Here is where the gullies, rocks and chiggers provide the crucible for champions. The Equipment Extreme croquet demands heavy duty equipment. The mallets used in regular lawn croquet are too flimsy, and are easily broken or shattered. It's not even uncommon to shatter a ball in extreme croquet. The mallets for extreme croquet are usually made with heavy-duty handles, and hardwood, plastic, or composite heads.
Many players wrap their handles with various materials for grip or comfort.
The Connecticut eXtreme Croquet Society was founded in 1984 in West Hartford, Connecticut, and has been enjoying an unbroken schedule of play and matches ever since. We continue to choose very difficult playing courses such as woodland areas, lowland marshes, and sites with varied terrain. But our favorite courses are drainage basins, stream beds and uncharted jungle. It is not intended to provide participatory advice.
