Heads
The mallet heads are made from sustainably managed Indian Sheesham wood which is chosen for its high density, stability and attractive rich colour. The timber is semi processed and air dried before having an inlaid sighting line and ‘Tufnol’ end plates fitted. Tufnol is widely recognized as being the most satisfactory material for use on the striking area of a croquet mallet. It’s a 12 mm thick brown resin-impregnated cloth material, which is bonded with a slightly flexible adhesive onto the ends. The end plates are virtually unbreakable and provide a crisp and true surface for striking the ball.
Our standard mallet head measures 255 mm (10″) long x 60 mm (2 3/8″) wide x 65 mm (2 1/2″) high. Mallet heads may be made to other specifications if you prefer.
Handles
The octagonal shaped handles are made from American white ash and measure 26 mm x 30 mm before the grip is fitted. This can be customized if required. The 17 mm carbon shaft is fitted three inches into the handle and is extremely strong.
The average handle weighs 12 oz.
Weights
When an appropriate mallet handle has been fitted, lead weights are inserted into pre-drilled holes on the under side of the head and then plugged with hardwood dowels to achieve the desired overall weight. The standard weight mallet is 3.00 lbs overall.
Our distinctive gold crest is stamped on one side of the mallet head and the overall mallet weight stamped on the handle. Each mallet then receives no less than four spray coats of epoxy urethane with sanding in between coats to create a high luster, hard wearing finish.
Initials
To personalize the mallet, short names or initials may be stamped on the blank side of the mallet head in gold at no extra charge. Please note that we can only print in capitals at 36 pts as shown above. 6 letters is the maximum.
If you prefer to have a name or letters printed in gold on a 12 or 18 mm black label, please just mention it when ordering. The advantage of a label is that it’s removable if circumstances change.
Grip Options
We use synthetic hockey stick grips. They’re very comfortable, light and long lasting. At 1.6 meters long they can wrap the full length of most octagonal handles. These are fitted as standard and are available in blue, red, black, or green.
Replacement grips can be purchased from accessories.
