polo boy from dublin hear.
just reading some of your emails hear is a few answers for i hope.
the mallets you need galaxco mallet is too wide and will have too be shortend and then sanded down. the angle of the mallet head is different on a bike than a horse but they are a good starting mallet to use.
the lie back saddle piller is very inportant as iy will allow the rider to play the ball around his back wheel and pass the ball on forward on his left side of the bike to his frount wheel.
it also puts all the rides weight over the back wheel so it does not slide from under him as he turns and while playing the ball.
if you can get speed way tyres they are the best to use on grass and tar.
good luck for now
