Executive Croquet Set
Product Review
This set has tubular steel hoops with carrots so that they stay firmly set even after a lot of play. There is a hoop drill and rubber mallet. For our ground at Bygrave this mallet isn't heavy enough so we use a more industrial one which works well. The hoop drill saves a lot of time and you can tap them the last little bit with the rubber mallet. The mallets have round English Ash heads which are brass bound for strength and have octagonal ash shafts and leather grips. The shape makes it easy to hold the mallet on the correct line. Two different sizes are supplied in the set which is handy. The balls are regulation size and weight and of composite material so very durable and maintenance free. The metal clips are of excellent quality and will last for years. Corner flags are very attractive and bring colour to your croquet lawn. They have steel poles and are very easy to set up. The centre peg has an extension for clips and conforms to the regulations.

4 - English Ash mallets with brass protective rings and octagonal English Ash handles - approximately 3lbs each; 2 – 97cm (38”) Mallet with 24cm (9.5”) x 8cm (3”) English Ash Head 2 – 87cm (34”) Mallet with 24cm (9.5”) x 8cm (3”) English Ash Head 4 - 16oz composite balls 9cm (3 5/8”) in diameter 6 - Steel club hoops with carrot (16mm diameter) 51cm (20”) high, 10cm (4”) wide, dipped to 21cm (8”) to leave regulation 30cm (12”) above ground 1 - Hoop Drill (to create the carrot holes for the club hoops) 1 - Hoop “smasher” mallet with rubber head (important as the rubber protects the hoops) 4 - Corner flags with metal poles 4 - Coloured metal croquet clips 1 - Hardwood Centre peg with topper 56cm (22”) high 3cm (1 ½ ”) in diameter The set can be supplied with a Nylon Bag, Wooden Trolley, or a Wooden Box. |
