RPM Seal of Authenticity. If your Ray Puckett Mallet does not have this seal it is not a genuine Ray Puckett Mallet.

Croquet Mallet - Development of the RPM Croquet Mallet
11 years of development and a rigorous testing programme in New Zealand and Australia has resulted in the successful release of the unique RPM TRUE BALANCE Croquet Mallet Head.

Every Ray Puckett Mallet (RPM) is handcrafted and incorporates peripheral weighting within the croquet mallet head. This special feature results in less effort required to send balls further. The net effect is that balls can be placed with more accuracy.

With over 10,000 RPM Croquet Mallets sold worldwide, it is proven testimony to the popularity and acceptance of the Ray Puckett Croquet Mallet.

Attractive design
The RPM Mallet has a well crafted professional appearance. The off-centre sight-lines on the head give players extra confidence when faced with hampered shots around the hoops. Click here to view Mallet Heads

Detachable head
For convenience in air travel also for interchange of handle types. An aluminium fitting at the base of the handle pushes precisely into the mallet head. (Some players have found the mallet handle makes a good walking stick while travelling between events)

Balance weight
The balance weight is considerably lower than traditional mallets resulting in the strikers ball travelling further, an advantage with half rolls, full rolls, pass rolls and split shots. Stop shots may require some adjustment in technique. An optional brass weight can quickly be attached to the handle to suit lawn conditions.

Large range of shafts
Handles can be supplied in varying degrees of stiffness in carbon fibre or fibreglass. Shaft lengths (measured from the ground up when fitted) range from 31 inches to 40 inches. Shaft diameters can be supplied in several sizes. Black EVA waterproof grips are standard. Bound grips are optional. Click here to view Handle range.
