The Fibercane Polo Mallet

The next generation of polo mallets

The unsustainable and dwindling supplies of the worlds manau cane from which traditional polo mallets are made, has only fuelled George Woods determination to make a superior mallet.

Finally, after 21 years of experimentation and development and 81 models later, we've done it!........

The "feel" of cane

These radical hybrid shafts are the beginning of the end for cane mallets. They have a solid shaft made from a hand laid resin impreganted silk fibers structured on a layer of carbon to maximise torsional strength and fiber glass for impact strength. Silk is is the strongest natural fiber known to man. They're lighter and stronger than before and feel like canes and yet outperform them in every way. The average total mallet weight with a 200 gram head is 535 grams despite the molded handle being approximately 30 grams heavier than a traditional handle.

Larger sweet spot

Opposing 45 degree wraps of carbon on the larger diameter shafts have increased the torsional strength and allow less twist with off center hits therefore increasing the sweetspot considerably and producing a more "solid" feel.

Minimized vibration

Vibration reduction technology has been used in the form of a foam core to minimize the magnitude and frequency transmission of vibrations to the handle. This not only gives a jar free performance but decreases the likelihood of the shaft being shattered by impact.

The chart below shows a typical decrease in the magnitude of impact vibrations between hollow and foam filled shafts.

The result, all the benefits of a composite mallet that feels like cane but offering the consistency, power, control and strength of modern technology.

These mallets have evolved from the Graflite mallet which was the worlds most popular composite mallet. They are marginally heavier than the Graflite and are designed to carry medium to heavywieght heads and are suitable for polo at all levels. The market responce in worldwide has been quite overwhelming. Polo legend Memo Gracida says "They're fantastic, Well done George, You've done it!" His brother Carlos also uses them shown here playing for Ellerston in the Gold Cup UK. A rapidly growing number of players of all levels are realising the advantages which the Fibercane offers.

Stronger

By reducing the harmonics of the vibration, the shaft is much less likley to shatter. The organic materials allow for much greater flex upon impact.

Recent workshop tests have shown them to be considerably stronger than any other mallet on the market.

Everlasting molded handle
A revolutionary new molded handle is now available. It's simply the best polo mallet handle ever made. The sling can be adjusted or replaced simply by removing two screws. An over molded soft feel comfort grip should outlast any other conventional grip. Totally impervious, it can be washed in between games if required. There are two sizes, medium and large.

Available for purchase directly or ask for them at your nearest store.
