Luxury Croquet Mallet In the 1950's, John Solomon started playing Croquet while still at school. Within a short time he had become the World's best player. He was world champion for several decades, until he was well into his fifties, & continued playing the game socially well into retirement. Jaques' Solomon Mallet was designed by John Solomon himself & has been expertly crafted by Jaques' Master Craftsmen ever since. The mallet features a Lignum Vitae head fitted with solid brass rings to provide protection against glancing shots. The roller handle assists in the playing of rolling shots, which add distance to the striker's ball as well as the croqueted ball. Each luxury Croquet mallet also bears John Solomon's signature. This superb mallet has been our top selling professional-grade mallet for nearly 50 years.
