Alright, your kids are interested in trying golf and you are excited. You have got an old set of clubs in the garage and are planning to ‘cut’ them down to size for them. Save yourself and keep from ruining their first golf experience by stopping yourself. Here is a short list of reasons why you should invest in a set of junior golf clubs for them, especially if they are serious about playing.

First, kids lack the strength and muscle development to handle a heavy golf club with a steel shaft. Your old clubs are probably twice the weight a kid can handle, and when you cut down the shaft it amplifies the problems. Another physical problem is that their hands aren’t big enough to wrap around a men’s golf club. Imagine swinging a club with a grip as big as a Christmas wrapping paper tube – that’s an exaggeration but you get the point that those grips will be too big for them. Modern kid’s golf clubs, like the junior set from Callaway Golf, are designed with small grips so your junior golfer can hold the club properly. This is a key fundamental, and it will be important for them to start their lifetime of golfing with sound fundamentals.
