nufacturers have traditionally ignored the changing demands of the junior golfer in terms of suitable golf equipment. Junior golf clubs for example have historically been manufactured from sub-standard materials and components in one size and one colour fits all.

Knowing and understanding how children grow and change rapidly, many of us will have learned using cut-down golf clubs from our parents. Despite the right length the weight of the club is often too heavy and the shaft of the club too stiff making it hard to swing the golf club correctly. It is these early swings of the golf club that can inspire the junior golfer into a lifetime’s enjoyment of the sport.

With new technology, materials and components now being used in the production of junior golf clubs from brands such as Young Gun, Texan Classics and Confidence – junior’s can use a properly designed and fitted set golf clubs that will lead to confidence inspiring shots.

The importance of producing suitable golf equipment for junior golfers is vital for the future of the sport – The Sports HQ recognises this association and offers a large number of junior lines including golf sets, clubs, clothing, bags and accessories – manufactured and supplied direct for exceptional savings compared to high street shops like Argos, JJB and Sports Soccer.

Junior golf brands like Confidence and Texan Classics produce junior golf club sets for ages 4-7 and 8-12; a junior set for girl’s in neon pink from GolfGirl is also available – all brands offer sets in right and left-handed editions.

With some manufacturers now realising the importance of producing golf equipment to meet the growing demands of the junior golfer, brands like Young Gun manufacturer junior golf clubs to the same specifications as adult clubs to allow the smooth transition from junior to adult golf equipment. Young Gun sets can be bought for age groups: 3-5, 6-8, 9-11 and 12-14 including a square profiled 3-wood, 3 stainless steel irons (5-7-9) and a white ball putter – all fitted with graphite shafts and supplied in a colour coded stand bag with a matching head-cover for the 3-wood.

Junior Golf Clubs can also be bought individually from online sources including 460cc square drivers, woods and hybrids all fitted with junior flex graphite shafts designed for junior swing speeds. Square club-heads fitted to junior golf clubs is another sign that manufacturers are conditioning youngsters to the game improvement technology used in full-sized golf clubs.

Online suppliers can also offer exceptional discounts on junior golf accessories including clothing, wind-shirts and waterproofs from top adult brands like Ashworth and Stuburt in addition to low factory direct prices on all Young Gun equipment including golf gloves, trolleys and bags.

Unlike the high street online suppliers like The Sports HQ can supply junior golf clubs with discounts of up to 85% to be found on exclusive brands like Texan Classics and Confidence – with prices starting as low as £29.99.

Historically, the manufacturers of junior golf clubs place small consideration into the height and weight of junior golfers and traditionally manufactured equipment that was either scaled-down or physically reduced by cutting-down shafts. The cost of junior golf clubs is traditionally less compared to golf clubs for adults in today’s world of golf equipment. Manufacturers can now produce equipment for junior golfers that utilise the same materials and components used the production of adult golf equipment. It is therefore possible to buy a set of junior golf clubs that are produced by the same manufacturer to the same standards as that of a professional golfer. If you know a junior golfer that is motivated enough to start learning at a young age, you’ll no doubt be keen to ensure that he/she is using the best and most suitable junior golf equipment on the market. The most critical thing to remember when scouting for a set of junior golf clubs is the height of the player. The type of golf clubs you choose on purchasing should ideally match the height of the player with enough margin for growth. That’s why manufacturers like Texan Classics and Golf Girl produce junior golf clubs for two age groups: 4-7 and 8-12. Young Gun – Europe’s number 1 brand of junior golf equipment, produces four unique sets of golf clubs for ages 3-5, 6-8, 9-11 and 12-14 – also available in left-handed editions. Selecting junior golf clubs which allow for certain growth should protect your investment for 2-3 years. A excellent sign of when it is most appropriate to buy a new set of junior golf clubs is when a child is finding it hard to strike a ball – this means that the club is too small and a longer club is required. The weight of the club can also be a matter of concern; if not correctly balanced to the requirements of the junior golf, the player will find it harder to produce a consistent swing – compromising the accuracy and delivery of the stroke. The speed and accuracy are two critical factors that manufacturers take into consideration when developing junior golf clubs – such clubs should not only meet the height restrictions, but also the weight constraints of the junior player. Take both factors into account when searching for a new set of junior golf clubs – manufacturers like Texan Classics, Golf Girl, Confidence and Young Gun all produce a range of golf clubs, optimised for the junior player. These brands also offer the greatest savings for junior golf equipment by supplying direct to The Sports HQ – expect to pay up to £49.99 for a set of junior golf clubs – a typical saving of up to 85% compared to traditional retail based suppliers of golf equipment such as JJB, Sports Soccer and Argos. The online retailer can also pass on additional savings for multiple item orders – expect to pay 1 shipping charge – an brilliant reason to stock-up on the latest range of junior golf clubs, bags, trolleys, clothing… all available direct from The Sports HQ.
