That is water under the bridge and now your bat is legal for league, tournament and championship play. Thank you for using Worth products.

This should indicate exactly how the manufacturers address player safety...THEY DON'T CARE! It is apparent their sole concern is sales, period. They get caught in a fraudulant scheme and then talk about the waste of time and money it is to correct the situation.

I also question their truthfulness of the statement above, whether intentional or through omission. What bats did they send? Were they the bats which were not produced according to the original specs or are they the bats which came off the line AFTER the required correction was instituted? The comment above makes it seem as if the testing was wrong and they have been right since day one. Seems to me if that were true, they wouldn't have dropped their lawsuit(s) involving the testing and banning of bats.

Nothing like a little propaganda to go with the equipment. This is one reason why I will not, nor suggest that anyone who ask me, purchase anything produced by Worth.

JMHO,
