Championship Croquet Set

For many years there were two types of croquet set - good quality sets at a very high price, and poor quality sets at a lower price. Thankfully, this situation is changing as some really quite impressive sets at very good prices are becoming increasingly available, broadening the appeal of croquet. The Uber Games Championship set is a very good example of this. What this set does so well, is to put the quality where you need it most - in particular mallets and balls! Get these two right, and you'll have a great time playing croquet. The mallets supplied with the Championship set are remarkably good for the price - they have solid octagonal-section handles, profiled so that they flex in just the way you would want them to, and (amazingly for the price), square rosewood mallet heads with brass rings. This sort of mallet head is usually found on far more expensive sets and really makes this set. The brass rings protect the mallet, reducing substantially the risk of the wood chipping. What we also like about the mallets is that the set (uniquely in our experience) contains 2 mallet lengths (38-inches and 34-inches). This enables players to select a mallet that best suits them. The balls are also very good - made from modern composite materials, they are long-lasting and regulation size and weight. The hoops are not the most critical aspect of a croquet set, however these again are far better than just a of metal rod bent into a u-shape. All in all, our Championship Croquet Set really is a very good buy.

Storage Options
We offer a number of storage options to go with this set. You can puchase just the set if you wish, or you can add to your order a wooden box, trolley, or bag - more details about these options are given below.

Accessories
We offer a number of accessories to go with this set. The secondary colours are worth having if more than 4 people will be playing at the same time, or when playing with 2 balls. We also offer extra mallets. The Junior & Intermediate mallets are great for encouraging the children to take up this great game.

	Set of 4 Secondary Colour Regulation Size & Weight Croquet Balls - Uber Our Uber 16oz balls are full-weight and full-size (9.2cm). These modern, long lasting composite balls are durable and provide excellent play. These are the balls that Uber supply with their top-end croquet sets. Along with mallets, croquet balls are the most important part of a croquet set. Get it right, and you will be able to really feel the shot, and appreciate fully the right "knock" as one ball hits another. The important thing to look for in a croquet ball is that it is of regulation size and weight (a regulation croquet ball must be 3 5/8" diameter, and weigh 16 ounces), as a ball that is too light or too small will not behave in the way it should do. Finding regulation size & weight balls is actually not as easy as you might think, and if you do find them, they are usually quite highly priced - until now that is. Our replacement balls are made from a tough composite material and will provide years of good service. We offer so-called primary colours (Red, Blue, Black & yellow), as well as the secondary colours (Pink, Brown, White & Green). We sell individual balls, or as sets of primary or secondary colours.  enlarge
