ABSTRACT:
An improved polo mallet includes a single-cane upper shaft portion spliced to a twin-cane lower shaft portion which is securely joined to a mallet head. The upper shaft portion maintains the flexibility required for effective game play while the lower shaft portion provides increased strength and durability at the point of frequent breakage for increasing the useful life of the polo mallet. The lower shaft portion is secured within a non-circular aperture in the mallet head to thereby prevent shaft twisting or rotation which may cause unnecessary premature breakage. This invention further includes a cost-effective method of repairing broken polo mallets whereby a broken shaft is removed and replaced with a twin-cane shaft which is then spliced to the remaining original shaft and is insertably secured within corresponding apertures in the mallet head.
