Pros: Went out to do some BP and did some soft hits on it. Once I got warmed up the bat felt good through the zone. No sting or vibration to it. I did 50 hits on it and 12 of them went 320 + ft.. I believe that the break in time will be a lot quicker then what people may expect.
Cons: Not to convince with the grip... Lizard skin will do the trick
Pros: -break in time is less than 10 cuts -VERY light swing weight. Feels balanced. -the smaller 150 pound guys will DOMINATE with a 26oz!!
Cons: -does not feel like a 1oz el. So will have to jump from a 26 to 28. -the light swing weight forces u to consciously wait longer to time the quick swing. -bat is LITERALLY hot out the wrapper; hope that it lasts a whole season.
Pros: Bat has a lot of pop right out of the wrapper! Endload feels really nice and the grip is great!
Cons: I'm worried it won't pass compression soon...
Pros: took 50-75 hits to break in. extremely large sweet spot with medium endload. bat swings lighter than weighted. hottee than my 100h, l1, and is comparable to my miken 4 the fallen2015
Cons: havent heard much on durability or compression testing.
Pros: -Great feel -Great look -Hot out of the wrapper -Makes the infield back up when they see it come out of the bag -0 break in time needed I didn't take this bat out for BP and took the wrapper off in the dugout before a game. First swing was a dead center bomb that may not have landed yet. I credit the bat for most of the work.
Cons: -I don't have two of them
Pros: Nice looking bat...you can definitely feel the end load.
Cons: I'm hoping it performs better after the break in period.
Pros: Looks cool.
Cons: Piece of junk.
Pros: Hot worth money
Cons: Sweet

About the Brand
Worth, Inc. can trace its beginning back to the year 1912, when George Sharp Lannom, Jr. purchased a tannery in Tullahoma, Tennessee and established the Lannom Manufacturing Company. Initially, the firm tanned leather for harnesses and horse collars they manufactured. However, as the automobile grew in popularity, the demand for the company's harnesses and collars declined, so Lannom shifted its manufacturing resources toward production of leather covered baseballs and softballs under the "Worth" brand, and men's leather dress gloves under the "Craig" brand.
Charles (Chuck) E. Parish joined Lannom in 1930 as a salesman and married G.S. Lannom, Jr.'s daughter, Martha Lannom several years later. Following Mr. Lannom's death, Parish acquired controlling interest in the company, which led to a division of company assets between himself and Lannom's son G.S. Lannom III. Lannom maintained the glove works while Parish, "The Baron of Baseballs," built the Lannom baseball business into the world's largest manufacturer of baseballs.
Upon graduation from Vanderbilt University in 1959, Chuck Parish's son, John, joined the Lannom organization. He persuaded his father to expand the company's Caribbean operations and enter the baseball bat business in 1970. In 1975, following the death of his father, John Parish took over the reigns of the company. Under his leadership, the company diversified and expanded its production line and developed the personnel, technical know-how, and physical facilities to become one of the largest and most financially sound manufacturers in the entire sporting goods industry.
The WorthSports Company was formally organized in 1975 as the sales and marketing arm for all sporting goods products and divisions of Lannom. In addition to the normal marketing functions, Worth also emphasizes and provides new product research and development. In fact, the emphasis placed on this development is largely responsible for Worth's leadership role in the sporting goods industry.
When Worth entered the bat business all bats were made from Northern White Ash. Worth then established wood mills in Pennsylvania and New York to provide the strong but relatively lightweight ash wood stock. Then directions were shifted to aluminum and other composites and in 1968 Lannom Manufacturing produced its first aluminum bat. The company's Jess Heald was primarily responsible for its development. The sale of aluminum bats to amateur baseball and softball players mushroomed in the 70's, helping Lannom achieve record results. In 1994, because of market demands, more emphasis was placed on the aluminum division and an expansion was completed in Tullahoma.
One of the first and most significant results of the R&D program was the development of the Polyurethane (Poly-X™) core for baseballs and softballs. This one innovation revolutionized the entire softball world; up to this time, the traditional softball core was constructed of cork and latex. Worth, through the use of "petrochemical" formulation, created a softball that was more consistent in performance and demonstrated extended durability, thereby setting the stage for the establishment of formal specifications and standards for the industry. More recently, the expanded research and development team has made another revolutionary addition to the aluminum bats called the SuperCell EST (Exterior Shell Technology) Bat.
One product Worth is very proud of is its RIF (Reduced Injury Factor) baseballs and softballs. Introduced in baseballs in the late '80's, the RIF design features a polyurethane center that makes the ball softer than the traditional yarn wound ball, while keeping the weight, size and liveliness. The balls are used mainly in youth leagues, where safety is of major concern. The technology is now being used in Worth softballs as well. New technology is constantly being developed to revolutionize the softball industry as we know it today.
In 2007, Worth was acquired by Jarden Corporation and is now a division of Rawlings and Jarden Team Sports.
