Sets of golf clubs for boys
Our page golf club sets for boys helps you choose a first junior set: age-appropriate composition, length suited to height, lighter shafts, a stand bag included, and markers to know when to move on to the next set. A well-sized set allows the young player to build a natural swing, without compensating for a club that is too long or too heavy.
Everything you need to get started, all in one purchase.
What’s included in a junior set, club by club
A junior set follows the logic of an adult bag in a smaller version. The driver, or wood, with its large head and generous loft, helps the ball lift off the tee. An hybrid often replaces long irons, which are too demanding for a child's swing speed. Next are one or two mid-irons, like a seven iron, a wedge for approach shots and bunker escapes, and then the putter, the most used club during the game. Everything is stored in a light double-strap bag that the boy carries himself on the course, like a grown-up.

Choosing the length based on the boy's height
The child's height, not their age, determines the correct club length: two ten-year-old boys might have a twenty-centimetre difference. Manufacturers cut their lines into height ranges marked by a colour or a centimetre range. Measure the boy standing, in shoes, and then choose the range that includes him, aiming for the lower end of the range so he can grow a bit with his clubs. A club that's too long forces him to straighten up and hold the grip very low; a club that's too short makes him hunch over at address.
Lightweight shafts and transitioning to the next set
Junior clubs use shafts made of graphite or lightweight steel, much more flexible than an adult shaft, so the head accelerates even with modest swing speeds. Shortening an old adult club for a child is a bad idea: it ends up being short but still heavy and stiff, which messes up the swing. The next set is needed when the boy outgrows the size range indicated by the manufacturer, or when he starts competing at his school’s golf club and asks for more clubs to cover varied distances.

Frequently asked questions
At what age can a boy have his set of clubs?
The smallest sets are suitable from three or four years old, with only two or three clubs. The main point is for the child to enjoy hitting the ball; the number of clubs increases with age and practice.
Does a child need a right-handed or left-handed set?
Watch which hand he naturally uses to throw or hit, and let him try both positions. A right-handed player stands with their left shoulder towards the target; a left-handed child needs a set with the heads oriented the other way.
Is a second-hand set of clubs suitable for a boy?
Yes, if the size range matches: a junior set wears out slowly as it only lasts two to three years. Check the grips, which harden over time, and make sure there are no cracks at the junction between the head and the shaft.
How many clubs can a young player take in a competition?
The golf rules limit the bag to fourteen clubs, including those for children. In practice, a young player gets by with far fewer: their set, possibly supplemented by a single club, is enough for the first competitions.
How should clubs be arranged in a junior bag?
The driver and the hybrid go in the top compartment, topped with their headcovers, the irons and the wedge in the middle, the putter in its slot. This habit stops the heads from clashing during transport.
