44 Pro WORX PWR 2026 (BBCOR) Review: Bat Lab Performance Testing + Ratings

Contact received a 2.9/5 rating. Good contact could still produce high level results, but the players found that the WORX PWR struggled to make good contact on a consistent basis.

Look and feel finished at 3.1/5. The aesthetics were popular, with a clean matte black, blue and green colorway and a sweet sound. The performance was mixed, but the consensus among the players was the WORX PWR is an underrated bat that can bring versatility to a wide range of hitters.

Just like with pop, the players found the barrel less forgiving than other bats with similar sized sweet spots. They gave the sweet spot a 3/5, liking the pop from pure contact, but unhappy with the precision required to maximize power off the bat.

The 44 Pro WORX PWR 2026 earned a 3.3/5 for balance. For a bat with a balanced weight distribution, players felt it still had a slight end-loaded feel, giving the bat a little more resistance throughout the swing.

The bat earned a 2.9/5 for pop. WORX PWR could provide power, but players were once again dissatisfied with the bat’s inconsistency, feeling that they needed to hit the exact center to unlock the full power of the bat.

The players generally liked the control of the WORX PWR. However they gave it a 3/5, docking it for the slight extra effort it took to keep the bat level through the zone.

The 44 Pro WORX PWR 2026 averaged 89.66 mph in exit velocity, but topped out at 107.46 mph. Compared to the player baseline, it decreased by -5.6 mph, or -5.8%. Hitters saw a noticeable average decline, but could still generate good speed when they hit the ball on the nose.

Average distance came in at 312.25 ft, but soared with the longest ball carrying 437.3 ft. The WORX PWR finished -6.0 ft below baseline, a -2.1% decrease. The decreased exit velocity carried over to distance, showing less lift on average.

Sweet spot rate averaged 39.6% finishing -12.89% below baseline. Despite the large barrel profile, the sweet spot was not forgiving and required direct contact to generate lift.

The WORX PWR’s weakest metric in the Trackman profile was hard hit rate. The bat produced a 41.1% hard-hit rate, decreasing by -21.55% below baseline. Good contact could generate impressive power, but the bat struggled to square up the ball consistently and did not produce great results on slight mishits.

Barreled rate averaged 13.5% and decreased -5.71% below baseline. The consistency was a recurring issue. The bat could do serious damage when hitting the pure sweet spot, but it struggled to find that sweet spot.

The 44 Pro WORX PWR 2026 averaged 71.4 mph in bat speed, with the fastest swing going 83.7 mph. It finished -2.8 mph, or -3.8%, below the baseline. The bat had a bit of resistance and did not flow seamlessly through the zone.

The bat did not accelerate the players hands, showing it lacked efficiency and control. Peak hand speed on the WORX PWR averaged 20.9 mph, with a top speed of 24.7 mph. Against baseline, the WORX PWR decreased -0.9 mph, or -4.1%.

Time to contact averaged 0.149 seconds, with a best mark of 0.130 seconds. The bat increased by +0.006 seconds, or +4.5%, relative to baseline. The inconsistent contact shows here as well, as the players struggled to control the bat through the zone and could not adjust quickly to the ball.
