ABSTRACT
Of 214 croquet players who responded to a questionnaire, 76 reported at least one injury to hand, wrist or forearm caused by striking the ball. There was no obvious relation to which of the three main grips the player applied to the mallet. Injuries were somewhat more frequent when the mallet shaft consisted of fibreglass than when it was wood, metal or carbon fibre, but a causal relation has not been established. Back injuries seem less troublesome in croquet than in golf.
