I just downloaded the NAH ruleset PDF, with a view to posting it to the London Bike Polo site (the rule-set that was on there was about 4 years out of date).
*§2.4 – Mallets
§2.4.1 – Shaft
§2.4.1.1 – The shaft is made of metal or carbon fibre.

I don't think carbon-fibre is a safe material for bike polo. Brittle, so when it breaks (which it is likely to), it will shatter into splinters. Am I being overly safety-minded? Also, who uses carbon-fibre shafts?
