FASTPITCH SOFTBALL BAT REVIEWS
POWER & VELOCITY
Ghost Unlimited: One-piece, stiffer, double‑wall composite barrel enables true power hitters (who can handle heavier drops like -8, -9) to maximize their raw energy transfer, generating TOP EXIT VELOCITY when they square it up!!!
Asura Lux: One-piece composite with Gap Sync barrel technology and EVolve composite material is more balanced and uses its PFX composite handle to add a little flex to generate top-tier EXIT VELOCITY though the strongest hitters may feel they overpower this balanced bat.
Winner: Easton Ghost Unlimited is the TOP CHOICE for Strong Power Hitters who want to generate TOP EXIT VELOCITY driving balls deep and out-of-the-park!!!
BAT SPEED & CONTROL
Ghost Unlimited: One-piece, stiff and slightly end-loaded bat swings heavier, helping pure strength hitters but can cost lesser-strength power hitters crucial BAT SWING SPEED and BAT CONTROL.
Asura Lux: More balanced than most one-piece power bats, it helps power hitters generate good BAT SWING SPEED and maximize CONTROL through the zone, including adjusting swing level mid-pitch; however, the strongest hitters may feel they overpower this balanced bat.
Winner: TIE - Both the Easton Ghost Unlimited and Marucci Asura Lux need legit power hitters to generate enough BAT SWING SPEED through the hitting zone to unlock its power. Lesser-strength power hitters may find these bats drag a bit through the zone, losing both BAT SWING SPEED and CONTROL.
SWEET SPOT & MIS-HITS
Ghost Unlimited: Dual-wall barrel has an exceptionally large SWEET SPOT allowing power hitters to drive balls hard that otherwise would be MIS-HITS.
Asura Lux: Gap Sync barrel and TFX end cap combine to create a large SWEET SPOT with increased forgiveness toward the end of the bat, enabling power hitters to drive off-center pitches with power.
Winner: Easton Ghost Unlimited’s very large SWEET SPOT enables power hitters to turn mis-hits into solid hits off the bat.
FEEL & VIBRATION CONTROL
Ghost Unlimited: By design, is a one-piece, stiffer, slightly end-loaded bat that maximizes direct raw power transfer; this results in strong feedback to the hands (stinging) when off-center bat-to-ball collision takes place.
Asura Lux: More balanced design feels smoother through the hitting zone than one-piece end-loaded bats while the PFX composite handle provides a bit of VIBRATION CONTROL.
Winner: Marucci Asura Lux with its PFX composite handle does a better job with VIBRATION CONTROL.
BREAK-IN PERIOD
Ghost Unlimited: Needs a modest break‑in window of quality contacts to really open it up - about 50-100 swings rotating the barrel.
Asura Lux: Short break-in period (about 25-50 swings, rotating the barrel) and the Asura Lux reaches its peak performance.
Winner: Marucci Asura Lux gets the edge.
DURABILITY & BAT FATIGUE
Ghost Unlimited: Has 70% Positive Reviews with the majority of Neutral/Negative reviews citing DURABILITY and early BAT FATIGUE issues; if you purchase this fastpitch softball bat, be prepared for possible injury breaking or cracking and early bat deadness. Note: Some reviewers also complain that Easton can be difficult to deal with regarding warranty claims and returns.
Asura Lux:The Asura line (earlier standard Asura uses the same technologies) has 67% Positive Reviews with most Neutral/Negative reviews citing DURABILITY and early BAT FATIGUE issues; be prepared to take some risk associated with breaking, cracking or early deadness.
Winner: TIE - Both the Easton Ghost Unlimited and the Marucci Asura Lux bats have similar risk associated with breaking, cracking annd and early bat deadness.
PRICE (MSRP)
Ghost Unlimited: $499.99.
Asura Lux: $479.99.
Winner: Slight edge to Marucci Asura Lux.
BOTTOM LINE
The 2025 Easton Ghost Unlimited is THE CHOICE for a true power hitter who can handle a heavier swing, accepts a bit more sting but wants to maximize their raw power transfer, creating TOP EXIT VELOCITY so they can drive balls over-the-fence and through-the-gaps to the fence. However, the Marucci Asura Lux fastpitch softball bat is a worthy challenger to the Easton Ghost Unlimited.
