It incorporates updates to many diagrams and their related text, making them even clearer to read and use, and there are some new lines of play, giving you easier and more reliable shots. There are also more Plan B’s to get you back on track when things don’t go to plan. Do you want to get your first triple peel done? Do you want to complete triples consistently? Do you want an easy-to-understand guide? If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, then this book is for you!

It explains how you can complete triples without having expert-level skills. Taming The Triple is a straightforward, practical approach to getting triple peels done. It feels like a one-to-one coaching session, taking you step-by-step, shot-by-shot, and guiding you with over 140 colour diagrams. It has been tried and tested with A Class and B Class players with handicaps of -1 upwards. It works! The accompanying e Practice Pack is an innovation in the world of croquet. It has all the main diagrams covering every sequence of play for your triple peel. Load it to your phone, iPad or tablet, and take it with you to the lawns to make your practising easy and effective. If you are wanting to get your first triple peel done, or complete triples more consistently, or perhaps you coach the triple peel, then this book is for you. Here’s Dave Kibble’s review: “Roger has devised a method that makes the triple peel accessible to any single-bisquer wanting to take their game to the next level of enjoyment … A very well-written, structured and accessible book …The style has the feel of a personal coaching session … I'm sure I'd have done my first triple peel sooner had I read this book first. Now, with over 500 triples completed, I've checked out Roger's schemes and they do work and are easy to understand and follow. He doesn't tell you how the elite players do it, he tells you how you can do it with your current skills. I heartily recommend Taming the Triple to the ambitious and fun-seeking single-figure-handicap player”
