This is a review of a 26oz Worth Resmondo “World Series Edition (WSE)” Titan #759/800.
The criteria used in this review will be based on 8 categories; price, pop, distance, feel, sound, durability, looks, and sweetspot. This bat was brand new in wrapper and used at an indoor training facility due to cold weather. I will start the review with the only quantitative category and that is price. When it comes to price I don’t have a problem with paying more for a piece of equipment if it is going to outperform others of a lesser price. The Ressy WSE retails at $299 pretty steep for your average player. I got the one being reviewed for $250 after buying in on ten of them with other guys around the U.S. So a $50 rebate is a pretty good deal as they say a penny saved is a penny earned.
When it comes to looks I could think of only one word when I pulled this stick out of the box and that was BEAUTIFUL. From the black to gray faded grip, to the white end cap and matte black finish the WSE provides a unique combination of intimidation and sexiness. I wasn’t sure if I should just hang it on the wall and admire it or see how this bad boy really performed, I chose the latter. From first swing I was in shock of how hot this stick was.
When it comes to sound the first cut sounded like a shotgun exploding, the sound of this bat straight out of wrapper is unmatched by anything I have ever heard before. During the session I put about 100 swings on the bat and the crack of the ball off the bat progressively got louder and more forceful, it was music to my ears. I think pop and distance go hand in hand so I will put those together and since I was hitting indoors I can’t get a true feeling of the distance. The pop on the WSE is amazing from swing one and just keeps getting better and better. Grounders and line-drives were missiles leaving the infield with incredible exit speeds and the ones I really got a hold of I would say would easily leave a 300 foot field. Wish I could have been outdoors to get a true distance but honestly I would say a masher would have no problem dropping 350 foot bombs consistently.
The sweetspot on the WSE is HUGEEEEEE covering the whole barrel of the bat and when you hit it dead on the ball just bounces off of it with a trampoline like effect. If you can’t hit the sweetspot on this thing please choose another sport. The one ounce endload in the WSE makes the feel of this bat amazing and swinging through the zone effortless. The amount of speed you can get on your swing with the WSE is insane, bombs away. The only thing about this bat that worries me is durability. There have been many instances where people say that their WSE’s have broke with less than 500 swings on it. After 100 swings my WSE has a small sand rattle to it which is normal for Worth bats and absolutely no webbing which is probably due to the matte finish. Only time will tell how mine will hold up but if it lasts 800 or more swings I will be thrilled.
Overall I am very impressed with the WSE and proud to say that I own one. I would almost give it 10’s across the board. If price is a non issue go out and get this bat you are at a serious disadvantage if you don’t have one!!
