To meet need, many of the major golf equipment companies make choosing golf clubs for juniors easier by offering pre-packaged junior golf sets for different age groups. For Junior and Youth Golf Club sets, there is no requirement for the child to be professionally fitted to each club in the set.
Callaway, Nike, Ping, Tour X, and Wilson are the top-brand golf manufacturers that have pre-boxed sets for girls and boys. Specialist junior golf brands include U.S. Kids Golf who stock 145 different golf club sets for juniors.
A junior golf club set will usually contain fewer clubs than an adult set. This is because it is swing speed that creates the distance gaps between clubs. Many young juniors, depending on their height and strength, have slow swing speeds so distance gaps are usually quite short. When a child can swing harder and create a distance gap longer than five yards between clubs, then more clubs can be bought to customise your set. Therefore, a junior golfer aged 10 years may have 12-14 clubs.
For your youngest golfer (ages 1-4)
It’s especially important for the youngest golfers to have light weight, cavity back clubs to help them hit straighter shots from the very beginning.
