Junior Clubs or Normal sized what age/height ?

In my experience it is size, strength and ultimately the level they are playing at which will dictate the clubs and we have been through what seems a lot when I listed them below but this is a junior who lives and breathes golf.

Advice from the club pro has always been useful in deciding on when to make the change as well because the key with junior golfers is not to overdo the stiffness and club length - let them grow and develop into it.

We have had a gradual process which has been circa 18 months per set and taken him from an initial handicap of 42 to 3.

1) Second hand half set of graphite ladies Lynx - served him really well at about 11/12 when he started playing at golf club
2) John Letters mens graphite - set of irons with couple of hybrids (cheap Direct Golf deal) 12/13
3) Ping i20's - first steel regular shafts 14/15 - over 6ft tall so were longer than std length
4) Srixon Z545's - main change being stiff steel shafts, are his current set

Ask your pro is best, but depending on his playing level and sounds like it is a seasonal activity rather than full on don't go too overboard and probably some second hand graphites would suit and if he plays more and improves then move up but beware of overly stiff clubs for the kids.
