Round vs. square: the great mallet debate
Dalby Croquet Club is looking to update its kit for 2026 and wants members to vote on round or square mallet heads. Drop a comment and let the club know your preference.
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!
