Getting Kids Into Golf Without Overspending

Weight and length matter more than brand for junior clubs. Here's how to size right without overspending on gear kids outgrow.

It's tempting to buy a full-price junior set for a kid who might lose interest in a month, or might grow two inches before the season's over. Here's how to spend less and still set them up right.

What actually matters

At a young age, weight and length matter far more than brand name. A club that's too heavy or too long will hurt a kid's swing more than any technology gap between brands will help it.

Buy for now, not for next year

Junior clubs get outgrown fast, which makes pre-owned sets a lower-risk way to get a kid started without a big upfront cost.
