Should I get my child Custom Fitted Clubs or a Junior Golf Set?
Customed Fitted Kids Clubs vs a Junior Box Set
When a child begins their golfing journey, the most important thing is that they find success. As simple as it sounds, the more success a child has at golf (or anything they do) they will want to keep playing. Although this sounds simple, there are a million reasons why this doesn't unfold, such as, improper sized clubs, using adult clubs, the wrong gear, and here at AllKidsGolfClubs.com we have seen it all, as we have been the leaders of Junior Golf for over 30 years.
We get asked all the time, should I get my child custom fitted for clubs or do I take that thousand dollars and put it in a savings account to pay for my childs college education down the road. We say that with some humor, as that's what our customers tell us, but in reality, it completely depends on what level your child is currently playing at.
Unlike adult golf sets, kids golf sets come with proper sized clubs for your childs current height, which is a perfect way to get a "custom fitted clubs" in a box set, that only cost a few hundred dollars.
Does my child need custom fitted kids golf clubs?
Custom fitted kids clubs are great for players who are serious about golf and are playing competitively. With that being said, we suggest that if your child loves the game of golf and it's all he wants to do, getting custom fitted is a good choice for that golfer.
The downside to getting custom fitted clubs is that children grow so quickly. By time you are done reading this, your child probably grew a few inches. You get custom fitted clubs so that they fit your current height perfectly, so you will have to get another set of clubs when you outgrow them, even if it's next year when your child has that massive grow spurt.
Who makes custom fitted junior clubs? AllKidsGolfClubs.com offered custom fitted junior clubs back when we started in 1999. From 1999 to 2005 we custom built and sold 40,000 clubs and shipped all across the country. As of today, there are a few manufacturers that custom build clubs.
Adults get custom fitted clubs because they are done growing and they have enough experience, rounds played, and knowledge on what they like, and don't like in golf clubs. This is very normal to see in the adult side of the golf game.
So, with that being said, if your child is playing competitively, whether it's their high school team, the junior tour, or anywhere else, custom fitted clubs can be great for them.
A Kids Golf Set is built to fit your childs current height
So, if custom fitted clubs cost me thousands, what's the solution? The solution is a kids golf set that comes with everything your child needs to have success when golfing. There could be room for error here, so we will explain how to find a perfect sized golf set for my youth golfer.
Kids Golf Sets come in recommended age ranges, as well as height ranges. It's very common to see the following age recommendations, ages 3-5, 6-8, 9-12, and teen. Within those age ranges, there are specific height ranges that each golf set is made for (every manufacturer is different so it's important to read the products details).
Why not age? That is because kids are all different heights, if a child is 10 years old, they can be 57 inches tall, or 65 inches tall. So, if we should shop by height and not age, how do we do this?
Well, AllKidsGolfClubs.com has made this process easy. We know the most important way to navigate this process is by using your childs current height, not their age. So, if you're shopping for a golf set that is for kids ages 9-12 years old and this set has a recommended height range of 54 to 63 inches tall, that would fit the 57 inch child perfectly, but it would be way too small for the child who is 65 inches tall.
AllKidsGolfClubs.com being the experts in junior golf, we put the products recommended height ranges in our products titles, descriptions, and specs. If you have any questions, you can use our 24/7 customer service on our website. Feel free to shop all of our Kids Golf Clubs.
