Let’s jump in and find out.
DeMarini Prism
The Prism is probably the bat that performs at the very highest level in all of DeMarini’s lineup of fastpitch bats, and there is some very serious competition. Prism features a Continuous Fiber Wall that gives this amazing bat phenomenal sound, maybe the best in the game, a big sweet spot and a balanced swing.
DeMarini Prism has great power and the feel on hits just sets it apart from other bats in this elite level of performance. This bat has fantastic pop and comes hot of the wrapper.
Easton Ghost
The Easton Ghost is a double barrel, end-loaded fastpitch bat and is very popular on the market right now. The bat is a the best option for power hitters as it has performed very well in all of our tests.
The Ghost features a unique Double-Barrel construction which is supposed to give you a combination of pop, sound and great feel. The pop is great right out of the wrapper and when you connect, the ball just launches of the bat.

Summary
We recommend both of this great bats; they have performed amazing in our tests and they are in the group of elite level of professional fastpitch softball bats. It comes down to your playing style and preferences. With the Ghost you can get more power hits but the Prism has a huge sweet spot, feel and great sound. The difference can be the durability of the DeMarini Prism, or the lack there of with the Easton Ghost.
Overall, both of them are great bats and we recommend them highly.
