Junior Golf Clubs

Fit Your Junior to Enjoy the Game
by Eddie Hall, Equipment Writer

Juniors represent the largest potential pool of new golfers, as they are the future of the game. There are several compelling reasons why juniors should engage in golf. They can acquire essential life skills such as etiquette, learn to manage success and failure, and develop lifelong friendships. Additionally, golf provides a valuable form of physical exercise away from screen time. When junior golfers begin playing, they share the same characteristics as any new player. They must have fun and enjoy a certain level of success to maintain their interest. A significant factor in their enjoyment and success lies in the equipment they use.

When young golfers first try golf, they need clubs to swing that fit them. Their parents’ hand-me-down clubs are usually too long, and the shafts are too stiff for them to swing. Often, parents’ 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, the shafts are now 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 likely to give up on the game. Many reasonably priced club options on the market today can help young golfers have fun and learn to enjoy the game of golf.
U. S. Kids Golf leads the youth golf equipment market and is committed to providing clubs that fit all age groups. When young players use clubs that fit them properly, they quickly develop golf swings that will last a lifetime. The correct club length and weight are essential for establishing solid fundamentals, which is why young players are fitted into U. S. Kids Golf clubs based on height, not age.
U. S. Kids Golf offers five lines of golf clubs designed to provide options for every skill level: Baby’ s First Club( 18-inch putter), Yard Club, Ultralight 7, Tour Series 6, and the new epTour driver. The Yard Club is a super-lightweight club designed to give young beginners a strong start as they learn the game. It features an oversized head that provides more hitting area, helping to get the ball in the air. It also includes a training grip to teach proper hand position. It’ s designed for beginner youth players who want a reliable training club to start with.
U. S. Kids 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 with some golf experience who need a lighter club to boost clubhead speed and distance. UL7 prices range from $ 359.99 to $ 499.99 per set, depending on the height, length, and number of clubs needed.
U. S. Kids New Tour Series 6( TS6) is designed for intermediate to more advanced young golfers. It’ s ideal for those with developed skills in putting, chipping, and pitching. TS6 clubs are designed to deliver higher ball speed, increased distance, and higher-quality shots. Engineered for intermediate to advanced players, the clubs are swingweight matched so each club delivers a consistent feel throughout the set. Once you determine your junior’ s height range, TS6 offers clubs to suit their needs.
The TS6 set features all graphite shafts, offering a lighter, softer feel. A putter, 3-hybrid, 4-iron, and 52-degree and 60-degree wedges are also available to add to the set, either by purchase or through the 6th Club Free Program.
