Questions parents ask
is the Tonbridge set better for a beginner than Jaques' full size croquet set
Yes, this one is built specifically for younger players, with shorter 30 inch mallets and a lighter setup. It is designed as a first set, not a scaled-down version of a full-size game.
what age is the Jaques Tonbridge croquet set suitable for
It is suggested for children aged 6 to 7. The mallets and balls are sized down for smaller hands and a beginner swing.
how many players does this croquet set support
It is a 4-player set. You get four mallets, four balls and a rule book so a full family game is ready straight away.
what size are the balls and mallets in this set
The mallets are approximately 30 inches, and the balls are 75mm in diameter at 8oz each. Both are scaled down from adult croquet sizes for younger players.
how many hoops come with this croquet set
Six hoops are included, along with a winning peg in 4 colours. That is enough for a proper full lawn layout, not a cut-down mini version.
is this croquet set easy to carry to the park or beach
Yes, everything packs into the included drawstring storage bag. It is designed as a lightweight, portable set for on-the-go play, not just garden use.
does this croquet set come with instructions
Yes, an official Jaques Croquet Rule Book is included in the box. Children can start playing correctly without needing to look up rules elsewhere.
is a croquet set a good gift for a child
It is sold as a starter set for children and works well as a gift, with everything needed for four players included in one bag. Nothing else needs to be bought to start playing.
