The Easton Ghost OG hits dugouts in a fresh look every season. Same bat underneath — same patented Double Barrel, same Sonic Comp composite, same ConneXion two-piece feel — but the cosmetic releases have become their own thing in the fastpitch community. Here's a quick tour of every Ghost OG colorway since the line's relaunch, ending with the 2027 powder blue.
2025: The launch fade (EFP5GHOG)
When the Ghost OG name returned in 2025, the standard release wore a blue fade — the look that established the OG as Easton's "back to basics" Ghost. Drops -8 through -11, the full lineup that's carried forward every year since. This is the bat that started the current OG era.
2025: Rainbow Sherbet (EFP5GHRS)
The standout 2025 limited release. Rainbow Sherbet wears a pink-orange-blue fade that became one of the most photographed fastpitch bats of the year. Drops -10 and -11. It's the kind of paint job that gets noticed in batting practice from three fields over, and it sold through fast at most authorized dealers.
If you have a Rainbow Sherbet in your bag, you've got a piece of recent fastpitch cosmetic history. Underneath the paint, it's the same Double Barrel / Sonic Comp / ConneXion build as the standard 2025.
2026: Rocket Pop (EFP5GHRP)
Easton didn't release a new Ghost OG model platform for 2026 — the 2025 EFP5GHOG carried forward. What 2026 did get was the Rocket Pop colorway: a red, white, and blue patriotic look that became the year's signature OG. Drops -10 and -11. Same SKU prefix as the 2025 platform (EFP5GHRP), confirming this was a colorway release on the existing build.
2027: The Powder Blue refresh (EFP7GHOG)
The 2027 is the first true platform refresh of the Ghost OG since 2025 — new SKU prefix (EFP7GHOG), new model year, new look. Easton describes the 2027 as an "icy-fresh makeover" — and it earns the name.
The 2027 wears a monochromatic powder blue from grip to end cap, with subtle silver/white "GHOST" graphics down the barrel. It's the cleanest, most restrained Ghost OG colorway in years — and a deliberate contrast to the bolder Rainbow Sherbet and Rocket Pop limited drops. Shop the 2027 Ghost OG: -11, -10, -9, -8.
Easton is also releasing a 1,500-unit numbered Launch Edition for 2027 in the -10 and -11 drops, with VIP early access ahead of the general launch. If you collect Ghost OG cosmetics, this one's worth keeping an eye on. (See our 2027 vs 2026 breakdown for everything that's new.)
The underlying bat: same DNA, every year
What's worth understanding: the cosmetic releases sit on top of a remarkably consistent platform. Every Ghost OG since 2025 has carried:
- Patented Double Barrel — the inner-barrel-inside-outer-barrel construction that defines the Ghost feel and sound
- Sonic Comp composite — engineered for durability, low barrel compression, and the unmistakable Ghost sound
- ConneXion two-piece connection — firmer barrel flex for energy transfer with minimal vibration
- Balanced swing weight across all four drops (-8, -9, -10, -11) — see the drop guide to find your fit
- 2 1/4" barrel diameter
- Five certifications — USA Softball, USSSA Fastpitch, NSA, ISA, WBSC (what each stamp means)
So whether you're swinging a 2025 blue fade, a Rainbow Sherbet, a Rocket Pop, or the 2027 powder blue — you're swinging the same Ghost OG underneath. The colorway is how you express yourself in the box. The bat is what does the work.

Bottom line
The Ghost OG's annual cosmetic releases have become part of the bat's identity. From the 2025 launch fade through the 2025 Rainbow Sherbet, the 2026 Rocket Pop, and now the 2027 powder blue, Easton has built a small running tradition of dropping a bat that looks great in the dugout and performs the same as every other Ghost OG underneath.
