How to Choose the Right U.S. Kids Golf Clubs
U.S. Kids Golf has built its reputation around clubs designed specifically for young players, with sizing and specifications that change as kids grow and develop their games.
Worldwide Golf carries package sets for several stages of that progression, from Ultralight options for beginners and intermediate players to the newest Tour Series 6 lineup for more advanced juniors.
The result is a broad selection that can help young golfers get started with equipment suited to their size and move into new configurations as their game advances. That focus on fit has been part of U.S. Kids Golf from the beginning.
Why Junior-Specific Golf Clubs Matter
U.S. Kids Golf grew out of founder Dan Van Horn’s experience introducing his own children to the game. When he saw how difficult heavy equipment could be for them to swing naturally, he began developing lighter clubs suited to younger players. The company launched in 1996 and has continued refining that approach ever since.
Head weight, shaft flex, grip size and swing weight are all considered as part of the fitting system, with specifications matched to different player heights and ability levels.
For parents, the starting point is straightforward: measure the golfer’s height with shoes on, then select the appropriate equipment category for the player’s current level.
Tour Series 6 Brings Performance Features to Junior Golf
The latest generation of U.S. Kids Golf’s Tour Series is TS6, developed for intermediate-to-advanced juniors.
The TS6 driver uses a lightweight construction, thin crown, cup-face technology and interchangeable weights that allow launch, spin and feel to be adjusted. The irons incorporate a Velocity Core insert, thinner toplines and trailing-edge relief, while the wedges add specialized sole grinds and precision-milled grooves.
The all-graphite set covers player heights from 48 to 69 inches, while the combo-shaft version, offered for taller juniors from 60 to 69 inches, pairs graphite woods with steel-shafted irons and wedges. Both are swing-weight matched to create a consistent feel as players move from one club to the next.
Ultralight Helps Young Golfers Build Their Game
For newer and developing players, the UL7 family takes a lighter approach.
Flexible shafts work with reduced head weights to help younger golfers generate speed and get the ball airborne. Head weights are 30 percent lighter in the 39- to 42-inch size, tapering to 10 percent lighter for golfers in the 60- to 66-inch range.
The smallest UL7 package at Worldwide Golf is a three-club carry set for golfers measuring 39 to 42 inches. The four-club set covers heights from 42 to 48 inches, the six-club configuration is offered for 45 to 48 inches, and the five- and seven-club sets span 48 to 66 inches.

More Than Junior Golf Clubs
Equipment is only part of what U.S. Kids Golf has built around the junior game.
Its stated mission is to help children have fun learning golf while encouraging family interaction, and the organization supports that goal through coaching education, its Player Pathway development program and an extensive schedule of junior tournaments.
That broader focus helps explain the thinking behind the clubs themselves. The objective is to give young golfers equipment appropriate for where they are now, then provide a path forward as their swings, bodies and interest in the game develop.
