Youth Golf Clubs
Today’s golf manufacturers almost always carry a
line of youth golf clubs. These clubs are specifically designed for
smaller bodies. When purchasing these clubs, there are a few important
things to consider.
Many manufacturers of youth golf clubs use standardized categories based
on the age of the golfer. Each age group has its own basic length for
clubs to accommodate the average size child in that group. Because there
is some variation in the size within children from each age group, it
is sometimes necessary for the junior golfer to choke up a bit on the
grip.
The weight of the club and the amount of flexibility in
the shaft can be important factors when purchase youth golf clubs. Since
most younger golfers have a slower swing speed than do adults, having
a more flexible shaft can help improve the hitting distance. The weight
of the club can also affect the swing speed.
