This is a product of the collaboration between the engineers of the Ghost and the engineers of the Qpro which started a ways back when Rawlings entered talks with Easton to purchase them. I had the chance to swing one yesterday and my impressions follow. It should come as no surprise that it has Ghost-worthy pop with (they're hoping) the longevity of the Qpro. It feels very end-loaded since the weighting placement is very similar to the Qpro end-load version. I can say from firsthand experience that it is extremely smooth and felt very solid at contact. The feel is reminiscent of the old Worth Legit 2 which has been described as smooth as butter. The knob of the bat has a molded, built in place for the Blast Motion sensor since it has been approved for use during games by the ASA and NCAA. I'm almost sure, but have no definitive proof, that Rawlings has some financial insterest/investment in Blast since they are offering Rawlings dealers the chance to upsell the bat by offering the Blast sensors also. As a side note, the sound the bat makes when striking the ball is rather unique but sounds very solid at contact and Rawlings patented the sound. In summation, I personally feel this bat is the future of Rawlings/Easton and the next "hot" bat out there. I have since purchased 3 of these. 1 will be for my DD to finish her college career with and the others will be for 2 of my hitters that are replacing aging Ghosts.
