US Kids Golf

US Kids Golf was started in January, 1997 after the founder had problems getting his own children started on junior golf. The cutoffs and junior golf clubs they were given were so heavy they were not only hurting the kids' swings, but also their desire to play.

That's when Dan Van Horn began developing Ultralight Kidsklubs, designed to be 25% lighter than adult and most junior clubs, and formed the company U.S. Kids Golf. Since then, parents and pros around the world have seen the incredible difference these specially designed junior golf clubs have made in their child's swing and enthusiasm for the game.

A range of left-handed version of the clubs for each of the four age groups is currently being added to the Anything Left-Handed shop - watch this space and the Club newsletter

Features of the US Kids junior golf range

Lighter Weight
U.S. Kids Golf was the first to introduce lightweight clubs for kids. Ultralight (25% lighter), Performance Light and Championship Series (12% lighter) and the new Tour Series (6% lighter) clubheads are designed to allow kids to develop a smooth, natural swing.

Flatter Lie Angles
Our clubheads are designed with flatter lie angles to prevent the club face from closing at impact and driving the ball low and to the left.

US Kids Golf could not give us any images of left-handed clubs so we will
have to take our own when the clubs and sets arrive in stock!

Flexible Shafts
Our shafts are lightweight and flexible to provide more feel for the clubhead during the swing and to help get the ball in the air. In addition, only U.S. Kids Golf frequency matches and spines shafts for it's kids clubs.

Slender Grips
Our grips are designed to be slim enough to fit kids' hands and help learn a proper grip.

The same applies to the Green and Blue systems

The Yellow System clubheads are designed to be 12% lighter (Performance Light) than adult clubheads. The shaft is generally five inches longer than the Green System and slightly stiffer to meet the needs of the developing player.

The Mango System clubs are specially designed for girls 11 and up. Featuring clubheads that are 12% lighter (Performance Light) than adult clubheads, girls will love the look and the feel of these clubs and be encouraged to try the game.

Most kids start with a five club set (3-wood, 6-iron, 8-iron, Pitching Wedge, and Putter) and add clubs as they grow in the game. The next clubs needed are a Driver, Training Club/9-iron, and a Sand Wedge. As the young player begins competition, the need for the remaining clubs becomes evident.
