Here, in the first of two installments, is a look at five sets of junior clubs that received favorable comments in a recent demo session with a group of golfers aged 8-12. Based in Redmond, Wash., First Tour was founded by George Todd, who had been in the business of making industrial parts from plastic composites. Everything was a miniature version of a product that an adult gets. We've designed and built miniaturized versions of properly designed clubs. First Tour targets youth 4-16.
Customized options abound.
First Tour has a chart describing ages, heights and weights to help in choosing the right lengths and shaft flexes. The clubs have a very impressive, ultra high-tech look that kids do notice. Maybe not a big deal to adults, but the kids really liked the color. First Tour clubs are sold both in sets and individually. Bags come in black.
