Which Worth Bat?

What's on your mind?

by Stubs » Tue May 12, 2009 7:03 pm

I haven't watched any college games this year so I couldn't answer two bat questions I was asked tonight. What Worth bat are colleges using? And why don't you see college teams outfitted with and swinging the RockeTech?

I have only seen one team using Worth, and I'm pretty confident they were using the Mutant. Lots of Demarini's, Easton's, some Louisville, and the magical Nike bats. :P

From what I've read, coaches took their business elsewhere for hotter bats. Maybe Worth reduced sponsorship, who knows.

As for RT, the only thing I have heard is that Anderson doesn't sponsor. Not sure if coaches would like the end-loading anyway.

I've seen many Wisconsin players using the Worth Titan. I recognize it because my daughter bought one after Christmas. She's been pretty happy with hers, several team mates have been helping break it in this summer.

Worth is sponsoring teams and Anderson isn't.

U 0f Az. did not like the Worth equipment and they are now fully outfitted by Nike.

Watch lower level Div. I (non-sponsored programs) and Div. II and you'll see a ton of Rocket Techs. If Rocket Tech sponsored programs, you'ld see them everywhere at the Div. I level and then this old wive's tale would die.

The Worth Titan has been fairly prominent this season among the college ranks.

One knock I have heard about Anderson is that they only have bats. While the others also provide things such as batting gloves, fielding gloves, cleats, helmets, uniforms, bat bags, clothing and such for the teams they sponsor.

Thanks for the info on u of Wis. It looks like they also have an Adidas contract, too.

Nike supplies U of AZ. right down to the socks and cleats.

Anderson's customer service is getting a bad rap on another site. I don't know if it is true.

It is true.... Anderson bat company is a small Mom and Pop operation that think they are the God of all Gods. I hear from people all the time how they change there policies to fit what ever they want.
Rumor has it Placentia P.D. has been called out to there location on several occasions.

For many years I have had nothing but great experiences with Anderson Bats. I thought their Customer Service was one of the best I have ever dealt with.
