Henley's Official Polo Guide (Classic Reprint)

Turn polo into a science, not just a show of strength, with practical guidance that sharpens skill and safety.

This book argues polo should be a refined, studied game. It traces how rough play has given way to more skillful, scientific action, with lighter sticks and simple, rink-style skates. Along with rules and etiquette, it offers hints that help players develop judgment, speed, and control on the field.

• Learn essential skills: turning, stopping, backing, and quick decision‑making.
• Master ball control: keep the ball on the surface, pass with purpose, and avoid unnecessary fouls.
• Understand tactics: screening the ball, blocking calmly, and choosing when to strike.
• Get safety and sportsmanship guidance, including referee roles and dispute resolution.
