Richmond Croquet mallet Full size Elm mallet (0+ Years)

The Richmond is a full size mallet made from elm, with a round head shaped to assist beginners in making clean contact with the ball. It suits a new player just starting out in croquet rather than a competitive player wanting a specific head weight or design. If you already own a Jaques set and need a matching or replacement mallet, the Richmond is built to the same standard proportions, so it sits alongside existing equipment without looking out of place.

It is made from elm, finished with a high polish. The polish is not just cosmetic, it also protects the wood from moisture and everyday wear during play on grass. Elm is a dense, natural material, so grain and exact weight vary slightly from mallet to mallet, which is normal and expected rather than a fault. This is a solid wood construction, not a printed or laminated finish.

The Richmond has a round head, designed to help new players line up and strike the ball with more consistency while learning the swing. This shape is specifically described as assisting the playing of shots, which is why it is aimed at beginners rather than advanced players who may prefer other head profiles. It is a straightforward, forgiving design to start out with.

The Richmond is a full size mallet, with an overall length of 37 and a half inches, or 95cm. The head measures 9 inches wide by 3 inches diameter, which is 23cm wide by 76mm diameter. It weighs approximately 1kg, or 2.2lb. It is listed for adult use, so check these measurements against your existing set or your own height before ordering.

Not precisely. The approximate weight is 1kg, or 2.2lb, but final weight can vary slightly because wood is a natural material. Reviewers have specifically noted that the Richmond mallet is a good match with existing sets, so small natural variation has not been an issue in practice for people topping up or replacing a mallet. If you need an exact match, it is worth checking dimensions against your current mallet.

The Richmond is highly polished, and that polish is there to protect the elm as well as improve its appearance. Because it is solid wood rather than a sealed synthetic material, it benefits from being kept dry and stored away from damp ground when not in use. Reviewers describe the mallets as excellent quality and built to last, which points to a finish meant for years of outdoor play rather than a single season.

Yes, it is aimed squarely at new players, since the round head is designed to help beginners make good contact with the ball. It has the polished, traditional look associated with Jaques croquet sets, which reviewers describe as having a quintessentially English feel. As a full size adult mallet with clear dimensions and weight listed, it is easy to check it will suit the person you are buying it for before you order.

Yes, it is sold as an individual mallet, which suits players needing a single replacement rather than a full new set. Customers have specifically praised it as an ideal replacement and a perfect match with existing sets. Since it shares the same full size dimensions, 95cm length and 1kg approximate weight, it is designed to fit in alongside mallets you may already own.
