Hathaway Deluxe 6-Player Croquet Set

For the price, excellent quality product, strong and durable. I initially purchased a cheaper product, which broke upon first use. (Mallets of poor quality and balls too heavy) You get what you pay for!

I searched all over, went to two big sports stores, looked at some of the big online sellers and could not find anything near satisfactory--unless I was willing to spend $ 1500. Luckily, I looked at these on Hayneedle and gave it a try based on the description of the mallets. The set arrived quickly, and it was as described--a real croquet set--substantial mallets with metal to metal shaft to head screws--not wood to wood. The heads are substantial and the balls are heavy. (This sounds perverted, doesn't it?) Anyhow, by far the best croquet set I have ever seen and such a great value!

Very good value for money. Far better quality than other 'cheaper' sets on the market. The Brass fittings ensure that the mallets don't loosen (like their wood-threaded counterparts). The length of the handles are perfect for adults. I'm not a professional player, so I can't compare this set to ones that cost several hundred dollars. However, as a casual player, I really love the sleek look - feels like a premium product.

This set is well made and very sturdy. We haven't played yet but put it in the very nice carrying/storage case. It has a place for everything inside and has Velcro to keep the pieces from moving.

Very nice set for the price. Looks like the picture & while I haven't had used it yet it appears to be durable so it should hold up. I'd recommend this set.

Beautiful, quality crafted croquet set. Metal fittings on mallet handles and heads, heavy duty balls, strong wickets and a well made durable case. I believe this set will last for years and years.

Excellent quality! The mallets are easy to assemble, and they look and feel great! Every piece (including the carrying case) looks like it will last. I'm so glad I paid a little more than I had planned to, and got this deluxe, full-size set.

It is as depicted. Quality game pieces and love the bag that holds all the game pieces. We have not played with the game yet but it is well worth the money.

Received the item on time and in good condition. During the initial setup we found one of the mallets to be broken, the brass base in the mallet head was stripped out. I believe that a little glue will solve the problem, but for the money I do not think it is a problem that I should have to deal with.

One mallet broke the first time using. The screw broke off from the handle. Why would they use such a small screw to connect the handle from the hitter? Should be a full wooden screw in. Our old set has lasted for 33 years, other than the rubber circles around the mallets.
