| How do I order? (and pay) eMail me with the bits you want (and any questions) your delivery address, and mobile phone number. NZ direct credit. I'll send you my banking details with the bill. Rest of world add your credit card number... (just the number) THEN when I respond to your email and confirm delivery dates, you can send/TXT me your expiry date and the security number off the back. Credit Card has been very successful over 20 years without any problem. +2% International direct credit Easy to do with your internet banking.. Might include charges at both ends (Usually $30) so really only good for BIG orders USA has issues with International direct credit (money laundering laws) but still worth chasing on orders over $US 5,000. I'll provide the information you need. PayPal Yes I can do that It is a bit of a pain though at my end so I try to stay away from it. BTW they deduct almost 4% International bank cheque SorryNo

Removing your head.... (ouch !!) ...When the time comes to remove your head (for travel or upgrading)
Undo the screw on the bottom (Lefty~loosy) about 5~6mm
that's about 4 turns.

Can I start with a Horus head then change up later ?Sure can....Your Horus is fully interchangeable with the CarbonX and the Rainbows You can upgrade whenever you are ready....maybe keep your favourite handle. ----------------------------------------------------------- |
|
How do I measure the length of a handle ?Always measure from the ground. If I ask "How tall are you?"... I bet you measure your height from the ground.
----------------------------------------------------------- |

He said the handle should come up to my belly button !That would depend on several things... What style do you play ? Solomon's, Standard, Irish. How tall are you...Think of normal height 5'8" (1.72m) Taller~shorter ?... See below. Solomon's and Standard will be longer (often 890~1.050) Most popular .910 (36") Taller~shorter than 5'8" (1.72m) ? Whatever your difference, Add or Subtract HALF that to/from 910 (36")
Irish will be a shorter handle. (790~860) Most popular .840 Do you stand upright ? Players of a certain age should avoid bending over. Keep your hands together at the top of the handle Always measure from the ground. (just like you measure yourself) ----------------------------------------------------------- |

He said I need a 3 pound mallet !Ah huh... This is a carry-over from last century.. and before when most mallets had wooden handles that were glued in. The mallets were weighed as a complete item... Handle and head all together. These days we tend to measure the weight of the head. 1kg=2lb 3 (and a bit) ounces. The head is the bit that does the work. (Hammer and nail) Balls weigh one pound (16oz) each.. 2 balls weigh 2 pounds Handles don't really weigh very much these days. Horus heads weigh under 2lbs, CarbonXtremes (N)ormal = 1kg 2lb3oz, BlackBirds Rainbows (N)ormal = 1kg 2lb3oz For G.C. go lighter (Horus or other "Light") EG. Rainbow (Light) CarbonX (Light) For A.C. go to 1kg (2lb3oz) ~whaterver rocks your boat. What does Mike play with? AC & GC, 12.5" (310mm) 0.950kg. (just over 2lbs) Most popular? CarbonXtreme 280, 1kg. (2lbs 3 1/2 oz) with a .910 (36") TaperedOvalGrip & a Mushroom -------------------------------------------------------- |

Your new Mushroom and its disk and screw have arrived I cannot imagine a handle that will not accept a Mushroom with disk and screw.... You might need to
drill a small hole in the end of the handle..(if it isn't a Terminator)
2. Remove any existing screw and badge..
5.5 Tight...Work the glue into the join between the Mushroom and the handle
6.1 Slide the "Mushroom" up from the bottom of the handle and stop 20mm from the top of the handle 6.2 Apply some glue to the top 20mm of the handle 6.3 Move the mushroom up to the top of the handle with a twisting motion
7.
Squirt some glue around the top of the handle AND into the screw hole. |
Normal Grip
My hand is dropped down so you can see ... |

QuickLock tips Is your handle growing in length ?? Maybe a gap appearing between the Lower and the Upper Check that the badge on the top of the handle is crossways...If it isn't ...then grip the head between y our feet and twist the upper handle (firmly) to make the badge crossways...You might need a REALLY good twist.
Stand the mallet on a firm surface (the floor ) and grip the head between your feet. Push (Firmly if necessary) down on the upper handle so it slips down to its correct position.
Peek through the little QuickLock hole so you can see the hex grub screw .
Insert the Allen key into the hole in the upper handle and engage the lock screw. ANTI-clockwise unlocks . (Lefty/loosey). Clockwise locks (Righty/Tighty)
Unlock the handle by turning the Allen key ANTI clockwise 1/4 turn (More than 1/4 turn anticlockwise, may engage the entry hole that you put the Allen key into.!!!) Remove the Allen key.
Stuck ?? Twist the handle and then remove it. (It might be quite happy just as it is because it has been sitting there for some time... You are a grown up so give it a REALLY good twist)
Long-term... IF you have ongoing issues with the QL then contact me and I'll send you a longer "Grubscrew" and that will be a permanent fix...
