For any parent looking to get their child into golf, there is an equipment journey to go through. At first, you simply need something reliable to help them get the ball in the air and heading roughly in the right direction. Then, as they start to improve, finding the best golf club sets for kids to help them shoot lower scores is something well worth devoting some thought to.
For many years, PING has set the bar for junior specific golf equipment with its Prodi G range. The basic idea has been to use the R&D expertise behind the brand’s G line and then refine it specifically for kids. What’s more, for those buying more than five clubs in one purchase, you get a no-charge, one-time adjustment so the clubs can grow with your child.
Of course, the price reflects the offering and the latest version of the Prodi G range will cost over $1,000 for a 7-club set (around £1,000 for an 8-club set in the UK). The question is, if you are willing to make this kind of investment (versus something more affordable like the RAM Junior G-Force), what do you get for your money?

This has certainly been the case for my own son who used the previous Prodi G line-up and has just moved into the latest version. As his golf has improved over the last couple of years, the benefit of clubs that are lightweight, easy to hit and deliver high flights throughout have been clear to see.
