Equip Your Junior with Properly Fitted Clubs

by Eddie Hall , Equipment Writer

We all love the game of golf and enjoy the many benefits that it offers . We also understand that for the game to grow , new golfers need to enter the game . The group that represents the largest possible number of new golfers is the juniors . That is the future of the game ! There are some excellent reasons why youth should play golf . Juniors learn etiquette , how to handle success and failure , and develop lifelong friendships ; plus , it is great exercise . When junior golfers come into the game , they are not unlike any other new golfer . They need to have fun and experience some level of success to continue playing the game . A large factor in that success is the equipment that they will use .

When young golfers first try the game of golf , they need to have good clubs to swing . Their parents ’ hand-me-down clubs are typically too long , and the shafts are too stiff for them to swing . Often , clubs are cut down for the young golfer . Although the clubs may now be a usable length , the junior will still have trouble swinging them because , unfortunately , now the shafts are even stiffer . We know that if young golfers don ’ t have the correct clubs that give them a better chance to succeed , they are more apt to give up on the game . There are many reasonably priced club options on the market today that can enable a young golfer to have fun and learn to enjoy the game of golf .
U . S . Kids Golf is the leader in youth golf equipment and is committed to providing clubs that fit all age groups . When young players play with clubs that fit , they quickly develop golf swings that will last a lifetime . The proper club length and weight are the keys to solid fundamentals , and that ’ s why players are fit into U . S . Kids Golf clubs based on height , not age .
U . S . Kids Golf offers three lines of junior golf clubs designed to provide options for every skill set : Yard Club ( Training / Entry Level ), Ultralight 7 ( Beginner / Intermediate ), and Tour Series 5 ( Advanced ).
The Yard Club is a super-lightweight club designed to give the right start when first playing the game . It features an oversized head that provides more hitting area , which helps get the ball in the air . It also has a training grip to learn proper hand position . It ’ s designed for beginning youth players who want a great training club to start .
The Ultralight 7 series ( UL7 ) is the seventh generation of Ultralight golf clubs engineered by U . S . Kids Golf . The UL7 clubs are designed for young players who have played some golf but need a lighter club to improve clubhead speed and distance . UL7 prices range from $ 599.99 to $ 479.99 per set , depending on the height / length needed .
The Tour Series 5 ( TS5 ) is the fifth generation of Tour Series golf clubs engineered by U . S . Kids Golf . Players should expect higher ball speeds , increased distance , improved versatility , and higher quality throughout the entire set . The new TS5 Driver 6-4 titanium with black PVD finish and optimized MOI produces more forgiveness and a larger “ sweet spot ” than prior generations . As mentioned above , U . S . Kids Golf clubs are measured by height , not age , which is important because we all know that kids of the same age often vary in size and height . TS5 prices range from $ 339.99 to $ 389.99 per set , depending on the height / length needed .
U . S . Kids Golf allows you to trade in your old clubs for credit towards new sets and pays the trade-in shipping for you ! Continuing to play with its equipment creates proper swings that lead to successful golfers .
