WOW THIS BAT IS SICK RABBIT4621 player
Pros: This bat has POP right out of the wrapper. It feels good and I love the color. Haven't had many hits on it YET but i'm putting them off the fence. I'm not a home run hitter but I'm hitting doubles and triples. No matter what side you hit it on it's flying.
Cons: NONE YET.
doubles and triples t pham player
Pros: Took it to batting practice and it was pretty hot out the rapper. I felt good flex and a huge sweetspot. I got a 27 oz. and it feels a bit light compared to my Miken 750X Ultra but it had a nicer balanced swing weight. The graphics are awesome and handle is comfortable.
Cons: Some of the paint chips pretty quick.
Rattle Mark G player
Pros: Nice graphics
Cons: The very first hit on this bat, there was a rattle. It got worse as I kept hitting. Sent back to Worth for a refund
Fluke Zach player
Pros: Hot for about 30 swings,great feel and looks.
Cons: I play a lot of ball solid hitter got this bat cause I love the Usssa balanced sick after about 30 solid hits bat seemed to lose all pop no matter who swung it,and it stings no matter where you hit it.really diss appointed in this product. I kept faith in it and continue to swing it and same result with about 300-400 cuts on it.
First Swing Bomb Mike player
Pros: I am a power hitter, but I am recovering from knee surgery from a few months ago so my power hasn't been there. I bought this bat and the first pitch I saw, I hit a homerun. Then on my third at bat of the game I hit another bomb. Ended up going 4-4 with 2 jacks. Cant wait to see what happens in my next game.
Cons: None

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.
