Croquet mallets and balls in Kenilworth
The short answer: players in Kenilworth, Warwick and Leamington Spa can buy a made-to-measure Invictus mallet, or club sets of Invictus X balls, with delivery anywhere in Warwickshire. For a club where new players start on borrowed club mallets within minutes, the Invictus Rise is the natural first mallet of their own.
Croquet in Kenilworth
Croquet in Kenilworth is a section of Kenilworth Tennis, Squash and Croquet Club on Crackley Lane, which has two lawns and belongs to the West Midlands Federation. It was the first club in the country to receive Croquet England's Silver Club Mark accreditation, and the first recipient of the Chris and Gail Barley Award for club development. Members play association and golf croquet and field several teams in the federation league. In 2025 the lawns opened in March; Kenilworth won the Eastern Section of the WMF 6+ league, finished second in its association croquet league, and saw its B team beat the A team in the Robertshaw Cup final. The club runs coaching for all abilities through the year, open days and sessions for U3A groups, and provides all equipment.
What Kenilworth's lawns and weather mean for your mallet
Warwickshire is in the heart of England, well away from the coasts, with mild, moderately wet weather and occasional frosts. Lawns close over winter for maintenance, so each season opens on soft, slow spring grass, and only a dry summer brings pace. A mallet heavy enough to move the ball without effort on soft early-season grass, and forgiving off-centre, serves all season.
Which Invictus mallet suits Kenilworth players
Invictus Rise, £525. The favourite in our range. Its head is aluminium, about 3 lb, with a sweet spot slightly larger than usual, so it is a little easier to control. We would normally pair it with an 11 inch head.
RF Pro, £975. The flagship, developed with input from World Champion Robert Fletcher. The 3D printed aluminium head has brass weights and composite faces, totalling close to 2 lb 12 oz, which makes it the lighter, very precise option.
We cut your mallet to your handle length once you order, with a head 11 or 12 inches long. Graphite Black is standard; Deep Purple, NRA Blue, Snow White or Rose Gold costs £89 more. You cannot choose the weight. Our fitting guide and comparison help.
Balls for Kenilworth clubs
A set of Invictus X is £479: 450 g balls made entirely in Australia, approved by the World Croquet Federation for championship play. The guide for a two-lawn club is two first-colour sets plus two second-colour sets. Read croquet ball colours explained.
Delivery to Kenilworth
Building starts when your order lands; the mallet is then sent to the UK and usually reaches Kenilworth 4 to 8 weeks after ordering, which we offer only as an estimate. Ball sets are quoted at a delivered price for you to accept before paying.
Questions Kenilworth players ask
I play level-play GC in the league. Which mallet? The Rise, for its forgiveness; the RF Pro if you want the lighter, sharper feel.
Can I use it in a few matches before deciding? Yes. Our satisfaction guarantee, an optional £75, covers 30 days.
Will damp spring lawns harm the head? No. Dry the faces after play; see product care.
