Croquet mallets and balls in Perth

The short answer: Perth players can order an Invictus mallet made to their handle length, and Perth clubs can order Invictus X balls, online, with courier delivery across the metropolitan area. On the city's hard, quick summer lawns many players lean towards the lighter RF Pro; the Invictus Rise is the pick for every season.

Croquet in Perth

Perth's clubs belong to Croquetwest, the state body, and are spread across the city. Victoria Park, at Higgins Park, has been playing for more than 80 years on two floodlit courts, and a newcomer's first visit on a Tuesday or Saturday morning is free. Forrest Park in Mount Lawley dates from 2004, when the North Perth club moved to Harold Street, and has three lit courts. East Fremantle, on Allen Street, has two lit full-size courts plus a small one and runs evening sessions. Nedlands was a venue for the 2023 Interstate Shield, and Cambridge hosted the 2022 golf croquet Champion of Champions.

What Perth's lawns and weather mean for your mallet

Perth summers are long, hot and almost rainless, and lawns dry out firm and fast, so a full-blooded stroke rolls well past its mark. Lights let clubs dodge the heat: Victoria Park moves its golf croquet to Tuesday and Friday evenings from November to March. Winter rain softens the grass and the pace falls away. Precision matters most of the year; extra weight earns its place in winter.

Which Invictus mallet suits Perth players

RF Pro, A$1,980. Our flagship, designed with World Champion Robert Fletcher. Brass weights and composite faces sit in a 3D printed aluminium head, and at about 2 lb 12 oz it is lighter and very precise, well matched to a fast January lawn.

Invictus Rise, A$990. Our most popular mallet. Roughly 3 lb sits in an aluminium head with a slightly enlarged sweet spot, so it is a little easier to control and keeps working when June rain slows things down. The 11 inch head is the usual fit.

Each is made to your handle length, with an 11 or 12 inch head. Graphite Black is standard, or choose Snow White, NRA Blue, Rose Gold or Deep Purple for A$130.90. Weight is not an option. Start with the fitting guide; compare mallets puts the two next to each other.

Balls for Perth clubs

Invictus X balls are approved by the World Croquet Federation for championship play, weigh 450 g, are made entirely in Australia and sell at A$990 per set. Budget on a first and a second colour set for each lawn. See what WCF approval means.

Delivery to Perth

We build every mallet to order; delivery to Perth is usually 4 to 8 weeks from the day you order, as an estimate. Ball sets go by courier at a price confirmed before you pay.

Questions Perth players ask

Is Perth too far for delivery? No. We deliver right across Australia by courier and quote the cost up front.

Can I try it at my own club first? Yes. The optional 30-day satisfaction guarantee (A$99) lets you play real games with it before you decide.

Does summer heat affect the head? No. Aluminium will not dry out or crack as timber can; see product care.
