Junior golf clubs used to be nothing more than an old set of full size clubs cut down to a smaller size. Many kids learned to play golf with clubs like these. They seemed to work fine at the time because nobody knew any better. Today clubs are made sized to the junior players. Some cost much less than full size clubs but there are now clubs made by the major manufacturers that cost similar to full size clubs. Deciding as a parent on which clubs to buy can be difficult and confusing. No one wants to spend hundreds of dollars on golf clubs that will sit in the back of the garage. However, if the child is playing a lot of golf and working hard to get better, the parent will want to invest in good clubs.
Length
When deciding on what junior golf clubs to purchase, there are a few things to first understand. The first thing to take into consideration when buying junior golf clubs is the length. Clubs need to be sized for each child but still be long enough for the child as he grows. Junior golf clubs can be sized too big and still be okay. There is nothing wrong with the child choking up on the clubs. As they grow, they will begin to choke less and eventually, they won’t have to choke up on the clubs and they will fit perfectly.
After the junior golf clubs finally fit the child, they will be tall enough for a new set of full size clubs and the process can start again. In this way, the kids have good clubs all through their youth and when the junior golf clubs are out grown, they can use regular clubs with their parents.Â
Shaft Flex Level
Another thing to understand is the level of shaft flex. Full size clubs that are cut down have the thickest part of the shaft making them unable to flex. Junior golf clubs are made with the concept of regular clubs. The shafts are flexed for the slower head speed. This makes them feel right and lengthen drive distances.
Weight
The last thing to understand about junior golf clubs is the overall weight. Full size clubs that are cut down are heavier than clubs made for kids. The heavier weight of the club takes away from the back swing and club speed.Â

Hybrid golf clubs are a recent addition to the available clubs that help golfers once they hit the links. Most golfers are passionate about their game, and most golfers want to score well each and every time. Hybrid golf clubs are especially important for the golfer who is not an expert but wants to play like an expert. Hybrid golf clubs make life easier for those golfers who do not have the hours to practice like the pros. These wonderful clubs can make a beginner or advanced amateur feel that they have an advantage that the pros get in other ways.
Hybrid golf clubs have improved the golf game of many recreational golfers, and the companies have responded to the success by providing additional models to help the enthusiastic golfers and customers. Hybrid golf clubs are designed by experts who know the challenges that golfers face while on the links. These designers know that the game is more than hitting a little ball with a club. The designers know that the fairways are long and the greens are tricky. These experts have studied the challenges to come up with hybrid golf clubs that will make a difference by avoiding the frustration of a bad shot and increasing the chances of the fun of a great shot.   Â
Hybrid Golf Clubs Provide Precision
A good shot off the tee starts each golfer off on the right track, and hybrid golf clubs will help a golfer get that ball up into the air and down the fairway. The hybrid will help the golfer make a first shot that will make the game enjoyable. Nothing is more frustrating than a shot off the tee that goes no where. Hybrid golf clubs will help the golfer with shots that will make a difference in the final score. Many of the great golf suppliers make clubs that will benefit the pros and the expert golfers. Those companies that produce hybrids do the same for less experienced and talented golfers.
Although hybrid golf clubs are a recent innovation, these clubs have become very popular and some of the pros use these clubs on their tours. The popularity of the clubs has also led to increased demand for these clubs. This demand has prompted more companies to provide hybrid models along with their traditional models. The sales increase as golfers learn about the advantages of hybrid clubs, and when they discover the hybrid clubs, most golfers cannot believe they did not take advantage of these effective clubs earlier.Â

Odessey putters belong in the Callaway family of golf clubs. That alone tells you that they offer some of the finest craftsmanship and highest levels of performance available on the market. That’s because Callaway has a long history of outdoing its competition with innovative designs and novel clubs, such as the world-famous Big Bertha.
The legend of Callaway golf is not one of those hundred year old tales that start in Scotland. Instead, the story begins when Ely Callaway sold his former business, a vineyard, in 1981. At first Callaway leaned toward retirement, and like most men of his age, he took to golf to pass the time. One day, he was shopping in a golf shop in California when he spotted a pitching wedge that reminded him of the clubs of yesteryear.
To his amazement, however, instead of being just a fragile hickory-shafted club, these Hickory Stick clubs were reinforced with steel. Their core was filled with the metal, which endowed the clubs with power and steadfastness. Callaway was so smitten by these clubs that he actually didn’t just buy a set. He bought half of the company. (This would explain why later Callaway would invest in quality clubs like Odessey putters.)
The new company was called Callaway Hickory Stick USA. The firm spared no expense in attracting the finest talent in gaming design, research and development, and manufacturing. It quickly developed a name for itself as a producer of high-end golf clubs. The success inspired Callaway to buy out the rest of the company.
The investment paid off enormously in the 1990s. It was all thanks to a little lady called Big Bertha. Actually, she was no lady if you were a golf ball, and she wasn’t so small when compared to other drivers of the day. In fact, Big Bertha was the first stainless steel driver with a bigger head and more forgiving sweet spot.
Thanks to this club almost alone, Callaway became one of, if not the, top golf companies in the world. This puts Odessey putters in good company.

Manufacturers call them hybrid clubs because they look like fairway woods and function like irons. Cobra hybrid golf clubs have added the weighting typically associated with woods and their ability to raise a ball from virtually any lie as an iron to help improve the game of golfers of any level. The newest entry in the utility metals market, Cobra’s Baffler, has many new features to help any golfer’s game.
The Cobra hybrid golf clubs feature a dual weighting system, giving the name Baffler DWS, which makes close to the entire club face a sweet spot. Providing longer, straighter shots on the fairway or off, the baffler also features a sculpted sole to help lift the ball from almost any playing surface. The King Cobra Baffler Pro features a straight neck design along with a neutral weighting system to make every shot from the tee count.
When hybrids first emerged, they were sought after by those who preferred hitting a wood from the fairway from distances closer than that typically afforded by fairway woods. They were also anxious to be able to hit a wood from imperfect lies while at a distance from which a traditional iron would not reach. Cobra hybrid golf clubs can offer both scenarios a remedy with the Baffler DWS capable of hitting from almost any surface as well as hitting long and straight off the fairway.
Faster Off Tee For Longer Flight
It has been said that the first 50 yards is the most important when it comes to a ball’s flight and the Cobra hybrid golf clubs can be forgiving with their enlarge sweet spot on the club face, even when hitting off low fairway grass or higher growth in the rough. The clubs’ design also provides more speed during the moment of inertia allowing for better distance whether from the tee or the ground.
Forgiveness through its dual weight system keeps the club head straight to the target even when the impact is off-center. Cobra hybrid golf clubs, one of the oldest in the industry, has continually improved and the company, as well as players from the weekend group to the tour all feels the newest design changes to the Cobra hybrid golf clubs will allow them to improve their game by keeping the ball in play.
Steel or graphite shafts are both available on Cobra hybrid golf clubs and the soft grips helps the golfer maintain control through the swing. They are designed for players who want the hitting power of a wood and the flexibility of an iron.

Nike Slingshot golf clubs were named Irons of the Year by Golf Digest in the United States, so you have to expect these beauties to bring quality and consistency to your game. However, you can’t expect miracles out of even the best golf clubs, even tightly made performance clubs such as these Nikes.
Nevertheless, Nike made its best attempt to design a high-performance set of clubs. They engineered the club head to have a low center of gravity, ensuring that the head meets the ball squarely. This equates in a higher flying trajectory and softer landings.
The clubs are also progressively designed, so that the weighting shifts and the center of gravity moves closer to the club face as you get into the long distance irons. This shift in weight toward your toe helps to reduce the launch angle at contact, so the ball spin rate increases and the ball catches and holds the green easier.
Another feature of the Nike Slingshot golf clubs is the so-called “cold-rolled†custom 455 stainless steel that they’re made out of. This material in the clubface provides a more consistent hitting surface than, say, the cast clubfaces on most other clubs.
Nike adds a touch more design to the material with the space age computer numerically controlled (CNC) fabrication, which provides a consistent flattened mill to .002 of an inch. You’ll also find engraved scoring lines on the clubs so you can always line up your shot for shot-after-shot performance.
The shafts of the Nike Slingshot golf clubs are the Constant-Weight Graphite Shaft. This shaft is designed to boost club swing speed and maintain feel throughout every club in the set. The shaft adds another degree of control for maximum distance, and a possesses a stiffness that progresses down the line of irons from the short game to the long irons.
