Junior golf clubs
A set of junior golf clubs is going to be better for your children's game than cut-down adult irons.
Today research and new technologies have been employed to build sets of junior clubs which fit the ages, size and the outlook of youngsters. So if you are thinking of golf for your children, it will be best to look for some discount junior clubs.
Kids come in all sorts of sizes, unlike adults, and there is no one-junior-club-length-fits-all. So club length is important. Juniors need to have clubs that are right for their age, height and weight. But they will grow bigger over the years, so think ahead a little about length, keeping in mind that grip can be adjustable. A junior golfer can grip a club a little further down than the grownups normally would. Too far down and they will learn bad habits, though. The pros recommend clubs which force choking down of about one inch are pretty much correct. A two inch choke down is too much. So test several clubs and choose the length that's right.
I was pleasantly surprised to learn recently that junior clubs are now being designed with the kids' swing speed accounted for. In other words, well made junior golf clubs will flex. You can easily see this as you're choosing the set. Shafts are steel and graphite and you can bend them with your hands in the shop.
Weight is the next consideration, but this is an easy one. Too heavy is obviously going to hinder a junior player, so pick a set where the clubs are satisfactorily heavy, but not too weighty. This is where the individual's weight and height will determine your choice.
Some coaches have noticed that junior grips can give young players an edge, so in recent years grips specifically made for small, young hands are being fitted to junior golf clubs. Ask for a demonstration. Your children will notice the difference right off.
Junior golf clubs come with all the variations you'd expect. For left handed players, boys and girls, there are clubs that will fit them perfectly for their ages.
