Two Traditions. One Mallet.

Argentina

Argentine polo player on horseback
Buenos Aires

Born on the Pampas

Argentina invented the modern polo mallet. Tipa wood. Long shafts. The rhythm of ten-goalers playing every weekend on Palermo grass. We carry that lineage forward — the weight, the sound, the line.

"Two
traditions.
One
mallet."

Indonesia

Craftsman with polo mallet
Bali · Sumatra

Bound by Hand

Our shafts are cut from rattan harvested in Sumatra and finished by binders in Bali — craftsmen who’ve been wrapping cane for generations. Patience the pampas don’t teach. Detail you can feel through the grip.

"Every mallet carries
the memory of the wood."

From the Tree to the Throw Line

The four steps that become one mallet.

01

Source

Tipa harvested in Argentina, rattan in Sumatra. Every batch hand-selected for grain and density.

02

Shape

Heads turned and balanced on the lathe. Shafts cut, steamed, straightened — millimetres at a time.

03

Bind

Cane wrap, leather grip, and sling — bound by hand in Bali. The signature finish you feel before you see.

04

Finish

Sealed, weighed, weight-stamped, signed. Then field-tested by a 5-goal player before it ships.

The maker's mark

Each mallet leaves Bali with the maker's initials pressed into the grip. Not a logo — an accountability. If the balance is wrong, you know who to call. In twenty years of building, we’ve never had to answer.

Field Tested

From those who ride with them.

“The balance is unreal. I switched mid-season and my nearside backshot has never sounded cleaner.”

“You can feel two hands in every mallet — one from Buenos Aires, one from Bali. They’re alive.”
