Halex Select 6-Player Croquet Set in Deluxe Carry Case Reviews
125 of 125 people found the following review helpful: ![]() This review is from: Halex Select 6-Player Croquet Set in Deluxe Carry Case (Sports) A friend of mine bought this set for our Memorial Day picnic. We played two games with it and two of the mallets are now broken. Both broke when someone tried to knock somebody else's ball far away, but this is a normal tactic in croquet so it wasn't really excesive usage. In fact, one of the people who ended up breaking a mallet was a 9 year old kid, so it didn't take that much strength. The handles are made from a very light wood, and they were brave enough to cut ridges into the handles that weaken the material even more. This is a fine set if you don't want to spend that much and a bunch of beginers are going to use it and not be that aggressive, but if you're serious about a croquet set, spend a little more to get something that can hold up to the sport. 30 of 30 people found the following review helpful: ![]() Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Halex Select 6-Player Croquet Set in Deluxe Carry Case (Sports) The set is not really full sized, in that the mallets are short; however, adults can still use them, and small children can also. The balls are lighter weight and so don't roll well in grass. One of the mallet sticks was too small and so would not stay screwed in to the mallet head and had to be glued. For a family outing where you don't really care about the game but just want something cheap and portable, the set is fine. The price was certainly right. 29 of 29 people found the following review helpful: ![]() By Andy "Computer Enthusiast" (Jersey City, NJ) - See all my reviews This review is from: Halex Select 6-Player Croquet Set in Deluxe Carry Case (Sports) I was able to get this set at a local retailer for only $25, needless to say it was a no brainier compared to the much more expensive sets. The proportions are perfect for children under 9 years old. This is not an adult set, but you can make it work even if you're really tall (just bend a bit more!). The set includes every thing you will need and the one sheet instructions shows a diagram of a proper court. The nylon bad holds everything, including the assembled sticks. The problem with most of these assemble / dissemble Croquet sets is the handles always fall off in due time. So, I used very good quality wood glue (get the indoor / outdoor glue - not just indoor) and put it on both sides of the groves in the mallet head, then hand twist tight and let it dry. You will be creating essentially 6 permanent sticks. The directions are fairly complex, but Halex Corporation is part of Regent Sports (think Spalding too). So, you can get decent customer...
