Evolution Mallets

These mallets have evolved from several years sourcing the best possible materials and trialling different concepts and  configurations. Only recently have the rules of croquet allowed the use of metal end plates.  These are the next generation. 

8 or 10mm thick sandblasted stainless steel end plates are used to provide peripheral weighting to an attractive Indian rosewood head measuring 55mm wide by 60mm high.  The standard head length is 10” in length but custom lengths are made to order. 

These are superbly balanced mallets that provide the player with more power and yet maintain better control. By increasing the length of the head, and re-distributing some of the mass to the striking faces, the moment of inertia is increased. This makes the head more stable during the swing, particularly for making accurate rushes, long roquets, and hitting-in. Also the mallet is less likely to twist when shots are hit off-centre.

The virtually indestructible 17.5mm diameter carbon and fiber glass shaft is foam filled to minimize vibrations. They're made to a reasonably stiff flex unless otherwise requested. EVA is a closed cell foam grip material being waterproof, comfortable and light.

The EVA is specifically made in a 35mm tubular form of relatively firm hardness. The grip sections are individually shaped to a traditional octoganal shape measuring 31mm x 26mm but this can be customised to suit the player. The whole handle weighs an average of just 10 ounces. Unless specifically requested, the EVA comes to within 40mm of the head however, we can adjust this length as required. Similarly we can supply the 36mm plain round grip if preferred.
