Debating on new set for my step-son

[TN94z]

My step is turning 9 in January and his height is pretty much about right to step up to a new set of clubs. I think he could play his current clubs for a little while next year but I think he will need some longer clubs soon. I got an email from Edwin Watts with a 20% off offer on Junior sets for the next 2 days with free shipping. I am debating on going ahead and getting the clubs now and just putting them up until next year when he needs them. Should I go ahead and buy these or just wait until he actually needs them?

His current set includes a 3w, 6i, 8i, wedge, and putter. The new set that I am looking at includes a driver, fairway wood, 5, 7, 9 irons, SW, and 2 ball putter. So the new set would be more of a complete set. I am getting him a four wheeler for christmas so he doesn't need anything else, but 20% off with free shipping is almost too good to pass up.

Anyway, I just thought I would throw this out there to get some opinions.

uskids clubs are designed just for kids with prpoer shaft and head weights and they can also be based on swing speed

Yeah, the US Kids set is what he has currently. I may go with another set of US Kids clubs because they are on sale as well.

If your going to get them now, don't put them up for a year and have him use his current ones. Thats just mean!

I used the Callaway XJ set and it was a good set for me. Lasts until you reach about 4 feet 10 inches. I would highly recommend.

Well, he wouldn't know he had them until his b'day.

Those are actually the ones I was looking at. They were the only ones that I saw had a left handed set.

You mean he's left handed! Oh no, turn him around LOL

Haha! It's actually not bad. It makes teaching him easy because my swing is a mirror image to him

I do apologise for that sly remark, my old man is left handed. Has a killer slice on him :)

I guess its hard to determine what size he will need in a years time, but i suggest you do/get whatever will benefit his game. I remember when i was a youngster, never played much golf, but dad used to cut down clubs for me to bash around the back yard.
