Questions parents ask

what size croquet balls do i need to buy

These are the standard 3 5/8 inch, 9cm diameter size, matching regulation Croquet weight and dimension. If you already own a Jaques set or a club-standard set, these will match it.

how much do regulation croquet balls weigh

Each ball is approximately 12oz, or 353g. That is the standard weight used for proper Croquet play, not a lighter garden toy version.

what colours do croquet balls come in

This set comes in black, blue, red and yellow, the first colours used in Croquet. That is four balls, one per player.

does this croquet ball set come with a bag

No, this set is supplied without the canvas carry bag. It is balls only, so factor in separate storage if you want one.

are jaques croquet balls durable enough for regular use

Yes, they are built for durability and frequent use, including regular family picnics and weekends. They are made to withstand repeated mallet strikes, not occasional light play.

can you buy replacement croquet balls if one gets damaged

Yes, faulty balls have been replaced individually rather than needing a whole new set. That keeps an existing set going for years.

what age is a croquet set suitable for

This set is listed for adults. It suits grown-up players rather than being sized or weighted for young children.

is a jaques croquet ball set a good gift

Yes, it is well suited to gifting, particularly for family picnics and weekend games. It is a practical present for someone who already plays or is setting up a lawn game.
