Anyone swung it yet?

Just got the 2020 Ghost Mondo 12" in 27oz. Weighs in at 27.5oz and has a 0.5oz end load. I'll swing it in the cages on Monday.

Wouldn't hit much in cages or even BP. These bats don't hold compression well.

Lucky for me we're a lower rec league. No testing.

Then you should be fine. I have a Helmer Border Battle that tests @ 600. Bat hits the same as when new. Can't swing much anymore except over 50 which doesn't test.

No change in performance with break in?

 

[UncleMosk]

Performance really not much honestly. However, if hitting socks like a Clincher or Indoor Safe T Ball these ghost models kill the ball.

Again this is my experience with them. Seen some younger, stronger guys swing them and been impressed with performance. Maybe it's the swing speed in the zone for some.

First swing sounded like the bat was made of thin porcelain, but the sound got better with each swing.

Tons of webbing even on the first swing.

Once in games watch for the comment
"Did he just break his bat".

Easton Ghost and pretty much all Louisville Slugger sound awful but they get the job done. There's nothing in today's market that sounds like the old Combats did. I still swing two red 14 Portent for USA.

I need to hear this outdoors, because indoors it has a satisfying "crack" to it.

Is this thing made like the '18 Border Battle Helmer? Double barrel technology. Weird ass sound. In fact, the bat sounds absolutely awful at contact, like it's shattering.

Great performance. Absolute BOMBS with .52s. Bat seems insubstantial, like it would break immediately with harder balls.
