How to Choose the Right Size Junior Golf Clubs – A Parent’s Guide

If you’re shopping for junior golf clubs, getting the right size is absolutely essential for both performance and enjoyment. Clubs that are too long or too heavy can frustrate young players and stunt their progress, while perfectly fitted clubs can help unlock a child’s potential and build confidence on the course.

At Kondor Kidz, we’ve seen it all. From junior golfers struggling with hand-me-down adult clubs to budding stars hitting pure shots with equipment that suits them to a tee. Whether your child is a complete beginner or already chasing birdies, choosing the correct size clubs is the foundation of a great golfing experience.

Why Size Matters in Junior Golf Clubs

Unlike adults, junior golfers are growing fast – in height, strength, and skill. Using clubs that are tailored to their current size ensures:

Better swing mechanics
Greater consistency and accuracy
Injury prevention from over-swinging or poor posture
More fun and less frustration!

Kids don’t need expensive custom fittings to get this right. They just need clubs matched to their height and ability, and that’s where our handy Club Selector Tool comes in.

Introducing the Kondor Kidz Club Selector Tool

To take the guesswork out of getting the correct junior golf clubs, we developed the Club Selector Tool. A simple, fast, and reliable way to find the right size set for your child. All you need is your child’s height in centimetres, and the tool will recommend the perfect set for them based on our extensive product range.

It’s the quickest and easiest way to make sure you’re buying clubs that will give your child the best possible start (or next step) in their golfing journey.

What Else Should You Consider?

Age vs. Height: Always go by height, not age. Two 10-year-olds can be completely different sizes.
Weight of the clubs: Junior clubs should be lightweight with flexible shafts.
Grip size: Smaller hands need smaller grips for proper grip and control.
Room to grow: A little room to grow is okay – but not too much! Clubs that are too long can create bad habits.
Skill level: If your child is a beginner, consider sets with higher lofts and forgiving clubheads.

FAQS

How do I know what size golf clubs my child needs?

Use a height-based club selector like ours here for the most accurate recommendation.

Should junior golf clubs be based on age or height?

Always choose based on height. Age is not a reliable factor as kids grow at different rates.

Can my child use adult golf clubs cut down to size?

It’s not recommended. Adult shafts are usually too heavy and stiff, even when shortened. This will impact performance and therefore likely to effect confidence and enjoyment.

How often will I need to replace junior clubs?

On average, every 12–18 months, depending on growth. But we recommend measuring and checking every couple of months. Our subscription sets are a cost-effective way to manage this to ensure you are always using the correct sized equipment.

What happens if junior golf clubs are too long?

Clubs that are too long can lead to poor posture, bad swing habits, and lower accuracy.

Can kids use standard men's or women's golf clubs?

No, junior clubs are designed with lighter materials and more flexible shafts for developing strength and coordination.

What height range do your junior golf clubs cover?

Our sets cover from 91cm to 185cm in height, with options for each stage of development. Our largest set are basically an adults graphite set, ideal for teenagers inbetween junior and adult clubs.

Do you offer left-handed junior golf sets?

Yes, we have a selection of left-handed clubs in various sizes.

Can I try the clubs before buying?

While we don’t offer trials, our Club Selector Tool and flexible return policy help you shop with confidence.

Is it better to go for new or refurbished junior golf clubs?

Both are great options! Refurbished sets offer excellent value, especially for fast-growing kids or beginners. Plus the benefits of reusing equipment is a big plus for the planet.
