Basic Mallet (CF1)

Consists of a 10" (25.4 cm) head with the wood of your choice (though Ebony, Cocobolo or Lignum Vitae cost a little more), black/white sight line and double end caps, a 36" (91.4 cm) Ash shaft with tape grip of your colour choice and a total weight of 3 lb (1361 g). Finished with four layers of water resistant 'Danish Oil' buffed to a satin sheen.

I am now one of the largest producers of ash shafted mallets and the largest supplier of ash replacement shafts for broken mallets in the UK. Any length available.

Shaft Types

Shafts
  • Carbon Fibre/Wood (CF5)

An octagonal, hollow, straight-grained Pine handle fitted on the carbon fibre shaft. The handle is lightweight and very strong, giving the mallet a low centre of gravity with an easy swing and ideal for those players that prefer the feel of wood or a tape grip. This shaft weighs approximately 8 oz (227 g).

CF5 Shaft
  • Carbon Fibre/Duplon (CF6)

A carbon fibre tube fitted with a full length Duplon sleeve. The lower part of the Duplon is round in section and merges into an octagonal shape for the main part of the handle.

  • Carbon Fibre/Duplon (CF7)

This carbon fibre shaft has no Duplon grip on the lower section and has an aluminium socket. This shaft is popular with Golf Croquet players.

CF7 Shaft
  • Carbon Fibre/Duplon (CF8)

A full-length carbon fibre tube fitted with a lightweight octagonally shaped Duplon foam handle. This shaft weighs approximately 5 1/2 oz (156 g). All these shaft types are removable, rotatable or changeable.

CF8 Shaft
  • Carbon Fibre/Cork/Duplon (CF10)
Cork

Solid Natural Cork handle grip on a carbon fibre tube shaft with a Duplon lower grip either in the traditional style or a continuous transition from cork to Duplon without the gap in the middle (CF11).

This is a wonderful grip being very tactile and hard waring providing excellent grip and shock absorbing characteristics. The cork has been manufactured to my specifications by an Internationally recognised company that produces cork products as diverse as table mats and parts for satellites. Being a natural product cork requires considerable hand labour so the cost is greater than other products but is a much superior grip. In order to protect the cork from dirt it has been treated with Danish Oil that provide a suitable barrier and as you aware cork is completely impervious to water so providing excellent grip in inclement weather.

Weighting

  • Peripheral weighting

All mallets are weighted by inserting lead plugs into the head behind the end plates, thus placing the maximum weight at the ends of the head. For those who would prefer the TM Range this additional weighting is achieved in the form of stainless steel or brass plates (instead of the lead plugs) that are screwed to the wooden head and Tufnol end caps glued to the plates.

Peripherally weighted mallet
  • Adjustable weighting
Adjustable weighting system

This system allows the player to easily adjust the weight of the mallet adding or removing any number of five lead discs, each weighing approximately 0.75 ozs.

  • Combination

Both of the above options can be combined in one mallet.

TM Mallet

A full-length carbon fibre tube fitted with a lightweight octagonal shaped Duplon foam handle that is both hardwearing and very comfortable to use. Fitted to an Ebony or Rosewood head. These mallets includes the adjustable weight and peripheral weight systems as standard.
