Teen Golf Clubs FAQs - For Ages 13 to 16
When is my Child Ready for Teen Clubs?
AllKidsGolfClubs.com defines teen golf clubs as clubs that are meant to fit kids between 60 and 70 inches tall. Once your child is taller than that, they can move to adult golf clubs, but you should consider a shaft with more flex such as a ladies flex or senior flex (A-Flex) graphite shaft until your child is strong enough for a standard graphite shaft adult clubs.
Can My Teen Use a Golf Set Made for Adults?
Generally speaking, golf clubs made for adults are not appropriate for teens. The shafts are too stiff and the length is too long. Whether your teen is new to the game or a seasoned “pro”, having the correct length of club and shaft flex is important for success in the game whether it’s an adult or child.
However, the answer is not as clear-cut as that. Teens grow taller first, then grow in strength later. Younger teens that have recently outgrown the traditional 9-12 age club length should look to purchase a standard teen set or club. However, as teens improve in their golf game and gain overall strength, a junior flex shaft will become too flexible for them.
How do I know if my teen’s golf club shaft is too flexible? If your teen feels like the club is “whippy” in their hands, if the ball flight trajectory is too high or if they tend to hook their shots, they might be ready for a stiffer shaft. The next shaft you should consider after they outgrow the junior flex shaft, is an A-Flex shaft, which is sometimes referred to as a senior shaft.
All Kids Golf Clubs focuses on finding solutions for all kids. We have partnered with some of the top names in golf to find solutions for teen golfers that did not exist in the past. All Kids Golf Clubs has a growing selection of teen single clubs that are custom made by top manufacturers that are the appropriate length for teens made with graphite shafts that are slightly stiffer than that of a traditional teen golf club. Additionally, these clubs are made with men’s standard-sized heads. So once your child has reached his full height and strength, have his favorite club re-shafted to make a full size adult golf club at a fraction of the price of a new one.

How Long Should We Expect a Teen Golf Set to Last My Child?
Your teen will outgrow his golf set before the set “wears out.” Most children go through a growth spurt during their teenage years. So as a result, you might be tempted to purchase a golf set that your teen will grow into. That is not the right decision. We at AllKidsGolfClubs.com highly recommend purchasing a golf set for your teenager that fits him or her at their current height.
As a result, you can expect a teen golf set to fit your child properly for one to two years max. Purchasing a set that your child will grow into means that the set is currently too big for him/her. Using golf clubs that don’t properly fit your child means he or she will have a difficult time swinging the clubs and therefore will not see the same success when hitting the ball in both accuracy and distance. Set your teen up for success by purchasing him/her a golf set that is properly fitted.
How to Properly Fit Teen Golf Clubs?
The best way to determine the proper golf set for your teenager is to measure his/her height. Every golf set that you will find at All Kids Golf Clubs has the recommended child’s height in the title of each product. Most of our teen golf clubs are for children in the 60 to 70 inch height range. Once your child reaches 70 inches tall, unfortunately he or she has outgrown the traditional size range for teen golf clubs. However, most teens up to age 16 are still not strong enough to swing an adult set, so we would recommend a senior flex (a-flex) golf shaft set until he is strong enough with a fast enough swing speed to upgrade to an adult set.
