Dr Ian Plummer
Manor House 3000 model |
Mallets with ultra-lightweight carbon-fibre shafts and tactile foam handles. Weight distributed to optimise power and twist resistance. Jarring minimised; normal weight about 2lbs 12oz.
2000 - Series (£165 - £170)
Heads (9, 10, 11, 12 inch) from attractive, sustainably managed Curu–ai wood seasoned here for over 10 years; inlaid sight line, screwed and glued double composite faces, easily maintained finish.
Advanced mallets with carbon-fibre heads
The 2mm thick tubular body of the head is made as light as possible to allow the ends to contribute about 2/3 of the total mallet weight.
2001 Model (£240)
Solid round milled (57mm diam.) brass faces or optional black composite (£10 extra). Available with 10, 11, or 12 inch heads.
3000 Model (£275)
D-shaped milled brass faces on 54 mm diam. tube. Optional composite faces (£15 extra). Available with 11 or 12 inch heads. The straight lower edge of the face is much kinder to "topped" shots and gives the mallet some ability to stand unaided.
Airline Shaft (£65 extra)
Two-part shaft with continuous grip which disconnects to allow each part of the mallet to fit into normal baggage giving added protection and avoiding airline surcharges. Adds less than 2oz. When prepared for travel the normal lengths are: lower part 46 cm (inc. head), upper part 40 cm (about 16") less than the total length of mallet.
Engraving of brass collar £8 for 3 letters; extra letters £1.
Postage and packing (January 2012) £11 (UK), £56 Australia and NZ.
