Care and Tips for Lava Edition Friction Mallets
The Lava Edition friction mallets are crafted from high-quality, natural rubber. Each mallet ball is handmade, giving it a unique look and feel.
 
For Longevity and Care:
To keep your friction mallets in excellent condition, here are a few tips to consider:
After playing, store your mallets in a sealed, preferably opaque bag to protect them from UV light.
Our mallets come with built-in aging protection. Occasionally, you may notice white spots on the surface—this is normal. Rinsing them briefly with hot water and allowing them to air dry will clear them up.
 
A Few Words on Wear and Tear:
Friction mallets, like any frequently used tool, will show signs of wear over time. Think of them like car tires—the more they’re used, the faster they wear out. Since they’re made from natural rubber, they won’t last forever, but with mindful care, these high-quality mallets will bring you lasting enjoyment.
Wishing you lots of fun and resonance with the Olli Hess Lava Edition friction mallets!
