Bat Benefits
Worth reports that this Krecher (said "Creature") bat carries their three-piece design. In addition, it has the 13.5" barrel length and XL load (slight end load; 1/2 oz load).
They build this ASA model with some different technology when compared to Ryan Harvey's USSSA bat. This one features the Quad Comp technology to it. Quad Comp inserst a polyurethane joint into the bat to hold the barrel and handle together. This design should allow for the perfect amount of handle-to-barrel flex on contact. That technology also ensures that the bat's inner barrel is affecting the overall performance. The inner barrel should maximize the size of the sweet spot & increase distance on hits.
Lastly, Worth makes certain that they put some tech into the handle. They do so by adding the Flex 50 design to it. Flex 50 allows for a thin handle to improve the whip and feel of 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 8 Customer Reviews
Pros: -Lots of pop out of the wrapper -A very flowing feel. End load is not aggressive but definitely improves swing feel -First bat I’ve really enjoyed the grip tape on. Doesn’t need lizard skin right away. - MASSIVE SWEET SPOT. Let’s face it, we aren’t as good as we once were. This sweet spot makes you look a lot better. Balls off the hands and off the end still fly.
Cons: -The bat feels a tad more balanced than anticipated. But still has some butt behind it when hitting. Which rubbed me the wrong way at first, but I’ve come to love it. -not sure how long the factory grip will last. -only has about 40 swings so far. So not sure about durability. So far so good though!
Pros: Amazing pop right out of the box! Has the feel of a balanced bat, yet its end loaded.
Cons: None as of now.
Pros: Hot out of wrapper. Great feel. End load reaction to ball with mid load feel.
Cons: None so far. ??
Pros: Crazy amount of pop on this bat Huge sweet spot Amazing feel and bat really fits my swing The sound is one of the best I’ve heard for ASA
Cons: None so far
Pros: Loved it as soon as the wrapper came off. First swings were solid.
Cons: None
Pros: This bat felt great right out of the wrapper. It’s game ready after 15-20 swings.
Cons: None yet.
Pros: Ordered this bat in January. Bat broke in quickly with decent pop.
Cons: 3 weeks and the bat cracked. A replacement was shipped without much issue. 50 swings and replacement cracked. The bat core might be ok but the surface coating is so badly cracked and peeling I doubt an umpire would allow to be used in a game. No more Kreachers for me.
Pros: Large sweet spot Good sound
Cons: A little light should have gotten the 27

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.
