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.

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.

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.

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.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
