Almost one year ago, I bought my daughter the Worth Eclipse composite fastpitch bat. Immediately after use, the end of the bat, the paint starts coming up rather quickly, I thought nothing of it. Well, last weekend my daughter's bat was pulled for showing bat material, there are two places on the bat barrel where hunks (or looks like holes, but not complete holes) of material came out from impact. Later that night when we got home, I cleaned the bat off and find what look liked some hairline cracks throughout the bat barrel. I called Worth today and told them what happened and my concerned that the bat was pulled for the two places on the bat barrel and the end cap area. She said gave me an RA#, but said the replacement would be the Worth Storm Alloy bat. I declined and stated that I actually purchased the Storm Alloy bat when I purchased the eclipse and my daughter uses the eclipse and didn't care for the Storm Alloy, and that also that I didn't think it was fair I am being offered an alloy bat in place of a composite bat. I purchased these bats directly from Worth's website. I never had to use a warranty on a bat, is this common practice? I requested to speak to a supervisor and before being transferred to the supervisor, the rep told me that the supervisor will tell me the samething. I am not happy, but want some insight. Thanks!
