Clubs for kids

[Fromthecoast]

Trying to find some clubs that would be good for introducing my 5 year old to the game. Don't want to spend a fortune on clubs he will outgrow quickly. Just want to get him hitting here an there. I see US kids golf had a 9 iron with a training grip. I'm thinking that might be a good starter club and add a putter or wood/driver if he enjoys it. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Yes, Callaway Preowned Has a Deal on a 5-8 yr old set - jump on it as the quantity is limited - driver, fairway, hybrid, 9i, wedge, putter and bag - and a great price.

It looks like those are lefty only

Which coast are you on? I bought some off of craigslist. I bought a nice set of Barbie clubs for 15 clams shipped! They were brand new!

The Gulf Coast. South Mississippi specifically.

Thought if you were on the east coast and close you could check out the set I have.

A look around the site also revealed this similar set for under $100 in right hand

Sorry - that set was for 9-12 year olds....

Hey thanks for the links. I'm going to check them out. Not sure I want to drop $200+ just yet. I'd like to get him swinging a club first. Even if I have to upgrade soon. There is room for hand me downs or a second set of clubs when one of his friends want to play.

First tee provides clubs

I picked up a set of Intech? I think, that was the brand. 5-8 year old clubs, wood, 3 irons and a putter with a bag for 30 bux on cl.

[Fromthecoast]

Have you been satisfied with the Intech clubs? I've seen them but didn't have anything to go off of.

Here is a set, should be able to get it pretty cheap. I saw them all the time on here when I was trying to find one for my kid. I ended up just getting one of ebay though.

My boy wants new equipment ... When I replaced his 9i, which he lost, he said "but it's not new."

I said, "Neither are your other clubs."

I bought a US Kids golf 9 iron with the training grip. Ill probably pick him up a putter as well. Those two should keep him busy for a while.

Initech clubs are a little heavy for a 5 year old but they seemed solid. Like I said I got them second hand and they were pretty nicked up.

[Fromthecoast]

I will probably try to buy used for a full set. I'm hoping to get him started chipping and pitching in the backyard and go from there.
