A croquet shot taken with the foot on the ball; legal only in nine wicket.
|
|
| Forestall |
|
A foul is committed and the opponent does not stop play before the next stroke to claim a misplay, no penalty is assessed; the foul is forestalled.
|
|
| Four Ball Break |
|
The backbone of the game, in which all four balls are used to go around the course, ideally in a single turn.
|
|
| Free Shot |
|
A shot which, if missed, will not have dire consequences. The more advanced the play, however, the less chance there is for free shots as each shot becomes necessary. One shot can mean the difference between winning and losing, even on the first wicket.
