mean? Thanks for watching .
@@TheBatGuru He's talking about the bat performing better once it's broken in more.
They ain't no 12 year olds
Natalie Fett yep, both of them born in 2007.
@@TheBatGuru oh ok, they are very good hitters

Michael Jones also the bat doesn’t make the ball travel it’s the hitter!! All the bats have the same technology it’s really just someone’s preference.
just checking back. It didn't last did it? My daughter is 10 and hers cracked and the conection piece seperated from the barrel
(no offennse)
Hey hey hey man I'm the only mo in the world she took my nickname in 14 already she took me name lol😂 JK
