Mallet Head Winners Announced!!!

It was a tough choice picking the winners of our mallet head contest, but we finally found our winners.

Team Mallet Winner:

Brandon and his team’s sad looking mallets won the team competition. They get a 3 pack of mallet heads, 3 pint glasses, 3 EighthInch tools, and 3 t-shirts.

Individual Mallet Winner

I don’t even know what to say about Ryo’s mallet. He definitely earned a new mallet. This head was worn beyond playability. He wins a new mallet, pint glass, tool, and t-shirt.

Thanks to everyone who entered. Your efforts haven’t gone unnoticed. Contact us at sales@eighthinch.com for a special consolation!

Don’t Forget!!! Our free mallet giveaway ends on Monday!!!

Time to get those mallet photo’s in. The person and team with the most beat up mallet gets a brand new mallet and prize pack from EighthInch. We’ll be reviewing the photos on Monday so get them in before the weekend is over. As of now there still aren’t any team shots so get a team photo up there and you’ll have a good chance to win. You can see all the details below!

Here are the rules:

Take a picture of your most used and abused mallet and post it to our facebook page. We’ll choose whoever has the saddest, ugliest, beat up mallet and replace theirs with a new EighthInch one. We’ll be sending out a prize pack to the best team photo of mallets and one to the best individual photo. The mallets must be ones actually used from polo, no sad pictures of soda cans on sticks please.

We’ll decide the winner when we come in next Monday, 5/24 and ship them out right away.

Photo Friday – Tools of the trade

I have a feeling we’re going to be using one of these tools quite a bit this summer.

A Cultur Summer Road Trip

Get ready for the Cutur Tour! Er, um, I mean summer road trip. The trip starts in Austin and moves East then up the coastline all the way to New York for the Bicycle Film Festival. Stop and and hang out with them as they roll through your city.
