Legit - How to make a bike polo mallet - legit style

This is how I make the mallets I personally use, and also the ones which I sell. This method requires many more tools and time than my "quick'n dirty" method, which can be found at legitbikepolo.com or here on youtube.

These mallets are intended for hardcourt play, best suited to be used with street hockey balls.

Legit Bike Polo is a one person gig existing primarily to get mallets to the malletless.

eso esta de maravillllla.... tank you

[himrawkz]

do the nuts not interfere alot with passing using those faces?

[EarlOfDark]

it seems to be very easy!

[pimrakers]

Why don't you use a nylock nut? That way it really stays put :)

@GSmedVT, the paper has the advantage that when you line the ends up, you know that it has made a straight line, perpendicular to the piping (because it only bends in one direction, and is stiff in the other). With rope, the marks could end up misaligned horizontally. The paper is of course re-usable in the same way as your rope suggestion.

[GSmedVT]

Why not measure out a piece of rope (circumference length) and mark it at every 1/4 length.

Would be easier to handle than the paper thing? i dunno, just an idea. I would just tape it on each time i made one, with thick sharpie marks where you should drill.

also it would be easy to find Circumference with simple math c=pi*d

Lowes has ABS in the plumbing dept.. not all stores though it seems.. you can check it online.

[soccerman9696]

where you buy the abs piping?

[belkez]

you really ought to cut off the part that attaches the basket thing to the pole.

[manmaas]

That's a good looking mallet, nicely explained.
