Junior Golf Clubs: What You Need to Know
Overview
Junior golf clubs have come a long way over the past 30 years. Back then, finding a proper set for young players was challenging. Most parents either cut down old clubs or had custom ones made. I remember having clubs made for my kids; my son's 9 iron was mostly grip, making it difficult for him to use. Despite this, both of my children loved going to the driving range. Today, parents can find quality junior golf clubs at reasonable prices.
Getting the Right Fit
Earl Woods, Tiger's father, always ensured Tiger had clubs that suited him. It's crucial for junior golfers to have appropriately sized clubs to avoid bad habits. Clubs that are too long, heavy, or have oversized grips can hinder a child's development.
Key Considerations
1. Club Length:
- Don't choose clubs that are too long. Although tempting to buy a set they'll grow into, it's better if they don't have to choke up more than 2 inches. Expect to replace the clubs every 2-3 years if your child is serious about golf.
2. Weight of Clubs and Heads:
- Ensure clubs are the correct weight. Junior sets typically feature light, flexible graphite shafts with appropriately sized club heads.
3. Grips:
- Young golfers need grips that fit their hands. Thankfully, junior clubs today come with thin grips that are perfect for small hands.
Affordable Options
A quick online search reveals many affordable junior golf sets. For instance, AMF offers sets for ages 3-5 for around $80, which include essential clubs and accessories. Options for older age groups are also available at slightly higher prices. For comparison, a junior Callaway set for ages 9-13 can cost around $240.
Exploring eBay
eBay is a viable option for finding great deals on junior golf clubs. Many auctions offer brand new sets at competitive prices. For instance, I found a set for ages 5-9 with a starting bid of just $15. If you're just testing the waters with your child's interest in golf, eBay is worth exploring.
Conclusion
As my grandson approaches golfing age, I'm excited to introduce him to the sport with properly fitting clubs. Unlike his uncle, he'll have the right equipment, making it easier for him to enjoy the game and succeed. The earlier he experiences the thrill of hitting a good shot, the more likely he is to develop a lifelong love for golf.
