Boys' Clubs for Junior Golf

Suitable clubs

A young golfer needs appropriate clubs: shorter, lighter and more flexible than adult ones, with forgiving heads that help them get the ball in the air. Cut-down adult clubs are still too heavy and stiff, which messes up the swing. Junior clubs are chosen based on the child's height, not their age, often according to height ranges indicated by manufacturers.

By type of club

Boy's clubs come in different types:

• Beginners.
• Club Sets.
• Iron Series.
• Drivers.
• Fairway Woods.
• Hybrids.
• Single Irons.
• Putters.
• Sand Wedges.

Children's golf is also available in girls' clubs, golf kits, bags, shoes, clothes, gloves, on the children's page.

Building your set

To start, a kit or a small set is enough: a wood or driver for tee shots, a hybrid for long shots, two or three irons, a sand wedge for bunkers and approaches, and a putter. The rules allow up to fourteen clubs, but a child progresses better with a smaller set that they can learn to master. As they improve, the set can be completed with a more comprehensive iron series, hybrids or a fairway wood, or replace a single club.

Tracking growth

A junior set of clubs often lasts two or three years, depending on growth. When the child has to bend down excessively or holds the club too low on the grip, it's time to move up to the next size. Golf school teachers provide advice on appropriate length and flexibility. Equipment can be completed with a light bag, golf shoes, and a glove. Girls' clubs, designed for the physique of young female golfers, are offered separately.

Frequently asked questions

How to determine the length of clubs for a young golfer?

Junior clubs are chosen based on the child's height, measured standing in shoes, not their age: manufacturers indicate height ranges for each series. A club that's too long affects posture and the swing.

How many clubs for a young beginner?

A beginner kit of four or five clubs is sufficient: a wood or driver, a hybrid, one or two irons, a sand wedge, and a putter. The set can be completed as they improve and enter their first competitions.

Can adult clubs be cut down for a child?

This is not recommended: cut-down adult clubs remain too heavy and rigid, and their demanding heads prevent the child from getting the ball airborne. The swing becomes faulty, and the enjoyment of playing decreases.

At what age can a boy start playing golf?

From four or five years old, with short, light clubs and a fun approach. Golf schools often welcome children a bit later for a more structured learning.

What to do when the child grows too fast for their clubs?

Change the set as soon as the child exceeds the height range indicated by the manufacturer. In the meantime, check their posture at address: if they are standing too upright or need to bend their arms, their clubs have become too short.
