What is PoloTips?
As a result of “Essential Tips-POLO”, which had incredible acceptance in the polo community around the world, and is selling an average of 1000 copies a year since its publication, Justo del Carril thought of expanding his teaching techniques, writing more tips and articles and developing accessories that help players improve their game.
That is how PoloTips was created, trademark to all of Justo del Carril’s designs and developments, orientated exclusively to the improvement of different polo teaching methods, which are created by Justo from ideas during his own experiences while teaching polo.
“For example, the Grip for me is the most important element in polo, leaving aside the fact that the player already knows how to ride. A player with a wrong grip is limited, and I see that as the most common mistake, error or bad habit in new players. Therefore, I pay a lot of attention to the grip, and develop a lot of ideas, tips, instructions, examples, comparisons, on how to grip the mallet properly. You can see the chapter on the grip in the book and how detailed it is, as well as the PoloTips Perfect Grip Glove”.
Our Vision
We feel that very little detail has been put in the instruction of polo. It is a difficult sport, there is no doubt about that. However, there are methods that can be used and practiced to help any player improve in their game, at their own personal pace and rhythm, and to the point of their own personal ambition in the sport.
“It is a great challenge for me meet someone on the first day of a polo clinic, and get to know them really well, to the point where I can detect their strengths and their flaws. That is what I then use to teach each person how to achieve what it is they are looking to do. By using other sports they might practice, by watching them and noticing that maybe a trick with some other part of their body might help their swing for example. By giving simple, everyday methods and examples, one can explain easily something that is considered very complicated even before starting.”
This is how we try to develop a relationship with players in which they can rely and trust for whatever decision they might have to take regarding polo.
Our Mission
Polo, the most ancient organized team sport in the world, has captured the imagination of participants for over 2500 years. Once the sport of warriors and princes, polo is quite a game-perhaps the ultimate game. It combines all the elements for perfect sport: horses and riders, mallets and a ball, strong teamwork, versatility, courage and remarkable stamina. Our mission is to help achieve the best in all, and have a great time doing so!!
