Anyone start their kids with single length irons?

[Wedgie]

My 13 year old is wrapping up his junior golf this week and is having a blast and wants to continue playing. He has been using loaner clubs for the program but we will need to get him some clubs. I've enjoyed my time with my F8 Ones but wanted opinions on whether or not it is a good idea to start a kid with them? Is it too risky? Anyone else try it?

 

Thanks!

To be honest, I wouldn't use the one length as a starting point.  From what I have read, one length is still very much for the small minority of golfers and many who try one length have issues with gapping at both ends of the set.

 

If it was me, I would be getting my son a traditional set.

I started my kids with the US Kids Golf clubs, just a wood, iron, and putter. No ned for a set until they commit, and then I would not go with one-length.

The idea of one length clubs was very intriguing when they started to be more well known. I tried the One Length Forged clubs myself, I think with some more R&D it will be a great option for many people.

 

But to start them on single length could be setting them up for failure if they stop producing the clubs when the Bryson effect wears off.

 

Variable length clubs have been around for ever, and aren't going anywhere.

 

Single length... can you guarantee that they'll be around when your kids are 30?

I think that is probably wise advice.....thank you!
