How to Choose the right Junior Golf Club Set

So, you have a youngster who loves golf? Want to buy them a new set of junior golf clubs? It can be confusing. Read on for help in making a good decision. Junior golf clubs usually come in complete sets, with a limited number of clubs and a lightweight bag. Junior golf sets for younger kids generally have just a wood, an iron or two, and a putter. That’s all they need at that level. Junior golf clubs for older juniors (8-12 years old) usually add a fairway wood and/or a hybrid iron, plus a couple more irons and a wedge. Make sure you don’t overdo it on too many clubs. It is better for your child to learn to swing a few clubs well than to have to lug around a heavy set of clubs that he can’t use. Most kids want clubs that look cool or that have a big brand name like the pros play. Parents are usually more concerned about the price of the clubs. You can spend a little on a great “value” junior golf set for your youngster, or spring for the name-brand junior sets for the child who shows some real promise. Either way, make sure your kids have the right equipment to make golfing fun. Probably the most important thing you can do is to make sure you have clubs that properly fit your child. Don’t just rely on the age group that the clubs were made for. All children come in different sizes at different ages. A tall 8 year old may do better with a junior golf club set designed for 9-11 year olds, while a small 10 year old may play better golf with a junior golf set designed for 7-9 year olds. The child’s height is actually more important than the age. Some parents wonder if the cheaper junior golf sets will perform as well or last as long. Performance is usually not as good with the cheaper clubs, as they are manufactured without some of the space-age metals and newer (and more expensive) golf club technologies. Better youth clubs like junior Callaway golf clubs are made with the same quality and technology as the adult clubs. But durability is an issue with all the sets since kinds can sometimes be a little rough on their clubs. If you have a beginner golfer who is just testing out whether they have any interest in the game, a cheap set of junior golf clubs can be a great value. They still are ‘real clubs’ and look pretty cool. If they show an interest and some talent, you can always upgrade to a higher quality set of junior clubs in the future. If your child is already showing promise and is playing in junior golf tournaments, the more expensive clubs have the kind of materials and technologies built in to them that will really help them improve their scoring and play better golf. The most important thing for young golfers is that they have fun. Buying them their own set of junior clubs that fit them and their ability will make the game of golf much more fun than if they are playing with golf clubs that are too long or too heavy or with shafts that are too stiff. Your child may also develop bad habits in their golf swing with ill fitting clubs. Start your junior golfer off on the right foot by getting them a new set of Junior golf clubs. The right size is the most important, after that, it’s all about how much you want to pay. But for the children who play golf, any new set of junior golf clubs is a treat!
