Pros: legit bat!
Cons:
KOsdad
Pros: So far so good. Nice sweet spot. Only got to use on soft toss. First bucket 5 over the fence. Next 1/2 bucket 7 over the fence. This bat will probably be used by half of a college team. We will see how it holds up.
Cons: none
BAC19
Pros: Great pop out of wrapper. Very little sting.
Cons: None.
Annie
Pros: Very hot bat, and the orange and white color really catches the eye. My daughter loves this bat and has been successful with it. We've found that a lot of bats run quite heavy, but this one, at least for us, did not. I put it on my postal scale and found that it is only .4 ounces over sticker weight.
Cons: Price, but that's just the way it is with a good bat.
Perk
Pros: Extremely satisfied. Even weight distribution is easier to get around and daughter's average has improved by 60 points. Also, hits with more power.
Cons: Price. But I would say that about all of them.
Tanks Mom
Pros: GREAT bat, daughter has 6 Mayhems 98 series and would never swing with anything else...until we bought her this. Homer after homer with this beauty!!!!!
Cons:

How does it compare to the Worth Quad 32/22? My daughter has been using the worth quad for 4 years and the ball always jumped off of the bat. Recently she broke the end cap and has the replacement bat FPL410 32/22. How would this replace a double wall bat or the performance? Kg25
My daughter who is 14 is swinging a Miken right now, and it has a little pop. She is 5'2" and weighs 123 lbs and uses a 32" 22 oz. She is a power hitter and already hits balls against the fence. Should she move to a 33"23 oz? Also, how would the Worth affect the power of her hits? coach kevin

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.
