Pros: Ok, I have owned and used a ton, and I mean a ton of USSSA bats. I normally read all the reviews on a bat before I buy it and can honestly say that I am always left a little disappointed after I swing the bat the first time. People seem to be in denial because that just spent $300 on a bat, so they post an over-ratted and inaccurate review. With all that being said I purchased this bat (SBLUR Resmondo version, same thing) based off of the rave reviews like all the other bats I have bought. This bat is truly a different animal. I have an Easton Salvo that is shaved and rolled with 200 hits, and the second swing of the first practice since the fall of the previous year and the ball went 325+ ft. I quickly followed it with 7 more out of 25 balls. I grabbed my easton and for the last 25 balls only managed to get one over the fence. I am totally blown away about this bat. If you are looking for a new bat PLEASE stop looking because if you dont buy this one you are missing out big time.
Cons: Its gonna get the crapped used out of it, because everyone wants to use it now. lol
Pros: I bought this bat off of the recommendation of a friend. It was a great move! I am by no means a power hitter. In fact I have never gotten one out of the park before. I took the bat out of the wrapper and was immediately impressed by the sound and the solid feel of the bat. Grip is very comfortable and it feels natural in your hands throughout the swing. You really dont need batting gloves if you dont want them. Not really sure if this is because of the flex fifty handle or what, but I feel no vibration unless I get in on the handle of course. Fifty or so hits in the bat really opened up. Everyone that tried the bat was hitting laser line drives. The second fifty balls opened up the bat even more. I got under a ball a little too much and it lifted it right over the left field fence at 280 feet. To many this may be nothing, but it was a hit that most other bats would have sent up as a routine pop fly. My first ever over the fence HR. I am very impressed with the bat in every way.
Cons: One person that tried it complained about the endloaded feel of it. I believe the bat is just a little too heavy for her is the problem.
Pros: Good pop.
Cons: Knob came off after a year and a week, so it was no longer under warranty and Worth wouldn't replace.
Pros: very hot out of the wrapper only tested at 265!!! but man is it a fire stick i was hitting the ball farther then i have all season, i owned one worth bat before and was dissappinted but now im a beleiver love this bat definetly going to be my co gamer with the CL22
Cons: prefer a lizard skin grip but some of my buddys love the cushion feel of worth grips
Pros: This is my 3rd year playing any form of softball/baseball, and this bat has helped my game tremendously. As advertised it is hot out of the wrapper, but it took about 100 cuts to open up the full potential. If you make solid contact with this bat, the ball is going to go. Within about a month, I've hit two in-game homeruns and several others in BP. So someone with more consistent power could have a field day. Also the bat is very forgiving on miss-hits. Because of that and the large sweetspot, it is a great bat for those (like me) who are trying to work on their consistency at the plate. You may even get a homer or two in the process. If you're on the fence about purchasing this bat, do yourself a favor and buy it. And for what it's worth, it's definitely one of the best looking bats on the market.
Cons: -Beautiful, glossy finish gets nicked up fairly quickly -People have asked me if it is a shaved/corked bat...it is not. -Grip isn't very durable, started to come loose fairly quickly. -EVERYONE wants to use it. Even if the 28oz endload design is a little too heavy for them, this is the bat they want to swing.
Pros: Out of the box I was hitting 280-300 feet. After first 20 swings, was adding 30 feet minimum on long balls and line drives were 95% of the time base hits. When hit with good contact, the ball jumps off the bat. Seems like this bat has a giant sweet spot.
Cons: The only thing I didnt like was that it wasn't at full potential right out the box. Took about 20 swings to achieve (so far) maximum potential.

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.
