Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get started?

It’s simple! You can start by requesting a demo below, and we’ll reach out to schedule a time to walk you through the platform. After that, you’re free to take Wibbitz for a test drive. Depending on which plan you pick, you’ll learn the ropes with a hands-on training session or a self-guided tour. Wibbitz was designed to make video storytelling easy, so anyone can start creating videos in minutes. No prior experience necessary!

What equipment is needed to play?

To play croquet, players only need a mallet and flat-soled shoes. The club provides the lawns, the hoops and the balls, and most will have mallets for visitors’ use.
Mallets vary in the length of the head, the length of the shaft, their weight and materials. A typical mallet will weigh around three pounds, have a shaft length of 36 inches and a head length of 10 to 11 inches. The heads and shafts can be made of wood, steel or fibreglass. Heavy mallets favour a straighter swing but can be harder to control for delicate shots. A new player should try lots of mallets to find the one that suits their style and strength.
