| Sept. 12, 2023 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: New 2024 Worth AT18 in Vegas Super excited to be heading for Vegas tomorrow to play in one of the most prestigious tournaments in all of Softball. Many thanks to Terry, Dave, Fran, Tim and ALL of the SSUSA Staff for all the work putting together this event. Me, the resident bat geek got a bit excited today when I found out I may get about 50 of my new AT18 Limited Edition bats delivered to me in Vegas. I am blessed to be continuing to work with all of the Rawlings Group in developing cutting edge products and this bat is certainly that. If you haven’t seen it yet check out my you tube or facebook page. It comes as the 13.5” barrel with a 1/2 ounce end load in 25/26/27/28 ounce versions. If you are headed to Vegas this week and want to see them or get one call or text me at 561-718-7504. Travel safe and hit ‘‘em hard! Alan Tanner aka AT18 Rawlings Senior Advisory Staff |
| Jan. 30, 2022 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: New Miken and Worth GAMER SERIES BATS Hello Everyone, While it’s still cold in most places and even here in Florida softball season is starting up. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up on availability on the new Worth AT18 and Miken Gamer Series bats. Due to their ever increasing popularity, we haven’t been able to keep up with the demand. We did finally get more through production and shipped out last week so there are some now available. We are still producing both of these bats at our factory in Caledonia, MN here in the US. We have had challenges with getting even raw materials as we also produce our own carbon fiber here at the plant. This Covid situation continues to plague our country unfortunately. If you have questions about the bats or availability please feel free to contact me at 561-718-7504. I would recommend that you grab a bat from us or any other company while they are in stock and before your season starts to be sure you have a bat to swing as your season approaches. We all will probably face these issues for another year or so and the same thing pertains to softballs themselves…buy them ahead of time and while you can get them. Shipping is vastly increasing in cost and the supply lines are very slow. Best of luck to each of you and look forward to seeing you at SSUSA’s fantastic TOC event coming up in Florida. Look me up on the field during the hitting clinic for tips and techniques. Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports Miken/ Worth / Easton Advisory Staff |
| Sept. 3, 2021 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: New Miken and Worth GAMER SERIES BATS Guys, It’s been awhile but we have been hard At work at Miken and Worth developing the best Senior bats we have ever created. Introducing the Gamer Series, the first ever Game ready Senior bats. My signature AT18 is a 12.5” barrel with a 1/2 ounce end load resulting in your quickest bat speed ever. On the Miken side we have the Ultra with a 14” barrel and 1/2 ounce el. Never before have we ever created bats like these that are hot already and break in to reach performance levels that take other bats HUNDREDS of swings to break in in less than 100 swings. We spent a year listening to players of all ages and skill levels and went through multiple prototypes to get to this final product. These were created with the AVERAGE player in mind not the heavy hitters. These bats will bring you to your maximum potential as a player quicker than any other bat. BTW, if you are an Advanced player you will love the IMMEDIATE performance you will get literally in the wrapper. I do have some brief videos on my FACEBOOK page and on You Tube. Bats that are preordered will ship around the middle of September. Due to strong demand already, we are trying to free up production time in our US facility in Minnesota to make more. If you have questions feel free to contact me. Alan Tanner Miken & Worth Pro Staff Team 1 Sports 561-718-7504 |

| Dec. 8, 2020 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: New 2021 AT18 and MIKEN Senior bats Hi Every one Excited to announce that the newest technology in Senior bats from MIKEN and Worth will be released very soon! My AT18 signature bat will remain as a 13.5” barrel with a 1/2 ounce end load, our most popular configuration. If you swung my bat or any of the MIKEN or Worth Senior bats last year then you experienced tremendous performance and unmatched durability in the industry. Our 2021 bats will be the same in that sense but you will notice a slightly quicker break in period so they get extreme lively, quicker. I did make a short video on my you tube channel showing the new AT18 and I’ll be making more videos as the other models start becoming available. Preorders are being taken now with nat shipments around the end of December to early January. Feel free to call me with any questions at 561-718-7504.

| Nov. 12, 2020 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Bats and equipment this weekend at St. George It very well would add to your bat speed. It may take a couple of BP sessions to adjust but my bet is after 200 or so swings you will be very happy that you bought it. AT18 |
| Sept. 25, 2020 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Seem separation.... DRB Take some pictures of it and send them to me at Tricoach18@att.net or text them to me at 561-718-7504. I’ll take a look at it for you. Thanks, Alan Tanner AT18 |
| Sept. 15, 2020 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Bats and equipment this weekend at St. George Happy to announce the MIKEN and Worth tent will be at the Canyons field on Thursday set up with everything you need to play.

| Sept. 9, 2020 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Which bat to buy follow -up.. 2 years or so ago I helped MIKEN/Worth develop the one piece Wicked. It was originally produced on a ONE TIME basis out of this country expressly because we just did not have enough production time here in Minnesota to produce it. We decided to STOP PRODUCING the bat last year since it was made overseas. All MIKEN and WORTH bats are produced here in Caledonia, Minnesota. Support your country and buy MIKEN and Worth. AT18 |
| Aug. 17, 2020 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Which bat to buy? And by the way.....ALL Miken and Worth bats are MADE IN THE USA IN CALEDONIA, MINNESOTA. How about considering supporting your country and American jobs when you buy your next bat? AT18 |
| Aug. 17, 2020 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Which bat to buy? Hey Guys, Consider trying out one of my AT18 bats from Worth. 13.5” barrel with a 1/2 ounce endload is one of the most popular configurations among senior players. Must more important is the fact that it combination of performance , durability, and sweet spot sets it apart from other bats. If you don’t mind buying multiple bats every year because they break there are other choices but none of the other bats really compares. All of our Miken and Worth bats this year have those characteristics and these really are the finest we have ever made. We are out of stock on the Johnny Bailey and MAG7 bats right now but should be producing more Mid September. If you need any help you can reach me at 561-718-7504.

| April 14, 2020 Tri18 | Topic: Bats Discussion: Proper senior bat weight as we age Mr. 3rd base, Maybe I can help out here a bit. I do have a video on you tube titled what weight bat should I swing that covers it more completely but what ALOT of Senior hitters don’t consider: We cover this in depth in my Senior camp but if you can’t CONTROL CONSISTENTLY the weight of the bat you are swinging then additional weight is counterproductive. You see softball is a game of ratios , numbers, milliseconds, and milliinches. (I made up that word) Lol. The object of the game is to not make an out. If we filmed your SWING PLANE and measured bat speed many, many times I have seen senior players swinging too heavy of a bat. Most senior players are not getting stronger unless they are on a very consistent and far reaching weight training program and don’t control heavier bats on a level basis THROUGH THE HITTING ZONE AND AT IMPACT The same way they can with lighter bats. The more CONSISTENT the swing plane coupled with bat speed, the more hits you will achieve. Most of all, a player needs to be comfortable AND CONFIDENT in what they are swinging or they will never reach their athletic potential. We cover this at camp in the mental approach to becoming a great hitter. I hope this helps some. Best of luck to you with your choices and on the field.
