Golf Gear Size Guides for Kids

Golf sizing starts with club length and weight. Junior clubs should match height and strength so kids can swing naturally instead of compensating for adult-sized equipment. Measure standing height rather than choosing a set from age alone, and use the chart for the exact set because club makeup and length steps vary. If the player cannot make a balanced swing, try a lighter or shorter option before buying extra length for growth.

FAQ

Should kids choke down on adult clubs?

Usually no. Clubs that are too long or heavy can make learning harder.

What should I record before comparing junior golf sets?

Write down the player's standing height, dominant hand, and the clubs already used comfortably. Compare those details with the exact set chart, then let the player make a few controlled swings before deciding.

What measurements do junior golf glove charts use?

The inputs vary by maker. A current FootJoy junior fitting chart uses middle-finger length and hand circumference, then checks for a close palm, snug fingertips, and closure room. Follow the diagram for the exact glove instead of converting from age.
