| | North and East Bike Polo? So Rob and I were talking about North and East polo games sometime during the week. I brought up the idea of a 'floating' game, as in no set day, somebody would just put it out there and hopefully it would happen. We would need a good way of communicating this out though, either here on the forum or some sort of email list. JOL's court seems like a good location but we would need others just in case it's taken. I could propose this one but haven't visited it personally. I almost* have enough mallets to supply a game but have lost my balls (no pun...). I know xsheepx's house has mallets and balls so I reckon we're all set, just need some action! *since 2 of mine broke in one day... |

| | Wood mallets are heavy and the shafts break easily. I went through a dozen of them before going the ski pole route. They were cheap broomstick handles though... Is there a difference between street hockey balls and field hockey balls? *yep, google shows they are indeed different. I suppose either would work.

| | I don't understand why there is a debate about mallet at this point..? hasn't everyone been to Brick Lane Polo yet and seen what the standard is? Nothing against wood mallets but they are a bit dangerous for other users because of the weight. When is that northeast polo thing supposed to happen? Could it be good for the Saturday games (http://www.londonfgss.com/thread5640.html) I suggested a while back? |

| | I made 3 wooden mallets on rainy Monday. Constructed from hardwood dowelling + heads are pine / drillium. avant-garde designs + rustic waxed finish. If anyone wants to play polo in West London (tuesday?) then they are welcome to try them out! EDIT - I spent too long trying to get some old ski=poles / graphite golf clubs.. ergo.. |
