Although that is great that you got it through the hoop, I hardly think you can call that an awesome jump shot. Your form was not too bad but you hit no where near the wicket....
I can do jumpshots from 25 feet out and get it in the wicket. That's awesome! I can do bouncing bombs from 50 feet out. I am going to be number 1 in the world for golf croquet one day.
Anyways, dude, keep practicing, shots from that close to wicket should be a direct shot in the wicket for a jump shot everytime...
I agree this is not Awesome, but can you consider to be A wesome? The joke is that on my second George Wood mallet, I wanted the word "awesome" imprinted on the side. George or whoever did the imprinting left a big hulking space after the A. Plus, this is a video from 4 years ago when my friend was just a beginner and had this cast on his leg. Nevertheless, 4 years later neither of us can successfully do a bomb. I would love to see you do one in a video!
Funny you mention a video from me, lol. The following day I did this post, I went to the croquet field(but I am in canada, so there is snow on it lol!!!!) And I brought a video camera but I musta kept it on all day because when I went to do a video for a bouncing shot and jump shots it wouldnt work :(
Not sure if I can get out there again but I practice in my basement and I can always shoot footage there. Sorry for sounding like a jerk.... I love croquet and I should be supportive
wow that was one of the greatest moments in sport. seriously that is one of the most inspirational things i have ever seen. i think this should be played to every sports team before they play to show that skill, dedication, determination and courage can achieve greatness.
I'm glad you agree. We need more people out there like yourself who can recognize talent. In the future, I hope to continue to provide more inspirational and great croquet moments for you, so I can still be your hero.
Ralphie also played Greenwich 2007 with that thing on. In the finals you could see him out there with a crutch in one hand and a croquet mallet in the other!
For me it's hard to use any grip other than Solomon. The jump that I use (and taught this guy) is a quick stabbing movement--though with this distance, you do need follow through.
@dxn90210 If you would like I could teach you. I can do anything with solomon grip. bouncing shots, jump shots, everything. It all matters where your feet are, where your hands are when you do the solomon grip. For instance, a 10-15 foot jump shot, you have to put your hands roughly half way down the shaft, and your toes lineup with the ball. Anyways, happy croqueting :)
@thunderwalkers1981 Naa the main reason why I changed to standard was that I always had the tendancy to twist my bottom wrist, so standard is good for me and changing again will just destroy my game
Nice Assange.

except doesn't that only count as hitting red stripe? not going through the wicket?
will1311 3 years ago
this was during a game of golf croquet, so it counts. If he had hit any ball through along with his own, it wouldn't.
if this was Association or American 6 wicket, then yeah he'd be dead on red,
