Children's iron sets

After the first clubs

When the child has developed a taste for the game and starts to visit the course, a few clubs are no longer enough: they need consistent distance gaps to choose the right shot. The junior iron set meets this need, with irons suited to their height, strength and swing speed. It supports their progression towards first handicaps and early junior competitions.

The other clubs

Children's clubs also come in:

• Drivers.
• Fairway Woods.
• Hybrids.
• Individual Irons.
• Wedges.
• Putters.

All clubs are gathered on the kids clubs page.

The ideal setup

Junior sets often focus on odd-numbered irons: five, seven, and nine, complemented by a pitching wedge, to cover distances without weighing down the bag. The cavity back heads are forgiving, and the graphite shafts are light and flexible, helping to lift the ball. The length is calculated according to the child's height: a club that is too long disrupts posture, while a club that is too short makes them hunch.

Moving up

Manufacturers design their junior ranges in size increments of height, often in ten-centimetre stages: you change series when the child exceeds their limit. Around one metre sixty, depending on their strength, a teenager can move to a light adult series, in senior or regular flex. The advice of the golf school instructor remains the best guide for making this choice.

Frequently asked questions

When does a young golfer need a complete iron set?

When they start playing on the course and looking for consistent distance gaps between their clubs. A junior set allows them to choose the right iron based on distance, just like an adult.

Odd-numbered irons or a complete set for a child?

Odd-numbered irons, five, seven, and nine, are sufficient in the early years: they cover distances with clear gaps and lighten the bag. The complete set becomes useful when the child refines their distances and starts competing.

How to choose the length of a child's irons?

It's based on the child's height, measured standing in shoes, following the manufacturer's chart. Irons that are too long force them to shorten their grip, while irons that are too short make them bend at address.

When to switch to an adult iron set?

The transition usually happens around adolescence, when height and swing speed allow it. A light adult set, made of graphite and with flexible shafts, eases the transition.

Why flexible shafts for a young golfer?

A flexible and lightweight shaft helps the child, whose swing speed is moderate, to lift the ball and gain distance. A shaft that is too stiff results in low shots and can be discouraging.
