Golf equipment not only for adult golfers. Junior golf equipment has come a long way in recent years. Gone are the days when young golfers had to use adult clubs that have been cut to size.
It's good to get very young children begin to cut 7-iron and a putter, but as children get older, they need a set of golf clubs are made with their bodies in mind. Today there is a good selection of manufacturers making clubs specifically for juniors.
But with all types of clubs to choose from, there are some things to remember when buying junior clubs (Callaway X-24 iron).
Long
The length is the first consideration. The trick is to find a set of clubs the right length for the junior golfer, but also a set that the junior can grow with. Remember that it is OK to swallow or junior to grip down on the club. You just do not want them to move their hand down too much grip.
A basic rule is this: if the junior to choke down more than 1 ½ to 2 inches, he choked down too much. Choking down more than two inches can change their whole swing, requiring them to manipulate the swing to get the club around their body. A set of clubs whose length requires the junior to grip down only one inch allows them to make a normal swing at the ball, while it may have a length sufficient to obtain the second year out of the set.
Shaft Flex
The next consideration is the flexible shaft. The main problem with cut-down clubs for juniors is the stiffness of the shaft. When you take a 4-5 inch length of a golf club, you make a very stiff shaft. And this explains why juniors using cut-down clubs are unable to get any height on their shots.
One good thing with the new set is that manufacturers are now making the right shaft flex for swing speeds of children '. Using a lightweight steel and graphite have made junior golf clubs more playable. Shaft of the club's junior currently so flexible that you can bend them with your hands. So check to make sure that your child has set the club shaft, flexible fun.
Weight loss
The weight of the golf club is also very important for junior golfers. If the club is too severe, the child will struggle to take the club to the top of the backswing. The struggle to get the club back causes manipulation of the swing that produces inconsistencies. A lighter club will help the junior get the club in the correct position at the top of the swing, and the resulting swing easily repeated.
Just as with a flexible shaft, a club that most companies make junior clubs with lighter heads and shafts. So before you buy, be sure to check the overall weight of the club. You want clubs that are light enough to fit your child's age.
Grip Size
Last consideration is grip size. Paying attention to grip size for young golfers is a new thought in recent years. In the past, clubs were cut down and any grip the shaft was wearing a suit. But the grip is great cause the same problems for juniors as they do for adult golfers. If the grip feels like a baseball bat, it will change the swing mechanics.
So when buying a set of junior clubs, make sure they are fitted with junior grips. If you change your grip, have overcome a junior with a core size of .50. This overcomes the thin will make a difference in your child's game.
As adults, we realize how tough golf can be a few days and how much the right equipment can help our game. By keeping in mind considerations when buying junior golf clubs, you can help your junior play better golf, and more importantly, have a better time on the golf course.
