Sometimes you come across a free magazine that is free for people to read. This one is jam packed with equestrian related life. You may want to read https://issuu.com/wynnwood/docs/july_aug22/10
One of the things I have learned about polo and horse riding over the years is that it is about lifestyle and reading. A type of craft that you develop over time as you learn new things and have new skills.
Custom Mallets don't need to be super expensive. While people often pay a few hundred dollars for an average mallet our start up keeps these mallets at $99 with free shipping in the continental US (International shipping may include an additional charge.).
We build our mallets in our shop (s) and do nearly all of the work by hand. That helps quality control and ensure each is up to our customer's standards. We also make bike Polo mallets in addition to our standard polo mallets!
We can even custom cut your mallet to your specific size. Our standard is 52". You can send payment and size (if different than 52") to Pay Pal. If you have questions email escanabapolomalletcompany@gmail.com
The question of how to do that is a difficult one for polo players as there isn't a lot of good advice. We don't want to be body builders that comes from heavy weights and we don't want to be super thin that comes with constant cardio. A polo player has general functional muscle tone made up of short and long fiber muscles that can balance speed and power.
Different skill needs means you will want to work out in such a way that enhances the functional ability of the body. More reps with moderate weights until fatigue is recommended for polo players that need functional strength to balance the horse and hit the ball with accuracy and power.
Many people feel that unless you are willing to do 1 rep maximum weights you can't gain muscle and that isn't true. According to Dr. Stuart Phillips from McMaster University in Ontario light weights (50% of 1 rep max) for 20-25 reps is just as efficient to building strength and muscle as heavier 1 rep weights. You can read the study in the Men's Journal.The biggest thing is for you to keep at it! Happy Polo Playing!
