Equipment Needed to Play Croquet

Video Transcript

Alright in this segment I want to talk to you about the equipment that you need besides the playing field. There's very inexpensive croquet kits out there, there's used croquet kits, there's croquet kits out there that run upwards of six hundred dollars. Obviously the better you get, the longer it's going to last. So here's what you need, every croquet kit comes with two stakes. Those two stakes are color coded with blue, red, black and yellow. The same with all four balls you've got a red ball, a blue ball, a black ball and a yellow ball and this is actually the order that you're playing in. Then, what else you need is you need nine wickets, these are called wickets, they're driven into the ground and these are what balls go through to score points and score bonus points to continue your round. Now the most important thing is your mallet, your mallet can range depending on your kits, but I like a nice block kind of heavy but not too heavy, Old school right? But a nice little mallet that you can swing pretty nicely, it's about three feet and the cool thing about this is it's got a handle on it that's actually leather wrapped. So sweat or anything like that is not going to bother you, it's light weight and anybody can pretty much hold this and swing this and create a form to get this going. So, you know other things you might want to bring are, you know your mallets pretty much work as a hammer and they also work as a tape measure, so we'd have to measure stuff. But you could bring a hammer and you could bring a tape measure, but for the most part all you really need is this equipment, a field whether it's regulation or your back yard and you're ready to play croquet.
