Handmade Manau-Cane Painted-Tip Polo Mallet

The Handmade Manau-Cane Painted-Tip Polo Mallet combines traditional materials with a clean, durable finish for mounted play. Its Malaysian manau cane shaft provides the natural response expected from a classic polo mallet, while the Argentine tipa-wood head carries painted end sections for a distinctive, protected finish.

Choose the right length

Select from 50, 51, 52, 53 or 54 inches. For mounted polo, sit naturally in the saddle and measure from the ground to your wrist; the resulting measurement in inches is a useful starting point for mallet length. Rider reach, saddle position and horse height can also affect the final choice.

Traditional handmade construction

Each mallet is handmade using natural cane and wood. Small variations in grain, tone and flex are normal characteristics of these materials rather than defects.
