Gosports Standard Croquet Set Includes Six 27" Mallets, 6 Balls, 9 Wickets, 2 End Stakes And Case, Natural (Croquet-02)

De muy buena calidad y muy divertido para jugar con amigos o en familia

This purchase was beyond my expectations! The quality of all components is superb. The mallets are adult length, but still very usable by our 11 yr old, have nice leather-ish wrap at the top of the handles for grip, and are sturdy & very solid when making impact. The balls have a nice heft to them, like croquet balls should have! Even the carry bag is made of a good quality light canvas material & webbing that will almost surely last for many many years of travel to come! The great quality of the product itself would have warranted 5 stars, but my experience with GoSports customer service earns a 6th star! As with all mass produced goods there's a possibility of a manufacturing defect. Our set unfortunately had a defect, whereby one of the mallet heads was cracked with the grain lengthwise. My wife was disappointed, since she loved the set, and wanted it all to be in working order for our family. I contacted Amazon customer service, and to their credit they were willing to refund the product cost or ship a new set out, but only once I sent the entire set back...but I had received the set just in time for my wife's birthday party (which was a HUGE success in part due to this croquet set!), which meant there were the obligatory grass stains on the mallet heads & balls, etc...rendering the set non-returnable. So...I researched the manufacturer, GoSports, and dropped their customer service a note relaying the situation, to see if I could simply purchase a new mallet head from them. Within 24 hrs I had received a response from a VERY helpful GoSports agent (Adrian) who, upon my emailing of the purchase invoice & a photo of the damaged head, shipped a replacement head of the exact color...for FREE...AND it arrived 24 hrs later!! WOW!! In these days of mediocre (at best) customer service...this was way above & beyond! Thanks GoSports...I'll be looking for your label on sporting goods in the future!

This is a surprisingly good set. Definitely NOT junk, everything is well and solidly made, well finished, well painted, etc. Perhaps not "premium" or "professional" quality, but for casual use it's really very good. I can't tell if the balls are solid plastic or what, but they've got good weight to them and seem very solid. There is nothing else plastic, which is very refreshing. One touch I >really< liked was the carrying case, which is (gasp) LARGER than it needs to be. Nearly ALL games pack everything into a skin-tight case that requires you to be a Jedi puzzle master to Jenga all of the pieces in, but not this one. Goes to show they weren't trying to save pennies. Do realize that the mallets have a handle length is made for kids, not adults, and is therefore on the short side (this is clearly indicated in the description / photos). Adults can certainly use them, but they are not full-length - that usually costs more. I'm 5'10" and haven't had any issues. I think they'd be fine for any kid about age 6 and up. Would recommend.

I checked out all the available croquet sets under $100 and Went with the Gosports 35 inch mallet set for six players. It arrived in good condition. The paint colors were vivid, and we received all parts. What I like about this set is that the mallet handles are wrapped & that you can store everything in the storage bag without taking the heads off the mallets which would put wear and tear on the treads to assemble them. I’m very happy with my purchase.Do recommend

The product is well-made, but the packaging on the handles is horrible. Nice pleather wraps, but they were overwrapped with household stretch and seal. Super sticky, hard to remove and very annoying, should be addressed.
