Croquet Equipment


Croquet is one of the world's most elegant and stately outdoor games, so you'll want croquet equipment that's top of the line, particularly if you're entering competitions. At Croquet.com, we can direct you to a nice selection of croquet mallets, croquet balls, croquet stakes, croquet wickets, and croquet flags. Following is some basic information about croquet equipment, along with regulation sizes and colors:


A standard croquet mallet (contemporary croquet mallets are mostly square-headed with plastic faces) weighs 3 pounds with a 36-inch shaft and a 9-11 inch head length. The shaft of the croquet mallet should be extremely lightweight, with most of the weight concentrated in the head. The faces of today's mallets are typically made of a hard plastic composite or metal. Croquet mallet shafts are typically wood, fiberglass, and carbon fiber.


Blue, red, black, and yellow are the primary colors for croquet balls. For more informal garden play, croquet balls tend to weigh less than 16 ounces. Croquet balls for competition must be 1 pound in weight (plus or minus a quarter of an ounce) and 3 5/8 inches in diameter.

The croquet peg, or croquet stake, should have a height above the ground of 18 inches, and a uniform diameter of 1.5 inches above the ground.


Only cast or welded metal hoops, or croquet wickets, are accepted for competitive croquet games. A croquet hoop must be 12 inches above the ground (measured to the top of the crown). Because croquet wickets take many hits from croquet balls, they need to be sturdily secured into the ground. Corquet wickets should always remain straight and secure.


Other pieces of complete croquet sets include flags (typically in blue, black, red, and yellow), consisting of linen on a croquet stake. You might also choose to incorporate corner markers, which are cylinders with a tapered end or with a central metal spike. Clips are also used in croquet, to mark which croquet hoop is the next to be made by a particular color of croquet ball. The clips should match the colors of the croquet balls, and are made of plastic or metal.


You'll find a great selection of croquet equipment here, to suit whatever type of croquet player you might be.
