Earls Court 6 Player Croquet Set Review

Earls Court 6 Player Croquet Set Feature

• Towel gripped mallets
• Solid wooden croquet balls
• Steel rod wickets
• Boundary flags
• Pamphlet on rules

Croquet was introduced at the St Louis Olympic Games in 1904 as an Olympic sport. The EC6 set is different from our other sets because it has less expensive components. It is clearly better than the sets available in the warehouse or big box stores, but it is not of the same quality as our London Green or Scotland Yard sets. It comes with everything necessary for an official 6-wicket tournament game or the more familiar 9-wicket backyard game. Set includes 6 laminated solid wood mallets with 32 inch handles wrapped with towel wrapped grips. The 6 biaxially milled 12 ounce wooden croquet balls are lighter than tournament balls in our other sets. Wickets (9) are fashioned from 1/4 inch powdercoated solid steel rod, much thicker than coat hanger wire. The 2 wooden stakes are used in the nine wicket game to establish the finish and turning points. The set comes with the rules for both a 6 and 9 wicket game. The canvas bag holds everything and has handles and a shoulder strap for storage and carrying. Hand made in India.
