Product Description
Croquet was introduced at the St Louis Olympic Games in 1904 as an Olympic sport. The EC6 set is different from our other sets because it has less expensive components. It is clearly better than the sets available in the warehouse or big box stores, but it is not of the same quality as our London Green or Scotland Yard sets. It comes with everything necessary for an official 6-wicket tournament game or the more familiar 9-wicket backyard game. Set includes 6 laminated solid wood mallets with 32 inch handles wrapped with towel wrapped grips. The 6 biaxially milled 12 ounce wooden croquet balls are lighter than tournament balls in our other sets. Wickets (9) are fashioned from 1/4 inch powdercoated solid steel rod, much thicker than coat hanger wire. The 2 wooden stakes are used in the nine wicket game to establish the finish and turning points. The set comes with the rules for both a 6 and 9 wicket game. The canvas bag holds everything and has handles and a shoulder strap for storage and carrying. Hand made in India.

The Jury is still out
By Whitney Sande
I was so excited to receive this set-- I had read reviews and it looked like a top-notch set. First use was this weekend.. one game -- the balls are already dented and dinged... Not sure this is what should be happening -- they look pretty beat up after just one use. The other comment I have on the set is that the mallets are all the same--- meaning no color coding.. I figured that was a feature rather than a defect... Anyway, I'm considering making a call to the company to see about getting more durable balls. For this amount of money -- I believe they should be in better shape.

excellent quality
By hansen
well worth every penny. very good quality especially for the cost. my parents have a set from brookstone, which was ruined after one play. i looked around forever before buying this and i would highly recommend this set. one difference in the picture is that instead of the natural colored ball, i received a pink ball. i actually liked that better. shipping quotes were way off. i was quoted something like 2-4 weeks, but i received it within 1 week.

A BIRTHDAY GIFT DISASTER!!!
By Florida Resident
I should have bought a $39.99 set at a local store. But I wanted to give my husband a super birthday gift. IT WAS A DISASTER. His pole broke on our first game! The paint on the balls came off too! I felt like if I had bought a 2nd hand item. No quality control or true warranty from manufacturer (Dewey USA) who to my surprise was quite nasty about giving me a refund. Upon returning set, I had to pay all shipping costs. I lost $75.00, made a lowsy gift and made a fool of myself. DO NOT PURCHASE!!!!
