We take a look at some of the best golf club sets on the market for junior golfers
Best Golf Club Sets For Kids
Many of us will have fond memories of picking up an adult size golf club when we were younger, and giving it a good whack.
If you were really lucky, you may even have got a cut down club or two to play with.
It was too heavy though, right? Perhaps you got into bad habits then that you’re still struggling with today.
These days there are plenty of clubs out there for juniors; sets which are light and easy to swing, and designed to make the game easier for kids.
The best golf club sets for kids, many of which are made by specialist junior golf club manufacturers, feature shorter and more flexible shafts to ensure young golfers can hit the golf ball properly and get more enjoyment from the game.
Many of the sets below are available in different sizes, with manufacturers only too aware that as kids grow, they need longer clubs in order to strike the ball properly.
And because kids are attracted to bold colours, some brands are a little more bold with their designs and styles, particularly where bags are concerned – which are normally included with a package set.
What tends to differ from brand to brand is the number of clubs you get with the set. At a really young age, sets generally don’t include more than about five clubs.
Then, generally speaking, more options become available as you move up the age brackets.
So, if you’re in the market for junior golf clubs, here are some of the best golf club sets for kids.
