Works fine, but some issues
Bought this for covid-19 family fun in the backyard. I thought it was a pretty good set for the price. The mallets are painted and fully wooden--a little short I thought, but not noticeably so. The wickets were the typical super-bendy wire ones that will eventually lose their perfect shape but will work great regardless. The balls were what I didn't like. I remember as a kid the croquet balls were bigger and wooden and very satisfying to smack. These balls were smaller and coated in plastic so smacking them with the mallet was more jarring and not very satisfying. Also, when you are trying to smack someone else's ball away when two balls touch each other, the ball is too small to put your foot on it to send the other ball away. You can do it, but it isn't easy. My kids weren't really wild about the set, but not sure if it was because the balls were hard to hit and manage or because they didn't like croquet in general. I would recommend the set becasue it is pretty good for the money, but know what you are getting into before purchasing.
