Total Polo Labs have started taking orders for their modular mallet head design. There are details below and more images and lots of discussion on this thread at bikepolo.ca, particularly about using capped ends.
If you're registering interest with them you'll probably need to order the black ABS tubing too. This is the stuff that vidal uses; lighter and stronger than the gas pipe most of us are using but seems impossible to get in the UK. (I think vidal may also be able to supply folk with pieces of this stuff and standard plumbing end caps from the US if you ask him nicely. Or we could figure out a way to machine something similar in London? I know a few people talked about it)

"Contact us at totalpololabs(at)gmail(dot)com if you are interested in ordering. For this initial order we will stick to $15 for a set of plugs, but we have not determined the cost of the entire assembled mallet head.
Now we are going to offer an 8mm and 9.5mm thick plug. The thickness that I'm referring to is hitting material that is sticking out of the base tube. The 8mm version is 26 grams and the 9.5mm version is 31 grams. We at TPL recommend the 9.5mm plug, because we think it fully takes advantage of the design (it wears longer).
We are taking orders at this time with the intention of figuring out the quantity desired. I'm estimating that we can start shipping them in a month or so, depending on the demand.
Be sure to include:
- Your name
- Your address
- Whether you want the 8mm or the 9.5mm plugs
- Whether you want just the plugs or an assembled mallet head
- The length of your typical mallet head (if you want the assembly)"
- Your name

hi guys
saw a group og polo riders going down borough high street towards london bridge yesterday around 2-3, trackstanding at a set of lights
particularly memorable was the banana disc wheel
anyone?Yep, a couple of groups of us heading back North, continuing an epic day of frozen toed polo; started at de beauvoir at 11.30, joined the Southies at 1 for league games, then went back North to Mitchison court and played drunken throw-in games til 9pm. Polo addiction bites hard.
