Pros: Just took this bat out of the wrapper last night before our game and first pitch was solid line drive. Never experienced pop like this right out of the wrapper! Entire team was slugging them out of 300ft fence (5HR max). Incredible Bat - Highly reccomend!
Cons:
Anonymous
Pros: Unbelievable pop. No dead spots. It's remarkable right out the wrapper. Hitting 350' plus lasers
Cons: Absolutely none
Ace
Pros: One of the best balanced bats that I have ever swung! Great pop out of the wrapper. Can't wait for it to get broken in and see how it performs! Awesome Look as well!
Cons:
tonyv1970
Pros: Worth came out to a tourny I was playing in and holding a homerun contest and I am sure they were using a "special bat", but I fell in love with the bat. I was just launching everythin 350+. When I got home I bought one right away. I now have 2 of them and both of them are ridiculous. All I can say is GET ONE ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!! Best bat available now.
Cons:
Gorman29
Pros: Got this bat and took it out of the wrapper just before a tournament, first hit was a solid line drive to the wall. After that most of team used it and let me just say the solid hits were a plenty. I typically don't recommend bats but this one is awesome!
Cons: none
crusher
Pros: Great bat hit a 400 foot Homer first game out and it not even close to being broken in still getting sweeter
Cons:
Mudflap
Pros: I thought this bat was dead out of the wrapper as I was hitting flops just outside the infield. Then a week later after about 30 cuts I watched in amazement as my old busted teammate dropped the hammer on one and put it 301ft just over the fence. I jumped in excitement and did a little fist pump. THIS BAT IS HOT!!!!!!
Cons: I picked up the 30oz. which is tough to generate bat speed on, especially after a 12 of natty light.
Big Montana
Pros: This bat is sick. I'm 5' 11" and 150 lbs. and normally hit pop-ups, but now I'm hitting missiles through the infield. Right out of the wrapper a teammate dropped a bomb over the fence. Once it's broken in, I'm thinking warning track on the roll is within reach. THIS BAT IS HOTTT!!!
Cons: All these thieves be tryin' to steal it and the graphics look like a prison tat.
r2476k2000
Pros: Took my first 80 cuts with the wrapper still on the bat. Hit 11 HRs and a ton of solid liners. Hot Stick! O' and it was delivered in only a day and a half.
Cons: None
q
Pros: Bat is straight hot. If you want to hit bombs and wreak havoc, this bat is the way to do it. Straight out of the wrapper other teams were saying my 454 was rolled and shaved. BUT IT WASN'T
Cons: Non yet
ZBB
Pros: I don't own this bat, but swung one at a tourney this weekend. Man is it HOTTT... Now I am looking for one. Nice hard swing and I crushed 4 HR's in two games.
Cons: Have to swing harder to get the best performance.
DMAN79
Pros: I've played four games with the 454; it's probably one of the best bats I've used. I got jammed several times and was able to get it out of the infield with speed. This wouldn't happen with other bats. Also, I had solid contact on a few at bats and the ball had tremendous speed. I'm not a homerun hitter but I have a lot of power. I can definitely feel the difference in this bat, out of the wrapper. I'm expecting it to get better after it's broken in.
Cons: none yet
cpack37
Pros: Bat is Hot Hot Hot. Everyone loves it and break in period is slim to none in time.
Cons: Only con i have is I am the second person that i know of that their bat has cracked or busted.
Johnny_Napalm
Pros: I am a C-Level Player and keep that in mind. My first hit, out of the wrapper, I was able to punish the ball to the fence. I able able to 24 hits to the track out of 50 swings. When practicing on my base hitting the SS and 3B stated there was such a pop off the barrel they couldn't see the ball until its first bounce. They both missed quite a few on the ground. I am in love with this bat.
Cons: My teammates got to hit home runs with it time and time again during practice. Once I master my swing it will be my turn.
pelzer
Pros: hot out the wrapper. wait til it breaks in and thats a whole new story!
Cons: too pretty to swing
bochy
Pros: I love this bat!!! Pulled out of the box and first swing out of the park. This bat dont need no breakin, it allready comes nasty!!!!!. Buy it!!

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.
