What are the best golf clubs for a 14 year old?
January 31st, 2009
Sean asked:
I recently turned 14 years old and my height is about 5′3″ I am pretty short for my age. I’ve gone through a lot of junior golf sets, and they are not long enough for me now. I’m looking into buying a new set of clubs. I’m wondering what the best clubs for me would be, ladies or mens? Any specific clubs/brands you recommend? I can afford a nice set of clubs. I need a full set of clubs; wedges, irons, woods, a putter, and a driver. I’m an average golfer for my age and usually par or bogey holes. I’m starting to golf a lot more and I’ve really come to like the game. I want a nice driver, I’m not into used/cheapo clubs, but I do not want to get the fanciest set there is, and break the bank.
I’m not a beginner, I’ve been playing since I was young, now I need a better quality set.

Hello, I am 14 years old also
.
I you’re a beginner, you might want to use graphite: Ladies or Senior clubs. These are lightweight and flexible. If you do not wish to buy/use them, you can buy men’s regular golf clubs. (I am curently usin Wilson Staff Ci7) And I am very happy with them.
The key “ingredients”
- Buy clubs with regular shafts
- Buy clubs with a big head (maby hybrid clubs)
- Test the clubs before buying them

Okay well if you say that your a bogey golfer then you obviously have some kind of a good swing, i would say to buy a set of clubs that have some sort of a cavity back to them. The ping gi5’s or gi10’s are great clubs, they are very soft and have forgivness to them. Another set of irons that are good are the titliest ap2’s they are soft and forgiving also. For woods and drivers i would suggest going to a driving range where they have alot of demo clubs and try out what driver and fairway woods you hit the best and feel the most comfortable with. For wedges you need to buy wedges with a bonce of 10 or above. and for the putter, its whatever you feel more comfortable with. GOOD LUCK
You can have a look at
We most likely will answer this question another hundred times. Never buy golf clubs , sight unseen. Go to the local Salvation Army, Good Will, Thrift shop and see if they are offering any sets. If not, get to the local sporting goods store or golf shop, see what is being offered, swing the clubs, if there is a practice mat hit some practice balls.You should also be feeling the weight of that club head at the end of the shaft. Good Luck on your purchase.
I would recommend looking here:
for Junior golf clubs.
Good Luck!

When I started golf I purchased my complete set bag/putter included from Big5. My point is this, u can buy a quality set from Big5, Wal-Mart, Target, Sports Authority/Chalet etc… what u want to look 4 are the sets that r sponsored/endorsed by a professional golfer like John Daley/Jack Nicholas etc… They will not lend their name to companies that sell “junk” so they tend to b of better quality in a reasonable price range. 7 years later I still own them and use them as backup/travel clubs and my real set is Cleveland but only after playing and having a feel for what I wanted do 2 my playing style… Until u start playing and understand the game these starter sets are the way to go… these “brand names” others suggest will cost u over $1000 to get what u need. the starter sets all included r around $150, a good price to invest to start with… PS: my step dad is 5′4 and uses womens clubs because the length is good. don’t concern ur self with men/womens clubs for now it is about fit/feel and only u will know…see u on the course..
I am 14 years old and these are some good clubs for anyone. I would recommend getting a..
TaylorMade Tour Burner Driver
TaylorMade Burner 3&5 Woods
TaylorMade Burner Irons
TaylorMade rac chrome 56 and 60 degree wedges
and an Odyssey straight shaft 2 ball putter.
If you want to find them a bit cheaper, then get them used and most of the time you can get some pretty nice used clubs at a reasonable price.
