2016 Worth 2 Legit Review: It’s Legit

Worth has claimed they addressed the durability issues from 2015 in the 2016 model by stiffening up the handle. There is some evidence out there to suggest it worked. However, we'd suggest, due to the amount we read on the bats durability issues in previous years, to make sure you buy this bat new with a receipt (and warranty). This may not be a great second hand bat and even at a steep discount it may not be worth the risk. Although our several hour and several hitter event in the cage didn't appear to show any signs of wear on the 2016 version that is hardly the sample size needed to verify durability.

By way of construction, the bat 2 legit will have, like the 2015 version, a unique design that includes four pieces. The first two are found in a double walled barrel. The outer shell of the barrel has more flex which allow for even the smallest and weakest of hitters to compress the barrel and get some trampoline from stick. The inner barrel is much more rigid and keeps the bat from going over the allowable limit. The other two pieces of the bat include the fully composite hand and the transition piece which help limit sting and vibration on the hands---in theory making for a very  smooth swing. A similar bat in the 2016 market is the LXT from Louisville Slugger. Both are a two piece composite bats with a double walled barrels, a transition piece and the composite handle. The Worth 2 Legit uses the double walled barrel to give maximum distance to any type of hitter. Both are top end performance fastpitch bats and it's hard to say one is really superior to the other. If anything, the 2 Legit is hotter out of the wrapper while the LXT has better durability but, those claims are so unique to the actual bat you are holding that it's hard to say that with much conviction.

The drop 10 will come in several lengths (30, 31, 32, 33 and 34 inch). The drop 10 is the recommended bat for smaller players or those who need as much bat speed as possible. The drop 9, which is made for bigger hitters and the collegiate scene, is only found in a 33 and 34 inch. Choosing the right size 2 Legit will make your hitting experience much more enjoyable---if the ball isn't zooming off the bat on squared up hits, consider getting a different size. Other than the additional strength in the handle, the upgrades to the 2016 version are all purely cosmetic. These cosmetic changes are found in a new colorway and a more rounded knob.
