At Invictus Croquet, we are pleased to announce that the Invictus X Ball has received official certification by the World Croquet Federation (WCF) on its first attempt—an achievement that highlights the commitment, innovation, and expertise that went into developing this ball. Designed by World Champion Robert Fletcher, the Invictus X Ball was created to address the pressing quality issues that the croquet community has faced in recent years, and it has successfully met the rigorous standards set by the WCF.
The balls are proudly manufactured in Australia in the State of QLD to the highest quality standards.
A New Standard for Croquet Balls
The development of the Invictus X Ball began with a clear goal: to craft a ball that not only meets but exceeds the quality of traditional croquet balls, while providing a consistent, enjoyable playing experience. Over the past few years, players have seen a decline in the quality of croquet balls from manufacturers worldwide, which has led to frustrations about inconsistent performance and durability.
At Invictus Croquet, we were determined to create a ball that could overcome these challenges. With the invaluable insight and experience of Robert Fletcher, we embarked on a journey to design a croquet ball that revives the high standards of the past, while incorporating cutting-edge manufacturing technology to ensure consistency and reliability across every ball.
A World-First Manufacturing Process
One of the most exciting aspects of the Invictus X Ball is that we developed a world-first manufacturing process specifically for croquet balls. This breakthrough process allows us to maintain unmatched consistency in the ball’s performance, while also addressing the common issues that other manufacturers have been facing, such as poor durability, erratic bounce behavior, and quality control problems.
This revolutionary process combines, precise engineering, and cutting-edge tooling techniques that we believe have never been used in croquet ball production before. The result is a ball that is not only WCF-certified but also represents a leap forward in croquet ball manufacturing technology.
Designed with Championship Standards in Mind
Throughout the development process, Robert Fletcher played a key role in shaping the ball’s design. As a world champion croquet player, Robert's deep understanding of the sport's technical aspects allowed us to fine-tune the Invictus X Ball to meet the needs of both casual players and top-level competitors. Hundreds of test balls were produced and rigorously tested across different weather conditions and playing environments to ensure the ball performs consistently no matter where or when it’s used.
The bounce properties, feel & sound off the mallet, colors, roundness, and durability of the Invictus X Ball were crucial considerations. We designed it to be lively to roquet and rush, delivering a smooth and predictable performance with every strike. Importantly, we worked to ensure that the ball doesn’t produce an overly loud sound on impact, eliminating the concern that your mallet might break when striking it. This attention to detail resulted in a ball that feels, looks and sounds, like a championship croquet ball.
Certified on the First Attempt
The Invictus X Ball passed the World Croquet Federation’s certification process on its very first attempt. Words such as exceptional & beautiful were used by the wcf official tester along with feedback that they bounce tested very well. This is a significant milestone and a clear testament to the hard work and innovation that went into its development. The WCF certification process is known for its rigor, testing balls for their bounce, durability, and overall playing characteristics to ensure they meet the highest standards of the sport.
Receiving this certification on our first attempt highlights the success of our innovative approach and the effectiveness of our manufacturing process. It also signals that the Invictus X Ball is ready to take its place among the finest croquet balls available today.
