My Daughter is 10 years old and has been playing golf for about 3 years with the First Tee program.  She is 4'10" tall and has shot 37, 40, 41 as her low score for 9 holes in a par 30.  She can hit her current driver about 200 yards.  She is strong for her age and I am considering the following irons set for her.

Taylormade Burner 1.0 with Reax 45 gram lady shaft

Taylormade R7 Lady with 45, 50 or 55 gram lady shafts available

Taylormade R9 lady with Fujikura Motore 50 gram lady shaft.

She is currently using a US Kids Gold series with metal shaft.

Any thoughts or other recommendations?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

My 11 year old boy has a Tour series set of clubs from US Kids. I am not familiar with their gold series, but my son is pretty happy and is starting to play decent golf with thay set of clubs. Before that we had std clubs from US Kids, green series, those are not comparable to the ones he has today.

In my bag:Driver: 910D2, 10.25˚, Aldila RIP, Fairway: 904F, 15˚, YS-6FW+ Stiff, Hybrid: Titleist 910H, Irons: S-58, 4-PW, DG S300, Wedges: Wishon 52˚, 56˚, Putter: Odyssey Black series i 1

I am interested in your statement that "those are not comparable", as I have a 10 year old son. He is playing with the std green ones. So what's the difference?

get used to referring to "L" shafts as "Light" flex rather than "Ladies" flex.  Michelle Wie, Natalie Gulbis, et al are all ladies but i doubt they play with "Ladies" flex shafts.  the shaft flex is based on swing speed not gender.  the clubs you are considering may or may not be good for her.  your best bet is to see a clubfitter who can work with her to adjust them to her liking.  if not then she may struggle to adjust her swing to fit the clubs.  good luck!

And, as the father of a young man who started as a boy, get used to calling the "ladies" tees, "the "forward" tees. I know a buch of girls and young ladies who should play back "with the big boys." And no boy wants to play from the ladies tees.

The gold, green, blue, etc.,  US Kids clubs are all have very flexible shafts and are meant for low swing speeds and novice golfers.  The Tour series is for kids who have improved and have higher swing speeds.  They are more like adult clubs, just a little smaller heads and shorter shafts.  They are meant for the better junior players.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      By iacas · Posted

      I work with a lot of golfers who want more shaft lean at impact, who currently have AoAs that range from +2° to -2°, and who love to see the handle lower and more "in front of their trail thigh" from face-on at P6. And a lot of these golfers try to solve the issue by working on the downswing. They do something to drag the handle forward. Or they just leave their right thigh farther back so the same handle location "looks" farther forward. Or they move the ball back in their stance. Or they push themselves down into the ground to get the handle lower and increase (decrease?) their AoA (to be more negative). The real fix is often to get wider in the backswing. To do LESS in the backswing. To hinge less, fold the trail arm less, abduct the trail arm less. I had a case of this over the weekend. Before, the player had 110° of trail elbow bend, "lifted" his trail humerus only a few degrees, etc. The club traveled quite a bit around him, and he tended to "pick" the ball from the fairways. In the "after" swings below (which are mild exaggerations — this golfer does not need to end up at < 70° of elbow bend. These were slower backswings with "hit it as hard as you normally would" intent downswings), you can see that he bent his elbow about 70° instead of 110° and lifted his right arm an extra ~15° or more. You can't see how much less this moved his hands across his chest (right arm abduction), but it was also decreased. His hands stayed more "in front of" his right shoulder rather than traveling "beside" them so much. The two swings look like this: The change at P6, without talking about the downswing one little bit (outside of him telling me that he tends to pick the ball), is remarkable: Without 110° of elbow bend to get out (which he gets to 80°, a loss of 30°), the golfer actually loses slightly less elbow bend (70 - 50 = 20), but delivers 30° less elbow bend, lowering the handle and letting the elbow get "in front of" the rib cage… because it never got "behind" or "beside" the rib cage. If you look at this video showing the before/afters of P6, you'll note the handle location (both vertically and horizontally) and the shoulders (the ball is in the same place in these frames). This golfer's path was largely unaffected (still pretty straight into the ball, < 3° path and often < 1.5°), but his AoA jumped to -5° ± 2°. I've always said, and in talking with other instructors they agree and feel similarly, that we spend a lot of time working on the backswing. This is another example of why.

      Bailey Shoemaker's Pre-Shot Routine at ANWA

      By bkuehn1952 · Posted

      We had a member of our senior club who developed a mental block on pulling the trigger. I played with him to see what the membership was talking about. I timed him a few times when he would get over the ball. 45 seconds. He knew he had a mental block and would chide himself, “Just hit it!” Once on the green he was okay and chipping was a bit better. It was painful to watch him struggle. Our “bandaid” was to put him in the last tournament  tee time with two understanding players. We should have suggested to him to take a break from our tournaments. I agree with the idea that when a player realizes they have a problem, the answer is to go fix it and not return until they are able to play at an acceptable pace.
