Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a new golf club design that allows for easier hitting of golf balls. The oblique strike face of the club is angled in a way that makes it easier for the player to hit the ball away from a barrier section. The design also provides flexibility in the weight distribution of the mallet. Additionally, the strike face may be smoothly curved or concave to increase the skill levels required for effective use.

Problems solved by technology

As the game disclosed herein requires a player to strike a ball with a mallet, yet is played within a defined area, bordered by barriers, conventional mallets used in croquet are unsuitable for use.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]Referring initially to FIG. 1a, this illustrates a playing area suitable for use with the herein disclosed game. The game is designed to be playable outdoors, for example in a garden. Alternatively, due to the boundary elements of the game being removably placeable in position a surface such as a tennis court can also be utilised as well as indoor areas such as gymnasia or sports halls. The game is designed to be played with individual players standing up to make a shot when it is their turn. The playing area should be therefore of sufficient size to allow a player to set foot and possibly move about the playing area.

[0023]In the embodiment of FIG. 1a, the sides of the playing area 10 are delineated by a number of barrier sections 11. For convenience of manufacture and assembly, each barrier section 11 is of the same length and width. Overall the assembled playing area has a length of around 360 cm and a width of around 180 cm. It will be appreciated, however, that other lengt...
