Pros: good pop
Cons: dents easy just like other lithiums
Texas
Pros: Son is 6 and 50 lbs swinging the 27"/17. Big barrel with good balance so swings lighter than weight listed. Much more balanced than the Easton Jr big barrel and pop seems the same or better also. We use regulation balls and it hasn't dented after 2 tournaments and many trips to the batting cage.
Cons: None.
coach
Pros: Cheap
Cons: Dented after 1 tournament with 6 year olds. Woth does have a 1 year warranty, so I'll be sending it back.

Warren B.
Pros: Bat has large pop for the little guys. I have been a fan of the Lithium for years and this bat doesnt dissapoint. Really good for little guys in the 5-6-7 age groups. We use it for 7U hardball.
Cons: Not sure if you would consider it a Con really but you have to be used to the paint job getting worn out really quickly on the Lithiums.
TJE
Pros: Great bat! From the BANG of my son's 1st hit the rest of the team wanted to use it! The sound alone instills so much confidence in some of these little guys. Ball absolutely jumps off. Seems like the whole bat is a sweetspot. Balanced great! It swings like a lighter swing weight than what it is.
Cons: None!! Durability seems great so far!
Bear
Pros: None.
Cons: My 8 year old son couldn't continue to use this bat as the consistent stinging was was absolutely brutal. Zero pop as well.
KS
Pros: Decent pop
Cons: After a couple months it looked like a paddle, Took Worth over two months to get another from China. Never again will I waste my money on a Worth product.
Mississippi
Pros: I don't know what kind of balls you guys are hitting but my 90lb 7 year old (about to be 8) is a hard hitter and has been pounding hundreds of hard balls on the field, batting cage, and machine with a 27/17 and no dents at all and graphics still look great. It has a awesome pop and he loves it. Highly reccomended!
Cons: zero
trina
Pros: my son loves this bat, he has consistently hit home runs last year as well as this year, it does have some sting, but other then that and the fact he is 8 and small, but is still considered as having a stick on him!
Cons: Will not be able to use it next year!
rw2222
Pros: None.
Cons: DENTS on first use, First time was used the barrel dented in several places. Worth replaced it and the same happened with the replacement. Don't waste you time or money on Worth bats.
Keith B
Pros: Good pop. My 6 yo, 50 pounder was putting balls in the outfield consistently. Other kids used the bat and were crushing the ball.
Cons: None yet. Other friends that have older bats, the bats have lost their pop after a season. Save the bat's life, get a different bat for BP.

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.
