I'd like to buy my six year old grandson some clubs. What is available is either rubbish or expensive. How about cutting down a seniors or ladies set? Anyone tried that?

I bought my daughter some Hippo kids clubs which are reasonable.
Also, the Dunlop ones at Sports direct aren't too bad.
Even second hand off eBay would be ok. No point getting silly when he'll outgrow them in a year or two.

My lad is 5 and he has a set of Masters J range. They are excellent in terms of durability and quality. They dont feel cheap but only cost £80 including a wee stand bag.

Definitely get kids clubs rather than cutting down larger ones as the heads will be too heavy. Start off with a putter and something like a 7 iron to see if he enjoys it. There's no point in forking out for a full junior set if he loses interest.

Callaway do some great kids clubs. Will find a link for you. My son loves his. I believe tha Ping do some also. Guess it depends on your budget.

Sports direct. As stated above buy 7 iron and putter see if they like it. And they out grow them that quickly!!
I donated my sons to the junior section of my local club as what do you do with them otherwise? Ask around as there may be plenty of teenage golfers at your club with junior sets in the garage. I would definitely back up the comments about not cutting down adult clubs. The heads will be too heavy for the kids. The junior clubs are ideal in terms of length and weight.

From my experience, both when I started and with my daughter, all kids want to do is make the ball go in the air so I'd go for a wedge rather than 7 iron.
Other people's experiences may differ.

Tried several options with 'Chucker minor (9) and we settled with US Kids Golf stuff. Great value and designed with kids in mind, specifically in terms of lofts and shaft length/flex. Made his first par last week so we're chuffed

saw these at Manchester golf show last year great kit the 5 year had a go and got a freebie cap, but quite expensive to start out.
I got a jaxx set from DG for £20 in xmas sales, the putter gets abused on the crazy golf course at the range and other than that a 9 iron to start as region says all they want to done is get the ball going forward in the air.
They grow so quick no poit spending a fortune at 6. wait till 9 or 10 with bit more strength.

Just saw this pop up on that website. Hybrids and putters there as well. Not too expensive.

Another shout for Golphin for kids. Properly developed for kids with weight and sizing etc, my club pro raves about them for the kids. Gonna get my older 2 a set next year when they are big enough!
