Croquet mallets and balls in Floreat and the Town of Cambridge
The short answer: if you play at Floreat, you can order an Invictus mallet made to your handle length and have it delivered to the western suburbs, and the club can buy Invictus X balls, approved by the World Croquet Federation for championship play.
Croquet in Floreat and the Town of Cambridge
Cambridge Croquet Club is at 49 Chandler Avenue West, inside the Floreat Sporting Precinct. The Town of Cambridge lists four fully floodlit lawns and a recently built, air-conditioned licensed clubhouse whose room seats about 80. It also hosts Rocketball croquet parties, with instructors and gear supplied.
The precinct is older than the clubhouse. The state heritage record for Floreat Oval says ground works for the oval, tennis courts and bowling greens were under way by 1953, that the grounds were well established by 1965, and that tennis, bowls and croquet now surround the oval.
It staged the state golf croquet Champion of Club Champions in August 2022, when twelve clubs, seven from the city and five from the country, sent their champions. In April 2026 it shared the Eire Cup, the interstate association croquet series, with Como and Nedlands. Results from its own club championships have been posted online since at least 2015.
What Floreat's lawns and weather mean for your mallet
Floreat lies only a few kilometres from the Indian Ocean, so an afternoon sea breeze is a regular summer visitor and lawns dry hard under months of sun. A ball on that firm surface runs well past where it would stop in spring, so a smooth, measured stroke beats force, and the floodlights allow play in cooler evening air. Winter rain softens the lawns and shots need more behind them.
Which Invictus mallet suits Floreat players
Invictus Rise, A$990. Our most popular mallet. About 3 lb of aluminium head with a slightly wider sweet spot, so a stroke strays less and control comes a little easier on soft winter grass. We usually suggest the 11 inch head.
RF Pro, A$1,980. Our top model, developed alongside World Champion Robert Fletcher. Its 3D printed aluminium head carries brass weights and composite faces and comes in near 2 lb 12 oz, which suits precise play on a quick summer lawn.
Both are built to order at your handle length, with an 11 or 12 inch head. Graphite Black is included; Snow White, NRA Blue, Rose Gold or Deep Purple are A$130.90 extra. The weight is fixed for each model. Our fitting page explains how to measure.
Balls for Floreat clubs
An Invictus X set costs A$990; each ball is 450 g and made entirely in Australia. Plan on a first-colour set and a second-colour set for every lawn. See croquet ball colours explained.
Delivery to Floreat
Your mallet is made once you order; allow usually 4 to 8 weeks, as an estimate only.
