A Review of Equestrian Polo and a Methodology for Testing the Mechanical Properties of the Mallet (Polo Research)

Polo mallets do come in different sizes, shape and quality. Escanaba Polo Mallets are light and use bamboo because bamboo is sustainable. We find straight poles, correct them when needed, and then put them into our mallets. 

 Our heads are hardwood. These are pretty like most other mallets except because of the way in which we construct them they are lighter. This makes them a little more nimble and easier to use.

Each mallet can be further tested for durability to determine how much abuse it can take before breaking. Breaking mallets is normal because of the amount of contact and pressures. A hairline fracture will eventually split the pole. However, using ratan or bamboo fiber cane allows the mallet to shred in a way that doesn't pose a piercing risk to horses or riders.

 We test each mallet but might consider as a start-up also using a similar method to determine precisely when they break. The study indicates that using the same metric helps us compare quality. It is also fair to say that our mallet quality is one thing and our push to donate over half (most of the time) all of our profits to charity is important. The start-up was designed to test the ease or difficult of starting business and some of the difficulties increasing entrepreneurship.
