Questions parents ask
Solomon or another Jaques croquet mallet, which one to choose
The Solomon has been Jaques best selling professional grade mallet for nearly 50 years, designed with John Solomon, a Croquet champion. It suits play at all levels, from lawn games to tournament, so it is a safe choice if you want one mallet that covers both.
what wood is a Lignum Vitae mallet head made from
The head is Lignum Vitae, fitted with solid brass rings. The face is scored for a more accurate hitting surface and for protection during long shots.
why do croquet mallet heads have brass rings
The brass rings protect the Lignum Vitae head and help control long shots. The face itself is also scored for the same reason and for a more accurate strike.
is the Solomon mallet handle wood or composite
The handle is solid Ash with a wind-on competition grip. It is fitted to a Lignum Vitae head, so the whole mallet is natural material throughout.
how heavy is a tournament croquet mallet
This mallet weighs approximately 1.55kg (3lb 7oz). Final weight can vary slightly because wood is a natural material, not a manufactured composite.
