Hey DF folks,
Looking at some of the Worth bats that are being cleared out. 2013 454 one piece? 2013/ 2014 Legit two piece? 2015 454 sick one piece? Looking at size 32-22...any inside on these models is greatly appreciated!

My DD has had a couple of the orange 2Legit bats. Both had good pop, but she managed to bust the end cap out of both of them and for the life of me I could not figure out a way to glue it back that lasted more than 30 hard swings.

No matter what brand, the one piece will last you longer since many bats fail at the connection point. That said, what kind of hitter is your DD? A power hitter should probably be using an end-loaded bat which is the Sick. The Legit and the one piece 454 are balanced bats. IMO, the Legit is a hotter bat right out of the wrapper and continues to perform better overall. Plus, IMO, as well as DD's, it swings much "smoother" than the one-pieces do. Also, the advantage of a multi-piece bat over a one-piece is that mis-hits will not sting the hands nearly as much...especially on the Worths. A mis-hit on a worth one-piece, your DD will definitely pay.

DD will be 14U in Spring. Hits lefty and is a great bunter. When swings away tends to hit low liners right up the middle. her current bats are 2012 Catalyst 32-20 and a cold weather Nanotek.

From what you just posted, go with the Worth 2Legit. Just be aware that as JAD stated, they did have issues with the end caps. If you use the Loctite epoxy that comes in the syringe with the mixing nozzle, it's an easy fix though.

The early Worth 2Legit had some endcap issues, but it will still have a warranty if bought from a auth retailer, so if it busts,
you will get a new model in return :)

I honestly feel Worth made some of the best one piece bats on the planet. The 454's were awesome.
But the one piece bats do give you "feedback" if not squared up and take a little while to get loose. And as you
can see, the one piece market is pretty slim and fading fast. Majority want multipiece bats.

Btw, if fixing an endcap...the Marine Epoxy is the best. Gives you the flex you need in an epoxy for a bat
repair and awesome adhesion

Figures everyone would come up with an easy fix now, after DD switched to a Synergy....
