I haven’t played a lot of bike polo, it’s mainly just messing about with my mates. I really enjoy it but I find that after a while my wrist gets strained from the weight of the mallet. So, to save my noodle wrist from aching Tarn came up with the crackin’ idea of making a super light mallet for me.
Take 1 carbon fibre golf club, 1 carbon fibre seat tube cut off and 2 track rollers, araldite together and viola! Super lightweight mallet.

Sheesh…can I borrow Tarn for a while?? I’ve got some bikes I would like built up and a few other trinkets.

The head looks OK but that shaft won’t last the test of time.

“Rollers” look heavier than my drilled out HDPE. Purpose: Defeated.

I’m guessing that must have been a mountain bike seat post? I wonder if those can be had cheaply when they break?
