AMF Golf
AMF Golf has been making clubs and other golf products for more than 50 years. In 2004, Dynamic Brands became the parent company of AMF, BagBoy and Baby Jogger. In 2007, Dynamic Brands purchased Slotline Golf, and all four companies operate as separate divisions in Richmond, Virginia.
3.5 Series
The 3.5 Series is designed for golfers between 3 feet tall and 3-8, the normal range for 3- to 5-year-olds. The set comes with three clubs: a 3-wood with a stainless steel head and a graphite shaft; a 7-iron with an oversize, undercut, stainless steel head and a graphite shaft; and a putter with heel-toe weighting. Right- and left-handed clubs are both available for this set.
5.9 Series
This 5.9 Series is designed for slightly taller golfers between 3-8 and 4-4, the usual range for ages 5 to 9. It includes the same clubs as the 3.5 Series but with slightly longer shafts. It also includes a stainless steel pitching wedge with an oversize head. Boys and girls sets are both available, with the boys sets available right- or left-handed. The girls sets are only available in right-handed clubs.
9.12 Series
The 9.12 Series is designed for the tallest junior golfers between 4-4 and 5-0. The clubs are again longer. A driver with a stainless steel head and a graphite shaft is added. The 7-iron is replaced with a 6-iron and an 8-iron. Both have oversize, undercut, stainless steel heads and graphite shafts. Again, the boys sets are available right- or left-handed, the girls only right-handed.
Accessories
Each set includes a stand bad that is lightweight and has dual straps to make it easier to carry. The girls stand bags are purple. The boys 3.5 Series is green, the 5.9 is blue and the 9.12 is red. All sets come with head covers for the woods that match the bags.
