All about our mallets

Accuracy

We make our mallets so accurately to eliminate inaccuracy caused by striking face variation.

Our mallets guarantee the both striking faces of our alloy mallets are exactly ninety degrees to the centre line of the mallet. Why? Because with every degree of offset, a ball may be incorrectly hit by one inch over seven feet six inches - and that error is not the fault of the player.


Striking face 'offset' may occur at the time of manufacture, because wood changes shape over time due to consistent impact shock and moisture absorption, because Fibre Glass/Carbon Fibre 'compress shatters' over a period of time and/or because glues have been used.


All these possibilities have been eliminated in the manufacture of our mallets. There is absolutely no variation to the plane of the mallet and the Striking Face. The Striking Faces will remain at ninety degrees for life. The materials used and the method of manufacture ensures a perfectly 'true' profile for the life of the mallet.

The holes

The concept of the design of our mallet is to reduce the effort necessary to send a croquet ball to any destination accurately.

The number and position of the holes in this patented design has achieved exactly this objective, reducing the impact to send a ball the desired distance and thereby increasing accuracy because you don't have to hit the ball quite so hard.

One solid piece of metal

Our mallet heads are made from one piece of alloy. Using this technique, we are able to machine the mallet in one process with no interference. This enables extreme accuracy. In fact it takes almost 30 minutes to make the alloy mallet and the striking faces at the same time.

Aviation grade spring alloy

Our unique aviation grade alloy is used because it is 100% consistent throughout. We have found only this alloy enables us to make an extremely accurate mallet. This manufacturing precision and accuracy can not be achieved using any other material. Almost perfect balance is attainable using alloy.

The unique alloy used in the Hoop Maker enables impact shock to be accurately predicted and used to increase user comfort. This really is a technological leap forward in mallet design and construction which has enabled us to achieve our aim of producing the most reliable and 'comfortable' mallet it's possible to manufacture.
