Of 214 croquet players who responded to a questionnaire, 76 reported at least one injury to hand, wrist or forearm caused by striking the ball. There was no obvious relation to which of the three main grips the player applied to the mallet. Injuries were somewhat more frequent when the mallet shaft consisted of fibreglass than when it was wood, metal or carbon fibre, but a causal relation has not been established. Back injuries seem less troublesome in croquet than in golf.
在214名回复问卷的槌球运动员中，76人报告至少有一次因击球导致手部、手腕或前臂受伤。这与运动员使用的三种主要握法中的哪一种并无明显关联。当球棒杆由玻璃纤维制成时，受伤情况比由木材、金属或碳纤维制成时略为频繁，但尚未确定因果关系。槌球运动中的背部损伤似乎比高尔夫运动中的麻烦要少。
