| Sept. 15, 2011 big cat7 Men's 50 138 posts | worth bats Has anyone used the worth senior bat that has the three big orange x's on it?I would like some feedback on it |
| Sept. 15, 2011 Al33 Men's 55 183 posts | I haven't personally used it so I have no feedback for you. I know "Clatta" uses it and if you know him, then you know what kind of a hitter he is. The only thing I can comment on though is that I haven't seen to many guys using them at all. |
| Sept. 15, 2011 GSWP001 Men's 60 75 posts | My coplayer and manager uses one. he loves it. 26oz. It is strictly a game day bat according to him. Serious hitters could shorten the life with bp. |
| Sept. 15, 2011 big cat7 Men's 50 138 posts | Yes al33, i know clatta and actually have played with him in a few tournaments.Im originally from virginia and everyone who ever played any serious ball there knows who clatta is.I play senior ball now and a guy on an opposing team used one of these worth bats the other night and the ball really hopped off it so i was just wondering if other people had used it with good results and if it was balanced or endloaded? |

| Sept. 15, 2011 Pricer Men's 50 621 posts | It's a Miken. It was either Miken bought Worth or the other way around. Not sure which, but the bats are made by one and the same. So my quess is they will last as long or as little in swings as the Mikens. |
| Sept. 15, 2011 Mario Men's 50 451 posts | Our #3 hitter, Carl Underwood, uses this bat. He swings a 28.5 oz end loaded model. Its a hot bat, just for games he says. |
| Sept. 15, 2011 gates24 41 posts | For the record: Miken, Worth and Rawlings are owned by Jarden Corp. They used to be owned by K2 |
| Sept. 16, 2011 DoubleL10 Men's 70 907 posts | The bat is the XXX Toxic. I bought 2 early this year - a 28.5 and a 27.5. They have a 0.5 oz endload. I used the 28.5 in Reno and it broke in less than 50 swings. The 27.5 I am using now; it has a vertical crack but is not yet completely broken. The bats are hot and, I've learned, should only be used as "gamers". I would say they are about as durable as the Ultra II which in MHO is what they actually are with a Worth label on them. |
| Sept. 16, 2011 Pricer Men's 50 621 posts | Game only bats! And we're the one's that are suppose to set example for the younger generation? What would we say to our kids or grandchildren if they said I want you to buy this for me (200.00), but it might only last until later today or next week or next year? |
| Jan. 29, 2012 gucci904 Men's 50 21 posts | I have TWO 27.5 's and both have 250 cuts on them now with NO obvious signs of fatigue. I bought a 28.5 for a tourney after I had left my equipment bag in Alabama. This bat broke in less than 45 swings !!!! Go figure ! |
| Jan. 30, 2012 neck10 714 posts | do you take your good car in the woods hunting,then dont use your game bats in batting practice ,I never did even back in the day had a 501h boombat last 8yrs before it broke now I have 8 or 10 ultra 2's with asa stamps on them that are hitting and lasting just fine dont use them in bp either,the number of asa stamped ultra 2's I have should last longer than I will |
| Jan. 30, 2012 gucci904 Men's 50 21 posts | I try to form my own opinion on durability after reading as many reviews as I can find and then trying the bats myself. Once I get an "idea" of the general durability and "break in" I always graduate my bats to the "gamer" bag after a few dozen ( Ultra2 ) or a few hundred ( Combat Centenarian ). The New Orange Worth's seemed to have a reputation of longer break in and higher durability than the previous edition and in my experience the 27.5's bore that out.....so far. It took at least 60 swings for both to get that distinctive "crack" that the Ultra's make from start to finish. The 28.5's however, seem to be quickly gaining a reputation as Extremely hot out of the wrapper ( mine was ) but no longevity. At the FHC tourney I spoke to several players about the Worth XXX after mine broke. One gentleman said that his team had used nine or ten over the previous four weeks and ALL of the 28.5's had broke before they reached 100 cuts ! In contrast the 26.5 and 27.5's had both lasted significantly longer. |
