Golf is a sport that can teach you the highs and lows, from that perfect drive, to hitting it in the bunker, you need to precisely place your shots away from potential dangers. With that being said, here at AllKidsGolfClubs.com we don't think it's every too young for your child to start golfing and we are going to explain how to shop for your childs first golf clubs, starting as young as 2 years old. 

What Golf Clubs should I buy my child first?

The first club you should buy for your child is the putter. The putter will get your toddler used to holding the club correctly as well as the build success in hitting a ball toward a target. Once he has “mastered” the putter, the next club in his bag should be a 7 iron. We do not recommend starting with a driver since this is one of the most difficult clubs to hit correctly and will probably discourage your child.

The 7 iron has a good loft on it and a shorter shaft which makes hitting the ball easier. It is cheaper to purchase a small 3 or 4 club set with a golf bag than it is to purchase single clubs one at a time, so consider a child’s golf set that has a putter, 7 iron and wood in it. Most of these sets are priced under $150, and you also get free shipping on all of our kids golf club sets!

Steel clubs heads vs plastic golf clubs for your toddler golfer

We are the experts when it comes to junior golf and our expertise comes from raising our own junior golfers. Every child is different, so it's important to know what your child is like when it comes to playing sports. Some kids love to hit and run into everything they possibly can and some kids are much calmer than that. That's why we are going to compare steel clubs vs plastic clubs.

Choosing steel golf clubs for your toddler:

Steel golf clubs for your toddler, feature the same technology you find in adult clubs, yet is shrunk down to fit your toddler. Our toddler golf clubs for the youngest ages have high quality graphite shafts, metal heads and quality grips. This is absolutely incredible, as it allows your child to use a real club, hit a real golf ball, and play just like his parents.

The grip size and weight of the club is also appropriate for the childs size, making this an amazing option. The important thing to remember her is that this is a real steel club head and if your child accidentally hits himself or someone else, it can really cause damage. If your child isn't ready yet to use something that can actually cause damage, we suggest using plastic clubs.

When to choose plastic golf clubs for your toddler:

Some children are crazy when they play sports or with toys, this is a fact, and it's better to understand this, than to be blind to it. For the toddler golfers who are a little energetic and may accidentally hurt themselves using a real club, our plastic golf clubs are perfect for them. They allow you to hit foam balls and usually come with al the clubs you need for a toddler. Plastic clubs can still injure the child or anyone else if they are not used properly.

How to properly size your toddler for their golf clubs

Select from a range of junior golf sets specifically designed for children between the ages of 2 and 5 years old (child height range of 28 to 44 inches tall). As every product/manufacturer has a different height range requirement for their toddler golf sets, we ask that you please see each individual toddler golf set for the recommended height range. This will allow you to purchase a golf set that fits your child.

You will see different age recommendations on every toddler product and that is normal, as every manufacturer has a different method that they use. You will see the following options when it comes to toddler golf clubs, Toddler Golf Set for ages 1-4, Toddler Golf Set Ages 2-4, Toddler Golf Set Ages 3-5, and Toddler Golf Set ages 4-6. Although age is used, the the most important way to measure your toddler golfer is by their height.

Another amazing option here at AllKidsGolfClubs.com is that we have toddler left handed golf clubs. We know how hard it is to find left handed clubs and we are proud to offer the largest selection of left handed toddler golf clubs. We also carry toddler girls golf clubs, that feature colors in pink, purple, blue, teal, and more.

How Long should my childs golf clubs last?

We get asked this all the time and the answer is, that it depends on how quickly your child is growing. If they are growing a few inches a year, their golf set should last them a few seasons, assuming that you purchased a golf set that fit the child from the start. For teens, they usually move out of their golf set within a season, as they are growing overnight. If you purchase your clubs correctly, your child should get about 2 years of use out of his kids golf clubs.
