Group review of starter equipment for a new generation


Cobra Golf

Ian Barrett, Cobra Golf's marketing manager in the UK, tells me: "Cobra has always put a lot of money into research and development for Junior and Ladies clubs, so we appreciate Golfmagic's initiative in showcasing our range of clubs for kids.

"Each club is engineered with the same sophisticated computer-aided design programmes and high-quality materials we use in our adult models," he says.  "The Cobra J/Speed Series features two distinct sizes, with age-appropriate shaft flexes, club head weight and grip size specifications. The clubs also come with a Cobra J/Speed cap."

Wilson Golf

Only recently launched, this range of Wilson Staff FG Tour equipment has been inspired by successful Tour staffers Ricky Barnes and Padraig Harrington.

Based on the success of the FG Tour series, these junior sets add elements of forgiveness and distance and will help youngsters new to the game.

“The FG Tour Junior sets will allow young golfers to feel as though they are playing the same clubs as their golfing heroes - and in some respects they are,” says Bob Thurman, Wilson Golf research and development guru.

“Although the FG Tour series was originally developed for the low-handicap player, the FG Tour Junior sets have been modified to junior specifications to allow for forgiveness and distance while offering the same level of performance as the FG Tour.”
