Splode
Pros: Im not going to say im Joe softball. I dont hit bombs im a singles guy, ill tell you what the ball comes off this bat extremely fast. Felt great right out of the wrapper. ive been playing for a long time and have purchased many bats this is by far the hardest hitting bat I have purchased to date. Except for an Ultra II
Cons: You gotta like an end loaded bat the 26.5 Oz feels more like a 28Oz I recommend the lighter stick you wont be disappointed.
lightning

Anonymous

sportnut32
Pros: Hot out of the wrapper. Has good distance for a line drive bat. Feels similar to the Fulk Mayhem.
Cons: Keep it warm, I saw it crack in a week but it was 40 degrees out. Swings heavy so size down.
Mark
Pros: Great addition to team! Right out of the box, HOT HOT BAT! Highly recommend for Co-Ed leagues, ladies love it because it is PINK!
Cons: None.
Nickysyxx
Pros: First swing out of the wrapper was a triple over left fielder's head all the way to the fence/foul line on a 300' field. Has a good solid feel to it akin to an NRG. End load feels great as well. Everyone at the park wants to know what the "pink" bat is kind of like the old Lady Virus everyone used until it got outlawed.
Cons: None yet, will reserve judgement based on whether it ends up being truly durable over time.
Jason
Pros: hot out of the wrapper. i have about 150 swings on it and its only getting hotter. even if you miss the sweet spot the ball still flies. great bat!!
Cons: when you walk up to the plate with a pink bat people know you mean business so they move back. (but never far enough lol)
Al
Pros: This bat is great looking! Took some slack because of the color, but they'll get over it. Took it to practice last week, wind was blowing in on our field about 10 mph still put it on the warning track. The ladies were dropping singles all night long just in to the grass, and couple of us were hitting bombs right out of the wrapper. Recommended bat and would buy this one again if I have too.
Cons: None so far.
iBE4R
Pros: Bat feels great in your hands, and the half oz. end load is perfect. Comes through the zone nicely and it looks great. The black and pink really make the bat stand out.
Cons: Nothing really.
oneness
Pros: Hot right out of the wrap!!! Love the .5 oz. I swing the 27.5 and its great!!!! Getting closer to taking one over!!!!!!!
Cons: Other than having to wait in anticipation for it while being shipped, i cant think of any!!!
Pretty in Pink Dave S. player
Pros: Good bat after the break-in, hard hitting bat, very good on cold days, one of the best bats I've ever used in colder weather and performs great with no cracks.
Cons: Swings heavy, with a long break-in period. Personally, the pink doesn't bother me but the overall graphics feel cheaply done for the bat. Good concept but poorly done.
Hot hot hot Adam player
Pros: Second hit out of the raper over the fence straight away centre. Then everyone stopped making fun of the colour and started dropping bombs too!!!
Cons: Not a one
Coming back for an update after an entire season Nickysyxx player
Pros: Hot for only a small window.
Cons: This ended up being a completely dead bat. It was hot and poppy for about three weeks, then it died. It has no pop when it's warm out, only 60 degrees or lower. I went back to using my NRG the rest of my spring/summer, tourneys and fall league. Sold it off because it was worthless.
First bat i bought and love it Rockstar3266 player
Pros: Hot out of the wrapper. The break in time was quick. Took bp with 15 mph winds blowing in and still hit the fence. The ball flies off the bat
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.
