Here is a great news for all the kids and the parents as they don't have to buy youth golf club sets which are the same adult golf clubs with the shaft cut. That cut shaft club usually makes a very stiff club, making kids difficult to hit. Now, golf companies have realized this very well and they have started selling customized golf clubs as per a kid's height, age and strength and at the same time they are pretty reasonable.
Whenever you go buy your kid one, your child will be measured in the three main areas, which goes into customizing any golf club.
Height is an important determinant in estimating the club. Tall players have upright swing. This is measured by determining the "lie" of your child's club.
Now how is this lie determined? It is determined from the angle that the club head exceeds from its shaft, which is attached like a hinge. Tall players will have a closed hinge.
Another important factor in the customization process is to determine the Arm Length. This determines the length of your child's shaft. Your child should not crouch or choke up on the club to hit.
This is done by having your child's arms against his side and measuring the distance from the tip of his middle finger to the ground. This determines the length of the shaft.
The customization process also includes measuring the length of your child's arms. Your child will be asked to keep his arms against his sides to do the measurement. This way the distance from the tip of your child's middle finger to the ground is measured which determines the length of the shaft.
When you go to get your child a club, you shall look around in the stores to get the best price. Another thing that you should look for is friendly staff who would be willing to do all the measurements to design a club specifically for your child as per his strength, age and height.
