Cleveland Youth Golf Clubs

Cleveland offers a set of clubs in size large that includes a putter, wedge, 5/6 and 7/8 iron, hybrid, driver and stand bag. The woods and irons take after their Launcher line, and the wedge is modeled after their very successful wedge series. The sets come in small and medium sizes, too. Small fits heights 36 to 46 inches or 3 to 5 years old. It consists of a wood, one iron and putter. The medium is for 47 to 56 inches, or 7 to 10 years old. This set includes a wood, hybrid, one iron, wedge and putter. The large is for kids 57 to 66 inches or 11 to 14 years old. Cost is around $120 for the small and up to $180 for the large.

Since Cleveland is known best for its wedges, it is only appropriate that thee company delivers the same for juniors. It makes a junior series of wedges just for juniors, which takes after their 900 series. It looks and feels just like the adult version but is specifically designed for juniors. Expect to pay around $15 for one.

You may still be able to find some of Cleveland's older sets that were made before coming up with their Junior Launcher line. These sets are just as good, but are color coded in white and silver to determine size. They are modeled after other successful adult lines. In the future there will probably be a new line of junior clubs designed after their next successful line of irons, hybrids and woods.

It may seem a bit overzealous to buy something like this for your child, but if you want your child to learn to play golf and be successful right away, then junior clubs are necessary--not to look good, but to allow the child to swing properly. If you decide to just cut down an old set of golf clubs to fit the height of your child, they will struggle with them. The weight will be too heavy and they can't generate enough club head speed to get flex in the shaft during the swing. Juniors need to be fit for clubs or they may quit because the clubs don't allow them to play at their best.
