i play polo on the aforementioned setup....generally i can brake better while having control of the ball....and stop just as fast as the brakeless fixies. the major fault i am aware of is brake fail = slam into brick wall. hills & ice are a different story, and they are generally avoided during polo.
the trick is having the right brake tension to avoid going ass over tea kettle.
