I play by myself mostly and sometimes with my brother. The wickets are sturdy which is a MUST for anyone. Things to remember and advise IF purchased: Do not use a metal hammer to hammer in the 2 colored stakes or wickets. DO NOT!!! Use a soft rubber mallet for each. (technically you should only use it with the stakes NOT the wickets) If you don't do this will create indentation in the wood and probably bend the wickets. You shouldn't even use a hammer on wickets anyway. Unless they are golf wickets, which theses are not. Make sure the ground is soft when hammering into if not, buy a cheap plastic stake (used for tents and such) and "pre-drill" a hole into the ground where the stakes will be. All in all, playing on soft ground is better and its easier on your wickets and stakes. The stakes and wickets are NOT weak, Unless you ABUSE them and are ROUGH with them. Do not presume they are weak, you cant treat them like crap. Duhh. This is a regulation garden style croquet set. Its not interchangeable with golf croquet accessories. Problems: One problem I ran into is that one mallet handle split upwards where the brass fitting lies (on the end). I believe the split happened because the mallet head was not screwed on all the way. So make sure you regularly check the tightness of the mallet head while playing. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE MALLET HEAD. You might strip or break the fitting!!!!! I was able to fix it simply. All I did was take some strong wood glue, put the brass fitting back in its place, and clamped it with a vise joint plier, using a towel of course. I think its actually stronger now than before. I have had no problem since and you cant even notice the crack line. Another modest problem is that the white coating on the wickets tends to tear off at its ends from long use and or rough ground. The coating is like "Flex seal" or "plastic-dip." Simple solution: Tear the old coating off and re-dip it in the white stuff rubberized/plastic coating. Looks brand new. Its not a problem if you can fix it. Positives: I love that there is 6 players. Love the handles. Love the carrying case. love the quality of the stakes and wickets. Good set to buy if you treat and apply it correctly. Balls are holding up well. PS If something breaks, Baden will send you a new part free of charge. Review: Well made - I want to make a roller cart for them, but otherwise, they're great and high quality. ## Features - SET INCLUDES- (6) multi-colored poly-resin croquet balls, (9) 8. 25” Steel Wickets, (2) 24” hardwood scoring posts, and official croquet rulebook - EASY SETUP- The detachable croquet mallet heads make setting up this traditional game a breeze - STORE WITH EASE - Durable nylon carrying bag allows easy storage and transportation - MALLETS- (6) wood mallets ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004A135S4 | | Age Range Description | Youth, Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #113,909 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #28 in Croquet Sets | | Brand Name | Baden | | Color | Multi/None | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (880) | | Educational Objective | Fun | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00052125049853 | | Included Components | Baden Deluxe Series Croquet Set | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Outdoor | | Is Assembly Required | Yes | | Item Dimensions | 28 x 10 x 3.5 inches | | Item Type Name | Baden Deluxe Series Croquet Set | | Manufacturer | Baden | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 1200 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 36 | | Manufacturer Part Number | YBB-016 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 1-Year Limited Manufacturer | | Material Type | Composite, Wood | | Model Number | G209-00 | | Number of Players | 6 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Power Source | Manual | | Set Name | Deluxe | | Size | 29 inch mallets | | Supported Battery Types | No batteries required | | UPC | 052125049853 799916971831 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Images ![Deluxe Series Croquet Set 29 inch mallets - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61sZ5DaMfKL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: how heavy are the balls? (16oz is the standard but some are much lighter)** A: The balls were a little lighter than what I'm used to. Also, they were not wood, some kind of plastic. But overall, I was impressed with the set. **Q: Would you give it the same rating today? Thanks!** A: yes I would give it the same rating today. the quality is good for what it is intended for. I have not tried to use the mallets for driving the stakes in the ground or splitting cord wood nor would I recommend it, but for fun in the back yard its great. **Q: is this set made in america** A: This set is manufactured in China. However, Baden Sports is a family owned and operated company based out of Renton Washington, about 15 miles South of Seattle. **Q: Does anyone know the weight of the balls? I'm curious if they are the heavy kind like we had when we were kids.....Thank you!!!** A: I felt that everything about this croquet set was good quality and the balls didn't seem to be the perfect weight. I recently gave 2 sets as gifts and both families have used the sets many time each and had lots of fun. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Durable if cared for properly. *by P***R on May 23, 2015* I bought this set two years ago and its still holding strong!

I buy a ton of stuff online, and I have bought some things I haven't loved, but never felt strongly enough to sit down and complain about them! SO...the fact that I have taken the time to warn others about this set means this set is BAD! The set looks very nice with rubber-foam handles on the mallets, nice case, etc, HOWEVER...During the first game, one of the mallets broke. The head broke off the handle. There is a screw that connects the handle to the mallet, and that part breaks off when you hit the ball. The screw part is glued into the stick, and it breaks out of that part and winds up in the head. Then you cannot attach it anymore, and the stick is useless. Also, if the head is screwed on firmly (which is what you would think you should do) when you try to unscrew it, the screw comes apart. I read the other review that said that mallets had broken, but the reviewer said her brother had anger problems, her family was rough...Ours broke just in a nice, quiet game with Grandma and Grandpa!! When you hit the ball, the mallet comes off, and the metal screw part remains in the mallet so you cannot screw it back together again. Within a week, 4 out of 6 mallets were broken. We used to have a croquet set that was in the family for about 10 years--never had a problem. This set didn't last a week!! Save yourself the hassel and expense of getting this set and having to box it all up and return it. I promise...it will not last. We are very careful with our stuff. ## Frequently Bought Together - Baden Deluxe Series Croquet Set 29 inch mallets - GoSports Portable Cornhole Sets, 8 Styles – Choose 4 x 2 ft or 3 x 2 ft - Boards Include 8 Bean Bags, Travel Case, and Game Rules - VSSAL Bocce Ball Set Regulation Size and Weight for Professional Tournament, Backyard, Beach, Lawn Game with 8 Resin Bocci Balls, Pallino, Measuring Rope, Carrying Bag --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/1142295-deluxe-series-croquet-set-29-inch-mallets](https://www.desertcart.us/products/1142295-deluxe-series-croquet-set-29-inch-mallets) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
