Polo - Southern Life: A Game Of Horses (1984) - BBC South

 It is interesting to watch some of the history of polo and its games. This 1984 video is from the UK (Escanaba Polo Mallet is in the U.S.) but it is nice to see how the game has grown and changed. 

Why It Takes a Week to Make a Good Polo Mallet? Knowledge and Art

Creating a good mallet takes time—it’s as much an art as it is a science. It took us a couple of years to master the craft and consistently produce strong mallets that deliver high customer satisfaction. Our mallets are light, durable, and customizable.

Just like with any art form, rushing leads to mistakes, and that’s something we work hard to avoid. Custom work is different from mass manufacturing. Each piece is unique, with its own subtle variations and marks of craftsmanship.

We’ve developed enough knowledge that, if needed, we could walk into the woods and cane fields and, within a few weeks, build one entirely from nature. While we currently purchase our cane and wood, we still cut, straighten, and prepare every material ourselves. These come raw!

Steps in the process:

1. Find and straighten cane

2. Cut and sand heads

3. Build handle

4. Affix head

5. Paint

6. Apply protective wrap

7. Package

We recently wrapped up an order that truly warmed our hearts and reminded us we're on the right path. A customer purchased a handcrafted mallet with green tips as a gift for a family member. They loved it so much, they came back to order a second one—this time with red tips.

To us, that speaks volumes. It tells us our product not only met expectations but brought joy and value—enough to inspire a second purchase.
