Wood Mallets Original Croquet Mallet, 36-inch, 3-pound

Wood Mallets has earned a reputation worldwide for the superb craftsmanship of its croquet mallets. Each croquet mallet is made to the highest possible standard using the best materials by craftsmen who are proud of their workmanship. Whether for the international croquet champion or the backyard player, our equipment is made to look great and to perform well.

The Wood Mallets Original Croquet Mallet uses only selected clear American white ash for its handle. The lower half of the handle is turned on a copy lathe and the top half is hand shaped to a positive and traditional octagonal pattern. Split leather is added to the grip area for the perfect grip each time the mallet is swung.

For the head we are use Massa, a very hard wood from South America. Massa is an extraordinary close-grained timber which is sustainably-managed and independently-certified 'FSC Pure', meaning that it is sourced from 100% legal and well-managed forests.

The timber is kiln-dried, the croquet mallet has an inlaid sighting-line and Tufnol end plates fitted. Tufnol is widely recognized as being the best material for use on the striking area of a croquet mallet. It is a 12mm-thick brown resin-impregnated cloth material, which is bonded with a slightly flexible adhesive onto the ends of the mallet head. The end plates are virtually unbreakable and provide a crisp and true surface for striking the ball.

Lead balancing weights are inserted into the underside of the head and plugged with quila dowels to achieve a precise mallet weight.

Our distinctive Wood Mallets gold crest is stamped on one side of the mallet head and the overall mallet weight is stamped on the handle. Each mallet receives no less than four spray coats of epoxy urethane with sanding in between coats to create a high luster, hard wearing finish.
