During the off-season we we bought my seven-year old daughter a set of Ping Moxies, and WOW! If you have a very junior golfer, this set is amazing. For last season we just used a homemade set, but on the range, if anything, she likes the way hving a "normal set" looks. I think I paid about $200 for all the clubs (w/bag), and they should be fine until she hits 5-foot in about four years.

Just really impressed with them.

I tried to buy my daughter the same set about a month ago, but she liked the Callaway X Junior Set better:

The Callaway's are about 1/2 inch longer, and the driver is quite a bit larger (360cc vs 325cc for the Ping).

Both are really good sets though.

I bought a set of the Ping Moxie's last summer for my daughter for her ninth birthday. The driver was a little big for her, so she used the fairway wood as a driver. She was impressed with the set and so was I. I particularily appreciated the fact that the putter was a smaller version of the Craz-E, center shafted. I was very impressed with the quality of the clubs. I was showing my daughter how to hit the fairway wood off the ground and when I hit the ball, I was amazed how far I hit it. Certainly this set will last for a couple of years and will be handed down to the other two sisters. I would highly recommend the set.

I bought my son the Moxie set and he loves them too. I'm definitely keeping them for my second son when he's big enough to use them.


Funny, I win a bet with my son every time he messes up putting on the Ping double strap. It's about 80% of the time.

    • Day 22 - 2026-01-11 More mirror work. Back outdoors tomorrow.
    • Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)
    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
