Anyone seen any decent piping I could salvage for a mallet?
I'm on the lookout with a hacksaw in my pocket...

A ski pole would be good too. Reckon I'm gonna visit a few charity shops to see if I can get one cheap. eBay if all else fails I guess.

Any info muchos appreciated.

Todd, I have a load of yellow which you are welcome to.
No poles though, although if you find a pair I'll buy one off you.

I have some blue and there may still be a good length of it behind the wall at the deBeauvior court.

Cool! Thanx guys. I feel spoilt for choice now. As I live near the DeBeauvior court, I guess I'll check that out. Otherwise, perhaps I can meet one of you with me saw! I work over East if that helps.
And Jol, chances are if I find a pole, it'll be part of a pair so I'll grab both of 'em.

Mike: What's your recommended length of pipe? Some say 8" and others 5".

Couldn't see any at De Beauvoir when we were there yesterday. Had a look behind the wall for it but it's gone.

I use two mallets, one a bit less than 5" and one just around 5"+. More of an attacking mallet. If you're more of a defensive player, go longer. I reckon 8 is way too long for either. 6.5, maybe 7" max.
Same goes for length of the pole. Shorter for a better swing to score, longer for the reach to grab the ball and block shots. My mallets are around 37" long.
Also, cut the tapered end, not the wide handle end. It'll give you more metal around the bolt holding the head on.

Thanx Mike. Will probably go for around 5" then to start with and make possible alterations as I develop my game and style.
As Jol is cutting me a piece, I'd imagine he'll cut it just perfect for me!

Might drop by later actually. Which is the central court? BL?
