Round vs. square: the great mallet debate

s we gear up for an exciting 2026, @dalbycroquetclub is looking to level up our kit! Most of our current mallets are the classic timber cylindrical style, but we're ready to bring some modern options to the green.

The question is... which way do we go?

The Cylindrical (Round) Head: The classic! It offers that traditional pendulum swing and the nostalgic "clack" of timber that many of us know and love.

The Rectangular (Square) Head: The modern edge. Many players find these much easier for alignment and love that they can "self-stand" while you're checking your line.

We want YOUR vote!

Are you Team Round or Team Square? Drop a comment below and let us know what you prefer to play with!
