Coconut Shy Balls

Horse Shoe setTraditionally, coconut shy balls are light, wooden balls - only just heavy enough to knock a coconut out of a cup if thrown hard and accurately.

Our standard coconut balls are 2 inches (5cm) diameter and made from Beech. They may not be perfectly spherical and may have the odd knot mark but they are perfect for their purpose and rather nicer than is necessary, given that they will soon be heavily battered!

A few customers have contacted us asking whether these balls are suitable for a "crockery smash" stall at a fair. Well, the answer is yes! Should work fine.

The light 2 inch coconut shy balls are quite difficult to be successful with (as designed for fairgrounds) and weigh approx. 35 - 45g. For those who wish to give throwers or children a better chance, we have also made available some 3 inch balls which weigh approx. 115 - 125g. Before opting for the additional expense, however, you may wish to consider that there are other ways to reduce the difficulty such as standing children closer to the coconuts, balancing the coconuts more precariously on the poles or soaking the balls in water to make them heavier (but bear in mind that the balls will deteriorate much more quickly if they are wet).

The Coconut shy (or Coconut shie) goes back centuries and is related both to the traditional pub game Aunt Sally, as well as old English fair games in which sticks were thrown at prizes balanced on the top of poles.
