I bought this set because mallets have the right heigh and size for kid's hands.However, if adults bend a little can play along with kids.Also, mallets have safety caps and their colour stripes distinguish well compare to other sets.I don't want kids to fight because they mixed up the colours of the mallets.I would like wickets to be wooden and more visible on kid's eyesbut i understand that they are difficult to be store and price rises.
