The Art of Choosing the Right Polo Mallets

Simple steps to picking out the right Polo mallet for you

Of all the pieces of polo equipment needed to play the game at any level, polo mallets are one of the most important. To play polo, it is essential that you choose a mallet that is ideally suited to you and has the right characteristics to fit your style of play and other specific requirements, whether you are a beginner, or an advanced player. There are several steps that you should take to determine you choose the right mallet.

Ideally, you should start by talking to a professional that is qualified to give advice about polo mallets. An expert will always ask you a series of questions to get a good idea of the kind of mallet that you will need. For example, how tall are you? What is your weight? How would you describe your build (stocky, medium, slender)? How old are you? What is your glove size? These questions will give a Polo maker or retailer a good idea of the size range of mallet that you will require.

In order to create a further profile of you, it is also important for them to know more about your experience of playing Polo, what position you play, how often you play and in what condition of field, how many polo mallets you break/buy a year, and of course, the kind of budget that you are looking at. From building a profile like this, it is much easier to determine the specific characteristics that your polo mallet or mallets will need to suit you.

Like with most polo equipment, ideally, polo mallets should feature a number of individual characteristics that combine to work for the individual player. The elements of a polo mallet are the cane, which is the most important variable of a mallet, and the head. There must be a good balance and feel between the two elements in order for a mallet to be comfortable to play with.

The process of finding a mallet for more experienced players is much simpler, as they have a good idea of the kind of characteristics that they are looking for in a mallet. It is easy for experienced players to go and look for a mallet that is identical, or very similar to one that they already own should it be heavily used and in need of replacement.
