Roquet Targets

When practicing roquets, it's useful to use a target that doesn't need to be reset as it is repeatedly hit. Two such targets are pictured below.

Mike Orgill suggests using a whiffle ball target. The whiffle ball is attached by a piece of string to a turf staple or to some other type of spike. As the croquet ball hits the whiffle ball, the croquet ball continues on a straight path while the whiffle ball stays put in the same general area. You can use either a softball or baseball sized whiffle ball.

Louis Nel often uses a plastic disc cut out from the top of a food container. The size of the disc is the same size as a croquet ball. There's always room in a suitcase for a couple of these.
