Bike Polo (also known as, Cycle Polo) is a sport similar to the traditional Polo. The mallet was constructed using equipment bought from FixCraft, an online Bike Polo good store. But the catch is, the materials are not assembled and need some modification before completion. Eventually, the goal is to buy materials from Lowes for cheap. Since this was the first attempt to make a Bike Polo mallet, a safe route was to buy materials which were specifically designed for Bike Polo.
The shaft portion is 7075 T6 Series 4 aluminum and has a slight taper towards one end. The mallet head is a HDPE piping. Specs for the dimensions can be found here: http://www.fixcraft.net/
Using a power tool with drill bits and a hack saw, the mallet was complete with German/Japanese-like engineering. In a later post, a step-by-step instructions of making the mallet will be posted!
