FAQs for Preteen Golfers
How Do I Select the Correct Size Junior Golf Clubs?
Our junior golf clubs for kids ages 9-12 are generally for children between 48 and 58 inches tall. It is important to select junior golf clubs based on height and not age. Age should be used just as a guideline. Each junior golf set that you'll find at AllKidsGolfClubs has the recommended height range listed in the page title and product page for your ease of shopping.
When measuring the height of your child, make sure he has his shoes on. Every manufacturer has a different height range recommendation. Select a club or set where your child's height is in the lower portion of the range. The listed height range is for your child's current height. If you want to see our full selection, feel free to explore our Kids Golf Clubs.

How Many Clubs Should Be in My Pre-Teen's Golf Bag?
As children get stronger and more skilled, it is time to add clubs to your child's golf bag. The youngest golfers (ages 2-5) only need one or two clubs. This is because they can't hit the ball very far, so more clubs only add more confusion. For golfers who are between the ages of 9, 10, 11, and 12, they are at a more mature level and can handle more clubs in their bag. With that being said, we recommend anywhere from 5 clubs to 7 clubs in your childs bag. This usually looks like a driver, hybrid, iron, wedge, and putter.
As your child starts to hit the longest clubs with some distance and you can tell the difference between how far they hit a fairway wood and a 7 iron, it is time to add clubs. AllKidsGolfClubs.com recommends the following clubs to add in order of importance: 7 iron, 3 wood, pitching wedge, 4 hybrid, driver, a mid-iron, 5 wood, and sand wedge.
