Playing the game of Croquet is so much more fun when using the beautiful and substantial specialized equipment from Jaques of London. It can be as challenging and enjoyable sport as any other. Croquet combines the need for tactical ability, judgment and skill in equal measure successfully, due to the non-physical nature of the game and a unique handicapping and Croquet rules system. Because of this the game can be enjoyed at any level by male and female players of any age and ability on equal footing.
When John Jaques introduced Croquet at the Great Exhibition in 1851 it quickly became the vogue throughout the British Empire. Thus putting Jaques at the forefront of the spread of croquet as a sport. In 1864 John Jaques II, wrote and published Croquet; the Laws and Regulations of the Game. He was regarded as the greatest authority on the game at the time. And today, (with some revision) the game of croquet is still played by those rules.
The Olympic Croquet Set is an 8 player Croquet set in a limited edition of 500 sets, allowing up to eight players to play together.
Included in this set are, four of our English Ash Octagonal Handle Woodstock mallets, two Corrigrip ash mallets with our famous grip, and two Intermediate mallets, for those who prefer a shorter mallet length. The 8 Challenge balls come in two zippered green canvas cases are blue, red, black, yellow, green, brown, white and pink, the Six hoops are the extra heavyweight Hampton models which allow the easier playing of wire shots, our wooden hoop Smasher mallet, one gold lined eight color winning peg with its removable clip peg, showing the correct order of play, eight hoop clips to mark a player’s advance round the course, eight ball markers to record a balls position when removed, and four border flags to define each corner of the court, and Jaques comprehensive Rulebook.
All components are easily stored away in a beautiful blue stained pine croquet box, 43 1/2 x 11 1/2 x 10 1/2", made to the traditional Jaques design. After you purchase your set you will be pleased to open the lid and see the lovely leather, gold embossed Jaques logo.
