TaylorMade's new junior clubs not only improve the fitting experience by having more options but come with helpful tips and drills.
TaylorMade Golf
It’s always an exciting experience to see a junior golfer get their first set of clubs, and TaylorMade is looking to make that experience even more enjoyable with the introduction of the Team TaylorMade junior club series.
The new junior clubs from TaylorMade not only improve the fitting experience by having more options, but they also come with access to exclusive content from Team TaylorMade athletes and ambassadors to help parents and kids with tips and drills to jumpstart their skill development.
Designed with a purpose
Each set of Team TaylorMade junior clubs have been developed to help golfers achieve the proper fundamentals with the help of lightweight shafts and heads to make the clubs forgiving and easy to swing.
The 400cc driver offers a super low center of gravity, while the fairway wood and hybrid have a low profile to make them easy to hit and get up into the air — because few things bring a new golfer joy like watching a ball take off and carry down the fairway.
Just like many of TaylorMade’s adult clubs, the irons come with inverted cone technology and thin faces to increase MOI. To give an example of the weight savings achieved through the sets, the heavy 7-iron head weight is 248 grams while the light 7-iron is only 205 grams. To put that into perspective, a standard P-series iron has a 7-iron head weight of 270 grams.
To complete the sets, they each come with a properly sized bag, plus headcovers, which are stain-resistant and ergonomically designed for growing golfers.
