NEWCOMERS TO CROQUET
Please read the information below, it will really help you a lot.
Handle length.
As the use of a croquet mallet revolves around the physique of an individual AND the handle, it’s very important you select a handle that suits your physique. There are no rules, so the best way to find the most comfortable handle length for you is to play with your club mallets which have different handle lengths until you find the most comfortable length handle that suits you. You will know it when you find it.
Start with a wooden mallet or a metal mallet?
•Metal mallets certainly last longer and are usually less troublesome during their life.
•Wooden mallets are usually less expensive and have been the ‘original mallet purchase’ for a long time until metal mallets became universally available in the past 20 years. Some countries promote wooden mallets for newcomers’, others metal. The trend is toward metal.
Head size (head length)
•Two sizes are more common – 9 ½” (24cm) or 11” (28cm) (give or take a little, as different manufacturers make slightly different sizes but still within those two size ranges)
•Newcomers usually prefer the smaller 9 ½” (24cm) mallets because that is usually the size of the mallets for beginners in the club house. It’s fair to say newcomers find the shorter length easier to use because they are shorter and they seem to swing a little more easily for beginners.
Range of mallet weights.
•Wooden “Club mallets” are usually about 3lbs. (1.361kg) and this is usually the weight of wooden 'club' mallets. If you are considering a wooden mallet, contact the manufacturer to determine what other weights they have available.
They will help you select the best weight to suit you.
•Metal mallets come in a variety of weights – ranging from 2lbs (0.97kg) up to 3lbs 5ozs (1.503kg). Their weights are very accurate and don’t vary with weather conditions. We suggest you contact the manufacturer to receive advice of the best weight to suit you.
Why consider different mallet weights
•The weight of your new mallet is very important.
- Younger folks and fit players usually prefer mallets in the 3lb +. (1.361kg+ ) range.
- People with wrist, arm, shoulder, upper or lower back problems or with Arthritis tend to prefer a lighter mallet in the range of 2lbs(0.97kg) up to 2 lbs. 11ozs. (1.219kg). These specific weights are readily available in a range of metal mallets, and may be available in wooden mallets – but check with the manufacturer-.
- Older folks appreciate the lighter mallets as they are easier to carry around the court, hit just as well as the heavier mallets and are just as accurate.
