Junior Fitting

Balance Matters More While a Swing Is Still Forming

A junior set off the shelf is built to an age bracket, not a measurement. We put a growing player on the same calibrated beam every adult session uses and scale the numbers to their actual size and speed.

Why Swingweight Matters Early

A club that's too heavy for a developing player forces compensations that get grooved in early and are harder to undo later — overly quick tempo, a flying elbow, a grip that changes mid-swing to manage the weight. Reading swingweight against a junior's actual strength, not an adult chart, avoids building those habits into the swing from the start.

Length gets set from wrist-to-floor measurement first, since two juniors of the same age can need clubs two inches apart in length once that number is on the beam sheet.

What Gets Measured

  • Wrist-to-floor length
  • Total head weight on the beam
  • Grip diameter against hand size
  • Swingweight scaled to junior swing speed
Re-Checks

Specs Stay on File for the Next Growth Spurt

Every junior fitting's beam readings get archived under the player's name, the same as an adult spec. A re-check six months or a year later starts from that record instead of a fresh guess, and we'll say honestly whether a growth spurt has made a re-fit worthwhile yet.

Bring whatever the player currently carries — hand-me-downs, a boxed junior set, or nothing at all.
