Toofast55
Pros: This is a very good bat you can hit it right above the handle to the end cap and get good results. My dd plays 14u and hit a change up to the fence with a check swing, in the first game. I believe with time it will only get better.
Cons: None so far. Worth always make quality bats.

Coach Ken
Pros: It is pretty. So are pink gloves, bats and helmets.
Cons: I think Worth threw a bat together and slung a high price tag on it to attract true players. The bat reminds me off the old pink and white Mayhem. i have 3 DD's. 14, 16 and 18. None of them liked it.

Pros: Started out good.
Cons: Bat just won't last. My 12yr old broke the bat in less than 8 months and it took forever to get back from warranty. Once we finally got a new bat it only lasted 5 months before it broke right above the grip. Was very disappointed!!!
DAD
Pros: Even feel
Cons: Doesn't last and just didn't have the same pop that you see in the Stealth,Xeno,or Deimarni

I see that it is ASA approved. Is it also NSA and USSSA approved? Mike
My daughter (16U) currently uses the Worth 5.4 Titan, but this bat is not allowed in her high school games. She loves the feel when the ball is struck well. She is currently looking at the Worth 454, Demarini Insane and TPS Xeno. She is tall girl with a little pop. She has always used a -10, but is considering an end loaded bat. Which bat would you recommend? Hawkeye
I'm in a Mens Fastpitch Softball league and just wondering if this is a good bat to use not just for me but the whole team or is there another bat we should consider. arcamedies27
Does the Worth 454 have good durability and good pop? It is not a very popular bat, but I know that a lot of Colleges use it. Would you recommend the bat for a power hitter? ek
Which bat is better for Fastpitch Softball, the Worth 454 or the Anderson Nanotek? rachh
I know that Easton just released some new composite bats a few days ago. I have a DeMarini CF4 right now and it has okay pop. I've been looking at this bat for a while now. Does it perform better than an Easton and/or a DeMarini? Em
For a contact hitter, which bat would you recommend, the Worth 454 or the Worth Titan 5.4L: FPT54L Fastpitch? The approved association is not an issue. bbo
My daughter is a strong, contact hitter. How does the Worth 454 compare to the CF5 and Insane? DD Swinging
Right now I have a 32/22 in the Demarini CF4. I have been looking at this bat for a while and not that many people use it. Although I know that major Colleges use it such as Tennessee and the elite Worth Firecrackers. OVERALL does this bad have good durability? Emily
I have a 16 yr old that plays travel ball. She is currently interested in the CF5 Hope. What do you recommend or what would you buy if it was your daughter? She has hit good with the Rip-it end loaded bat and the CF4 bat. We want distance, pop and all it can offer to help make her hit harder and further. Sully

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.
