Mallet

A mallet is a tool used for pounding items. It is similar to a hammer, but has a larger surface area. Mallets are also seen carnivals and amusement parks for test of strength competitions. In DC Comics, both the Joker and Harley Quinn were known for using mallets as weapons.

In the Texas Chainsaw Massacre film series, the character of Leatherface was known for using a mallet to pound the beef. More often than not however, he used this to incapacitate or kill trespassers on the Sawyer farm such as Kirk and Jerry.

Denver Croquet is a fictional specialized version of the leisure sport known as croquet. It involves using a wooden mallet to tap balls across a landscape with the objective being to get them to roll through a half-hoop called a wicket. Examples of Denver Croquet were seen in the 1997 television miniseries adaptation of The Shining, which was a faithful adaptation of the 1977 horror novel of the same name by author Stephen King. King also wrote the teleplay for the TV miniseries, which was directed by Mick Garris.
