Description
New to the George Wood range the Hybrid mallet is well priced and particularly suited to Golf Croquet. It has a 17mm carbon shaft with an octagonal wooden handle on the top half. Available in weights from 2 lbs 8 oz through to 3 lbs 4 oz and can be made to virtually any length.
Head
The mallet heads are made from sustainably managed Indian Sheesham wood which is chosen for its high density, stability and attractive rich colour. The timber is semi processed and air dried before having an inlaid sighting line and ‘Tufnol’ end plates fitted. Tufnol is widely recognized as being the most satisfactory material for use on the striking area of a croquet mallet. It’s a 12 mm thick brown resin-impregnated cloth material, which is bonded with a slightly flexible adhesive onto the ends. The end plates are virtually unbreakable and provide a crisp and true surface for striking the ball.
Our 9 1/4″ mallet head measures 255 mm (9 1/4″) long x 60 mm (2 3/8″) wide x 65 mm (2 1/2″) high.
Due to limited space we usually keep just a couple of sizes of these mallets in stock other sizes are available as a special order.
Handle
The octagonal shaped handles are made from American white ash and measure 26 mm x 30 mm before the grip is fitted. This can be customized if required. The 17 mm carbon shaft is fitted three inches into the handle and is extremely strong.
The average handle weighs 12 oz

Weights
When an appropriate mallet handle has been fitted, lead weights are inserted into pre-drilled holes on the under side of the head and then plugged with hardwood dowels to achieve the desired overall weight. The standard weight mallet is 3.00 lbs overall.
Our distinctive gold crest is stamped on one side of the mallet head and the overall mallet weight stamped on the handle. Each mallet then receives no less than four spray coats of epoxy urethane with sanding in between coats to create a high luster, hard wearing finish.
Grip
The Hybrid mallets are fitted as standard with a black cushioned, synthetic grip. They’re very comfortable, light and long lasting. Other colours are available blue, red or green.
Replacement cushion grips are also available
