Junior golf club sets are a God send. I say this because a few years ago when parents wanted to take their kids to play golf there was no choice but to have them play with adult clubs, or cut down adult clubs. If your children play golf only occasionally for fun then that can be ok. But if they take a real interest in the game, it is better that you buy them a golf set that has been specifically designed for kids. While buying a junior golf set keep these factors in mind.

Junior Golf Club Set Buying Tip #1 – The most important thing is to find the right length of shaft. A set which your child will not only be comfortable with, but will also be able to use for a couple of years at least while playing golf. To start with they can always choke down on the grip if the clubs are a bit too long.

Junior Golf Club Set Buying Tip #2 – Remember to check the grip size, that their grips have good junior grips installed. Slimmer grips will help your child’s golf game and if you don’t get these, their swing will definitely suffer by using a club with a large golf grip.

Junior Golf Club Set Buying Tip #3 – The shaft flex becomes a problem in junior clubs, as their cut down size makes the club shafts very stiff. Because of this, juniors are not able to reach the height that their shots should normally reach. So make sure that the clubs you’re considering have the correct flex for kids swing speeds, and that they are made of light weight steel and graphite. The light weight steel and graphite create flexibility in the junior golf clubs, so look for a set that has a nice bendable shaft.

Junior Golf Club Buying Set Tip #4 – The last factor is one of the more obvious ones, but it’s importance can’t be disregarded at all – and that is the weight of the clubs. If they are too heavy your child’s back swing will suffer and thus will bring inconsistency in their swing. The formula is simple, look for a lighter club that will help your kid to swing well. Buy your junior golf club set keeping in mind your child’s age and size.

So there you go, these are the four important factors you have to consider when buying junior golf clubs for your child. The club shaft length, grip size, shaft flex and weight of the club. If you keep these in mind and encourage your child in the game as well, they will learn fast and learn well.
