Sports reviews of Franklin Sports Classic Series 6 Player Croquet Set
Customer Review: Cheap Quality -- Made in China
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
At first appearance, this would seem like a good croquet set. The brand, the price, and the look would make you think, "Hey, I've got a quality product here." But, turn it over and take a good look at the "Made in China" sticker -- that should tell you all you need to know about the quality.
The mallets and stakes are made of a flimsy wood that feels as if it will snap with the slightest hit. The threads that have been turned into the end of the handle sound as if they are crumbling apart as you screw them into the mallet. The plastic caps may protect the mallet heads from injury but they also cause you to have to hit the ball harder to get it rolling -- increasing the chances of snapping the mallet handle.
The balls are plastic, which I believe the ad description mentions, and appear durable; however, the fact that they are plastic and not wood takes away from the classic nature of the game.
The carry case is handsome -- blimey, I feel like a Brit saying that -- and probably durable.
All in all, just another wonderful example of a modern product with a modern price tag built to POS Chinese standards.
!UPDATE! -- Just wanted to let everyone know that, yep, the first time I took the set out, I snapped a mallet handle in not two pieces, but three. I took a medium swipe at the ball -- and like I said, because of the plastic caps on the mallet heads, you have to hit harder than you'd think -- and, SNAP! I stood aghast but ultimately unsurprised. It looks like it's too late for me to return the blasted thing, but if it saves someone else from the same fate, I feel as if I could die having done something with my life.
