The mallet was specially designed by Mr. Cyril Corbally, the Open Croquet Champion.
In Slazengers 1916 catalogue they say of the Mallet:-
The "Corbally" mallet as used by the champions.
A record for one year:- The Open Championship, The ladies Championship, The Championship Cup, The Association Gold Medal & numerous other important events were won with The "Corbally" Mallet.
This mallet was specially designed by Mr. Cyril Corbally, the Open Croquet Champion. Mr. Corbally writes:- "I think the mallet very suitable for those who wish to play the front style.
