Questions parents ask
What is the difference between the Colonial mallet and other Jaques croquet mallets
The Colonial is our top range model, with a square African Rockwood head and brass ring detailing. Other mallets in the range do not carry this head timber or competition specification.
What wood is the Colonial croquet mallet head made from
The head is square African Rockwood with a brass ring around it. The shaft is a separate octagonal ash handle, so two timbers are used for two different jobs.
Why is the handle octagonal instead of round
The handle is competition quality octagonal ash, fitted with a wind on Takair grip. The octagonal shape gives a fixed reference point for your hand alignment on every swing.
What age is a croquet mallet like this suitable for
This mallet is made for adults. It is a full length, full weight competition specification mallet rather than a lighter junior model.
How much does a croquet mallet weigh
This mallet weighs approximately 1.2kg, or 2lb 10oz. Weight can vary slightly because the head and handle are natural wood, not a moulded material.
What are the dimensions of a croquet mallet head
The head measures 9 inches by 2 3/4 inches by 2 5/8 inches, roughly 23cm by 70mm by 67mm. Overall mallet length is 37 1/2 inches, or 95cm.
How long does it take to get a Jaques croquet mallet
This mallet is made to order, with a minimum of 2 days from order to dispatch. Allow up to 10 working days to receive it.
Has the design of this croquet mallet changed over the years
No. The specification is virtually unchanged since the mid 20th century, so you are buying the same build that competition players have used for decades.
