Demarini Prism Plus vs Easton Ghost Advanced review and comparison with exit velo

[@JoshuaCart86]

I've got a 16u and now an 8u daughter and your videos have helped us so much making decisions about bat purchases. You know how expensive these things are, so I thank you for the time and effort you put in on these videos. I hope you are able to make some money off of these videos, you deserve it! Keep fighting the good fight!!

[@fabjunkie4229]

Thanks man. Thanks for watching, and the feedback. Share it for me. Help spread the word. Don't forget to subscribe 😉

[@Accurize2]

Limit the wordiness of into to the review. Edit it down to get straight into what we all came to see. Clean and concise is the key. Thanks for the review nonetheless! Edit: The players' description/opinion of each bat was fantastic however. (That's not what I'm talking about above.)

[@adamholsomback3196]

Another great video...I always look forward to your post. My 10U has swung the Prism and its not bad and it is durable. Her 2 hardest hits ever, a Prism & Ghost. I also bought the Marruci Echo Connect after watching, went out the first tourney and batted .875 on the day only getting out when she hit out switch hitting. She's more of a contact hitter so no shots yet, but it's hot as well just like your vids say and several girls swing her Marucci now...Lol...Keep up the good work and thanks.

[@fabjunkie4229]

That's awesome. I'm glad I could turn you on to a great product. The rest of the team will see it now too.

[@ScenicWanders]

I've ordered this bat for myself after using a teammates 2020 prism. Looking forward to breaking it in. Love your helpful vids. From a softball player in Australia

[@fabjunkie4229]

Holy smokes, AUSTRALIA!!!! That's awesome. Thank you for watching and thanks for the feedback.

[@markgrano8125]

Last year I purchased the Marucci Echo Diamond. This year I picked up the Prisim. She has the Ghost as well 🤣

[@shugertits]

Yes! Love the small manufacturer stuff. And yes your content absolutely helps. Best fastpitch bat reviews on youtube. I've turned a few dads onto your channel. And if you're taking requests, add Anderson, and Warstic to the list. Giveaway? I know a girl who goes through bats, like I go through underwear.

[@fabjunkie4229]

Check the channel. I already did them both. Thank you for the support.

[@tatert.v.9908]

awe man if we win the monsta hype bat that would be awesome!!We cant wait till the giveaway!! Ot would save me another $350 and be able to see if its good. Also heck we would send you a bat back for you to make co tent with. We have the cf, the old blue easton ghost 2018 version the one that is banned. And the other bat we have u just did in this video so but yea man hope we win got our fingers crossed!! Thanks for the content and the opportunity!!

[@Codyl744]

Girls just love the sound of the Ghosts. I will never waste money on one, not unless they give a better warranty. Just not worth it.

[@fabjunkie4229]

True, and I agree. However, I think the tide is turning a lil bit. There are some really good, even better, bats than the Ghost out there. Some open minded folks are really starting to see that.

[@jayflores4336]

My girls swing a custom Prism+ and they absolutely love it. So much that 3 more Prism+‘s joined the team, lol. These are 8u girls

[@fabjunkie4229]

When my daughter played 8u-10u. Until the white Ghost came along, everybody swung Demarini. They had the fastpitch market cornered. They still make a great product.

[@Athletesperformance1]

Just bought the 2023 Prism on Bat Day for 199 lets GO

[@fabjunkie4229]

Nice score

[@charlieterzano4833]

Have you gotten to try the 2023 prism ? Any improvement on previous models?

[@fabjunkie4229]

No, I haven't gotten my hands on one of those yet.

[@duanemcquillin9343]

Great Review……as a high school coach where we use bats day in and day out Demarini’s are the best value. They perform and they last. I really don’t understand the Ghost hype. The best team on the planet (OU) swings Mantra’s. We have one and it’s the favorite. Keep up the great work!

[@fabjunkie4229]

Thank you for the feedback, and thanks for watching. Don't forget to subscribe 😉. Also, OU is a Rawlings team. They are required to swing them. Still not bad bats tho. I noticed Alo went back to the Quattro against TX.

[@butchgreene]

Rawlings bats are made by Easton.

[@fabjunkie4229]

No, now Rawlings owns Easton. So, I guess technically Rawlings makes Easton. I would imagine the manufacturing process hasn't changed. Just the rich folks getting richer.

[@JR-mj8mq]

@@fabjunkie4229 And someone bought out DeMarini a number of years back...can't remember if it was Rawlings or maybe Wilson.

oh also we just got the louisville slugger black flame pitching machine in today and its freaking sweet man it throws pretty fast and its only $200.

That's awesome. Glad it worked out for you.

[@SuperWildmen]

Will you be comparing some Mizunos too in the future?

[@fabjunkie4229]

Yessir, the power carbon is on my list. I think that's thier newest bat. I could be wrong though.

[@tatert.v.9908]

it definitely is a cooler looking bat thats for sure. We have the prism plus but havent had much time to use it yet. im still gonna get a monsta hype too tho. We also just sold our lxt. We still have the cf( does blast the ball pretty good too ) and the ghost as well. But i tried a cheaper bat too its the easton fire fly u may wanna get that one just to see if easton $199 bat is just as good as their $450 bat i have a feeling it is cus we have it and the ball jumps off it. you should try cus you have the pocket radar. Cool video man i was watching ur war machine video and your sxs video too. keep it up.But yea if you can get ahold of a xeno thag would be interesting to see against the ghost as well.

[@fabjunkie4229]

What size it that CF? What year is it? You want to sell it? I need one for a video.

[@tatert.v.9908]

It is 2021 and its a 30 -20 yea possibly might. would sell id have to check with my daughter but if not i could maybe let ya borrow it im right here in michigan if i remember correctly your in ohio.

[@fabjunkie4229]

I'm in TN, but im looking for a 31/21. Thanks tho.

@@fabjunkie4229 Dang dude we were just in gatlinburg and pigeon forge not to long ago!! i love Tennessee!! Yea no worries plus you might as well try to get the new black one anyways. Appreciate ya bro!! talk to ya on the next one!!

[@Aburgl]

That pop the prism has makes it sound as if its broken 😳 is it really worth it?

[@fabjunkie4229]

I was surprised by the performance of the Prism. I think its a good bat. Especially since you can find them used all over Facebook for 1-150 bux

[@kylem.4151]

My daughter was swinging a 31” -11 prism hitting bombs and switched to a 32” -10 ghost advanced now her hitting has decreased. Do you think a 32” -11 would be a better fit ? she’s turning 12 and the chart said a 32” -10 but I feel like she’s not hitting as good with it.

[@fabjunkie4229]

I've never been one to agree with any chart or graph as far as bat size goes. I tend to lean more towards going up late rather than early.

[@kylem.4151]

All her coaches keep saying if she can swing it let use it. I just think the bats a little too much since her hitting distance has decreased.

[@fabjunkie4229]

I think that's a decision you and her will have to make. Ultimately yall are the ones who have to accept the results, good or bad, with the decision.

[@mightymite3958]

I've been searching for a review of the rawlings Quattros, I've heard the matra is supposed to take the place of the quatro but can't find anything like this except for baseball bats

[@fabjunkie4229]

I probably won't do the Quattro. Its old enough that even if you find one odds are good that it won't pass compression test.

[@butchgreene]

Just an FYI...your first hitter had a few hits that didn't go center in the net, so the radar will automatically read those hits as lower speeds. Watch the video again and you'll notice the "fastest" recorded hits are balls hit straight into the net at the gun. Balls that run at an angle read slower than balls that travel straight at the gun, so hitting "up" into the net may very well be a big hit/fast speed, but the radar will register a lower speed. Will help your hitters for future video data.

[@fabjunkie4229]

Hmm I haven't noticed that. Definitely worth looking into. I'm really only looking for solid contact. Most hitters don't drive the ball straight into the center of the net, so I'm mainly watching for good solid contact. The radar that I use uses sound as it's metric for measurement, so angle really shouldn't matter. I've had good readings from multiple locations.

[@butchgreene]

@@fabjunkie4229 regardless of the gun, it's the science. Your gun is tracking the waves. If the ball goes straight at the gun, it will register a high exit velocity. If the ball is moving at an angle to your gun, it will register a slower speed. To magnify the effect visually, imagine a sound wave bouncing off a train coming straight at you versus a train traveling at an angle to you. The waves bounce back differently and register a lower speed. It's why highway patrol try to use radar head on or from directly behind a driver. It can get thrown out in court if they try at an angle that can give false readings.

[@christopherrussell4873]

I'd really like to see how the LS LXT compares to Meta and Ghost. My daughter swings an LXT now and trying to decide on her next bat since she growing out of it.

[@fabjunkie4229]

It's on my list. The problem is, it's a long list lol. Sooner or later I will get to it. Thanks for the feedback.

[@christopherrussell4873]

@@fabjunkie4229 NP. Thanks for doing these. I just noticed when people ask you, you listen so I figured I’d throw my hat in the ring. I also watched your hype video and am intrigued. I’m curious to see where it stands after it’s in more hands.

[@fabjunkie4229]

Stay tuned, I'll get to it. Thanks for the feedback. So far, from the people I have talked to the Hyle is performing very well. I'm helping do the R&D on the Torch, the bat that will replace the Hype, and I can't honestly say that the current fields are not bid enough for girls to use this bat. It's unbelievable how hot this thing is.

[@tatert.v.9908]

we hadthe lxt 2019 version and i can truly say the sound sucks, and the sweet spot is samller than any bat ive ever seen swung. We did not care for the lxt one bit. Id say try the xeno b4 anything else from louisville.

[@fabjunkie4229]

Thanks for chiming in with a helpful tip.

[@xXitzbubbyXx]

Compared to the monsta hype where do these two rank?

[@fabjunkie4229]

Without having more time to see how the Hype holds up I couldn't honestly say. I can definetly say that, due to durability, I don't even consider the Ghost. I'm going to due a video of this bat against the Hype in the next few weeks.

[@rynox77]

The Ghost is just so good. I wish there was a bat that could hang with it because everyone knows the Ghost is garbage in terms of durability. Might go with the prism this next season Anyways and sacrifice a bit of heat.

[@fabjunkie4229]

The Ghost actually is NOT that much hotter than everything else. Now yes, it is that much hotter than some, but I there are a few that have matched or bested the Ghost exit velocity and have proven to be more durable. Most people just don't want to see it.

[@jraydenyuzicapi-viznei9344]

I’m just wondering is the new ghost better than the echo connect?

[@fabjunkie4229]

No, it's not. It's not hotter and damn sure not more durable.

[@fabjunkie4229]

I agree.

[@richardparker8619]

Will say after having the original prism the prism plus is trash. Ultra durable but very little pop.

[@fabjunkie4229]

I can only speak for the one I have, and it's fire. Every girl is different, and swings different, therefore some bats work better for some than others.

[@gregtallant909]

I thought the same thing hopefully I’m wrong. My daughter has at least 1000 hits off of hers and it’s just now starting to get hot.

[@richardparker8619]

We got this bat brand new and has probably 5000+ swings and it's super durable, just not hot.

[@fabjunkie4229]

Glad to here that it's that durable. All I can speak for is the one I tested/reviewed, and it was definetly hot. Like I said to the other guy, maybe it's just a situation of certain bats working better for certain people.
