PING has a reputation for top-end golf clubs. Their clubs for juniors aged 6 to 14 years of age look and play just like those used by the golfing professionals they sponsor: Bubba Watson, Hunter Mahan and Mark Wilson.
The Ping junior golf club sets are a great starter set for kids getting into golf and particularly the competitive junior player. Whilst the sets are expensive, the difference Ping clubs can make to a game is significant at any age. Ping junior golf clubs reviews score highly as the clubs make it easy to get the ball airborne. The club heads and shafts are tuned specifically for the swing speed and strength of junior golfers and many report that they hit the ball 10-20 yards farther with these clubs. That’s something any golfer can appreciate, especially an aspiring youngster who struggles with distance.
Ping can customize clubs for length, lie, grip size, flex, and swing weight easily. You can save quite a bit of money if you go with the previous (or older) model line as these clubs are top-rated, plus they hold their value and are indestructible.
Four distinct junior sets are built for different ages and heights
Ping has produced Junior Golf clubs that are available in four specific sets for kids 42”-64” tall (ages 6-14). Each set includes a Ping logo carry bag and stand:
Moxie K is a 4 club set for beginners between 42”-47” tall (ages 6-7). The clubs are specially designed to produce fast results and build confidence.- Moxie G has 6 clubs for players between 48”-53” tall (ages 8-9). This golf set is for kids who might be beginners or have out-grown the Moxie K
- Moxie i is a 7 club set for boys and girls between 54”-60” tall (ages 10-12) who still require the benefits of ultra-lightweight clubs.
- Thrive has 10 clubs designed to fit boys and girls between 60”-64” tall (ages 13-14). These clubs bridge the gap between Ping’s Moxie Junior sets and their adult-sized clubs. This helps youth golfers to excel at the game and builds confidence.
Each set comes with a lightweight carry bag with stand. The Moxie sets come complete with a stylish unisex Ping logo bag in red and black. The Thrive set has a colorful blue and yellow lightweight carry bag (a shorter version of the adult Ping L8) that makes walking 18 holes easy. The bag has a great variety of compartments to store gloves, balls and tees and is double-strapped to avoid back strain.

Moxie i

Reviews report significant improvements with the Ping clubs. One youth golfer had 2 birdies in the first round he played with his new Ping Moxie i set and was hitting the ball 25 yards farther off the tee due to the light weight and big head on the driver.
Thrive
Height 60”-64” tall (ages 13-14)
The driver is titanium, a full 460cc head. All the shafts are graphite and are very light to help juniors get the ball airborne which in turn increases distance. There is also a stainless steel fairway wood which provides greater power than the other junior fairway woods on the market as well as a forgiving and easy-to-hit hybrid alternative. The Anser putter is the same as the adult putter, but has the Thrive color scheme. The irons and wedge are engineered to offer more control in play.
