Looking to pick up a set of clubs for both of my boys. Not sure if I should hit up the local Golf Galaxy, Dicks (sorry I wrote their name), Amazon or something else. Do I buy the clubs based on the kid's heights or something else? Does the quality of the clubs matter much to children? My youngest is only 6 so I don't think it'll matter much, but the older is going on 11. Cost isn't a huge factor, but I'd rather not spend a ton on something they'll only have a little while (until they grow out of them).

Appreciate the feedback if you have the time to offer it up.

Buy them both used clubs and then take them to pro shop and have them cut down to fit. Try and find something forgiving with a large club face and not blades. Good luck and have fun!

Exactly what my dad did.

So adult clubs with trimmed shafts? Hadn't really considered that option. Thanks.

11 yr old can probably swing a regular flex club. you may have to buy a youth set for the young buck. As others have said find a used set and cut them down.

I’d get them something middle of the road. I wouldn’t haven’t fitted perfectly. Just within reason since they’ll outgrow them before long. I personally wouldn’t trim adult clubs with the shafts they have. They’ll have literally no flex and it will negatively affect them. If you have any questions pm me. I’m very familiar with the stuff and play a lot.

Ping has a program where the clubs you purchase will be shafted again once with longer shafts as the kids grow. I think it’s called growing with golf.

DO NOT get adult clubs and cut them down. The head weight and shaft flex will be wrong and create some very bad habits. In addition they (kids) wont be able to generate enough clubhead speed to hit the ball correctly, the 6 year old especially. For the youngest I would get standard youth clubs like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Precise-Junior-Complete-Golf-Children/dp/B073ZLFQVF/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=3HZEU94PNS6DH&keywords=youth+golf+clubs+age+5-8&qid=1568331575&s=gateway&sprefix=youth+golf+clubs%2Caps%2C168&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExWjBBWTU0TlVNS0JHJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwODY2NzU4MzZURDYySzI0SDE4MCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMTExOTM2MlBQTVNIODlJRkFDSCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

For the oldest I would spend a little more money and get these or something equivalent.

Look on eBay. Don’t cut down grown up shafts for kids. It’s not like a rifle stock they have to be able to flex them

Go to US Kids Golf. They have clubs with the proper flex and length for any child. I bought them for my grandkids and they developed into pretty good golfers.

Appreciate the feedback fellas. Looks like I'm going to start knocking the ball around again. I sure do miss it.

This. Cut clubs are to stuff for kids.

I just bought my son a set since he’s in the 1st Tee classes. I got them at academy. They were around $140. They had different sets based on the kids height. I wouldn’t get a set cut either till later on.

Dad started me on lady’s clubs. Shafts are shorter and have more flex.

I probably should have added this. All club shafts come in a different flex and it depends on how forgiving the irons are. It’s not one size fits all.

I’ve probably have two thousand dollars worth of clubs and the bag invested. I just gave them to a buddy of mine that is introducing his ten year old son in the game. I said do what you want with them so he will enjoy it. Maybe some day I get back into it but just like the last ten years of my life right now I have a couple of hobbies I can afford and golf ain’t one of them.
