Golf club polo mallets

Not being a polo player you could probably tell me to piss off, but being a golfer I know that the steel used in shafts is quite thin as it needs to be flexible enough to create a whip effect.

If I was going to make one out of a shaft I'd use a stiff shaft (they come in regular or stiff for the quicker swinger), use the grip end as the end to put the mallet on as the diameter is bigger so less chance of failure, and build up a grip on the original clubhead end.

thanks for the advise...i'll take that into account when i have to build a new mallet.probably in another couple of years.
