Croquet mallets and balls in Como and South Perth
The short answer: Como and South Perth players can have an Invictus mallet made for their own handle length and sent to their door, and clubs can buy Invictus X balls, which hold World Croquet Federation championship approval.
Croquet in Como and South Perth
Como Croquet Club plays on Comer Reserve, at 19 Comer Street, and belongs to Croquetwest, the state association. Its directory listing describes a friendly, active four-lawn club that welcomes visitors to come and try. Association and golf croquet are both played.
In April 2022 the City of South Perth marked the opening of two new playing surfaces at the club. The rebuild took about three months and was paid for by the City together with the State Government's Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund, and the City's notice described Como as the largest croquet club in Western Australia.
The new lawns have since carried national play. Como shared the 2026 Eire Cup, Australia's interstate association croquet contest, with Cambridge and Nedlands from 15 to 19 April, and the winning New South Wales captain said the Perth lawns were among the best the team had played on.
What Como's lawns and weather mean for your mallet
Como sits on the south shore of the Swan, where summer is long, hot and close to rainless. Rebuilt surfaces kept short in that heat play quick and true, so touch around the hoop counts for more than power. From May the winter rain arrives, the grass thickens and a shot needs a fuller, firmer swing to reach its mark.
Which Invictus mallet suits Como players
RF Pro, A$1,980. The flagship, created with World Champion Robert Fletcher. Brass weights and composite faces are set into a 3D printed aluminium head; at roughly 2 lb 12 oz it is light and very exact on fast January grass.
Invictus Rise, A$990. The most popular mallet we make. Close to 3 lb, with a slightly bigger sweet spot in its aluminium head, it is a little easier to keep straight once July grass slows play. Most players pair it with the 11 inch head.
We make either one to the handle length you send us, choosing between 11 and 12 inch heads. Graphite Black comes as standard, and Snow White, NRA Blue, Rose Gold or Deep Purple add A$130.90. Weight is fixed. Our side-by-side comparison shows how they differ.
Balls for Como clubs
Invictus X balls are 450 g, made entirely in Australia, and A$990 per set. A guide figure is a first-colour and a second-colour set for each lawn, so four lawns suggests eight sets. See how many ball sets a club needs.
Delivery to Como
Each mallet is made after you order and usually arrives 4 to 8 weeks later, as an estimate.
Questions Como players ask
Do quick new lawns call for a lighter mallet? Often. Touch players lean to the RF Pro; those wanting forgiveness pick the Rise.
Is one mallet fine for both codes? Yes, either model suits both.
