Question: I’m getting my kid involved in golf and he’s finally ready to get his own set. What’s the best way to measure the right size golf clubs for kids?

Answer: Sounds like this is going to be a frequent question as I’ve received dozens of the same. Generally speaking you go by the height of the player. The weight / size of your kid will also determine the flex of the shaft.

Reader Question: I’m putting my son into golf lessons at the local driving range and wanted to get him a decent beginner set to keep him excited and his interest level up. I don’t want to spend a fortune on the clubs since he’s still only 8 and I want to make sure he learns to take care of his “new clubs” properly. In any event, with all the childrens golf clubs available, I’m wondering how much to invest in a set.

Answer: I started my son out with golf when he was 5, and I myself got started at age 9, so I can talk about this relatively confidently. You can pretty much pick any set at this age as long as they are age appropriate (sets at this stage are generally made for their age, not by length).

But the best thing to do is probably to ask your son’s golf instructor (or your local golf pro) to see what they recommend. You can always buy them elsewhere (than your local pro shop) to save money.

I purchased my son’s first couple of sets from eBay since they have a great selection of new and used childrens golf clubs.

Here are some clubs that are available on eBay today:

It is important to get your son started on the right path, so the thing to be sure of is to be sure you get clubs that fit him.

Reader Question: I want to put my son in golf, but I have no clue as to what size golf clubs are suited for kids. Are there places online where I can get the proper sizing / length for kids? Also, are there specific brands I should get?

—

Answer: Ok… usually kids golf clubs are sized by their age. So, if your son is of average size then you could just about pick any of the brands “off the shelf”.

Most pre-packaged golf sets for children are going to have thinner grips, lighter club head and also a more flexible shaft for their club. As for the brand, it won’t really matter. At this stage in the game a proper fit is more important than the “brand” (which is true in most cases… even for adults) of childrens golf clubs.
