Agree; it's a nice piece of work. Wish I knew how to do videos. When I was coaching beginners some years ago I learnt a lot from a helper who preferred to avoid the jargon. He never used the word "rush" - just said "knock it a bit closer to the hoop" or "knock it somewhere more useful". Similarly he didn't use the word roquet - he just said "2 more free hits for blue because you hit yellow".
I was hopeful when I saw this title, but it's another misfire. There's nothing new here; it still tries to pack the whole game in - break first, if you will! - instead of revealing its "three shots" right away. It's laden with unnecessary jargon, the demonstrations are full of confusing and contradictory images and sheer nonsense (approaching a hoop from a foot away with a half-roll), and that flying croquet court could do with a safety rail! ...and could do without that compulsory ghastly background jingle that would make the Lord's Prayer sound patronising. Possibly best for AC to take it down.
A year on from your comments I am still awaiting YOUR video... This was done as a proof of concept and to demystify AC as the dark art that many believe it to be. If you don't like it don't use it with the people you coach. The negative comments help no-one and once again AC players knocking anything that doesn't show the game the way they play it. Is it any wonder that so many players stick to GC and don't try AC?
This is really rather good. Very professional. More please!
Open to ideas of what to do next...

Your helper is on the right track! Unfortunately, croquet is mostly a social dance, with a good game hidden in there somewhere.
I recognise those shoes and that mallet!
And possibly the player
@@chrisalvey4261 quite possibly I recognised the voice providing the expert insight too...

Yes but golf is much more fun!?
