Description
Worth Krecher Ryan Harvey 13.5" XL USSSA 240 Slow Pitch Softball Bat: WRH21U
Some call Ryan Harvey the "Thor" of softball. And it is even rumored that he is a descendant of Vikings (and that is why he is so good at swinging a bat). Regardless of his lore, his Worth Krecher (said "Creature") USSSA Softball Bat is a real weapon on the softball diamond!
Bat Benefits
Worth builds Ryan's bat with the two-piece design and XL load (1/2 ounce end load; slight end load). As well, the bat comes with a super lengthy 13.5" barrel length. This bat would be a great model for a power hitter looking to put a hurt on the slow pitch softball. However, if there are some contact hitters out there that want a bat with a slight load to it, this could be one to try out and see if a barrel load is something for you (it will be easier to manage than a bat with a full 1 ounce end load).
The barrrel of the bat will get star treatment as it will have the X434 composite material. That material utilizes exclusive carbon fiber and resin systems to increase the material content of the composite. That increased material content should lead to better barrel flex and better performance.
Worth doesn't forget about the handle either. They implement a Flex 75 Handle that should optimize whip and feel on the bat.
Warranty
Worth does indeed extend a twelve (12) month manufacturer’s warranty on this bat. If you are swinging the bat and notice a structural defect or decreased performance, be sure and know that there will be the chance to get a warranty replacement bat. BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE, PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE YOUR SERIAL STICKER. IT CAME WITH THE BAT WHEN YOU FIRST RECEIVED IT. WORTH WON’T ACCEPT THE BAT FOR A REPLACEMENT IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE STICKER.
After you locate the Serial Sticker, please reach out to the Bat Experts at JustBats. The Bat Experts understand the warranty processes for bats and will make sure that you have the information needed to contact Worth and get the bat sent to them for a replacement.

Average Ratings Based on 3 Customer Reviews
Pros: Hot out of the wrapper
Cons: Loses compression quickly
Pros: This is one of the best bats on the market. I love it. Hot out of the wrapper, great feel, large sweet spot and one of the best bats I have ever swung. Great feel in your hands and upon contact. I have been a Miken fan for years but this is a superior bat.
Cons: I don't have a single negative comment about this bat so far.
Pros: I’ve only used this bat in 2 games. Maybe 10 at-bats with another guy who used it. So far we’ve hit five HRs which felt super smooth. Handful of solid line drives as well which came off the barrel very clean. Took maybe 20 swings of soft toss (with game balls) to open up. I don’t have enough experience to say how well it will hold up with time, but so far I’d highly recommend.
Cons: None so far.

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.
