_____________________________

 

It’s a very Wilson week, and for good reason.  Gary Woodland wins the US Open (62 total for Wilson), #SpyStaffSlam, D7 irons testers announced, and now, we’re about to do a test that has never been done before: Junior Clubs.  Kids are the future and we should invest effort into giving them the best possible opportunity to succeed.  Wilson’s line of Junior clubs covers all ages and we’re looking for representation from each age group to test and keepa set of Wilson Junior Clubs.  

Ages 13+: Profile SGI Teen

 

Now, do we expect these juniors to write up reviews?  Absolutely not.  It’s hard enough to get them to do their homework!  This is where you, the forum member, comes into play. We’re seeking sponsors willing to work through the review with their prospective future stars.  This could be any parent, relative, neighbor, friend, teacher, etc that can guide our junior testers through the process and write the review on their behalf.  The template will be shorter and simpler to make it easier on everyone but the work still needs to get done.

 

This opportunity is open to both Boys and Girls, Right and Left handed residing in the US.  The usual requirement of an active forum account with profile picture applies to the sponsor.  To apply, post a comment to this thread containing the following information:

1. Your Name and Location

2. Junior’s Name and Age

3. Junior’s Current clubs

4. Junior’s Desired Set

5. Fun fact about your Junior

 

To learn more about these sets, make your way over to the Wilson website HERE for the Junior sets or HERE for the Teen.  Of course, Wilson.com will always be your primary resource for all Wilson products.

This is so cool. If my 13yo wasn't in love with his Cobras I'd sign him up for this in a heartbeat. Very unique opportunity here.

Wedgie Jr. is already rocking a set of these and in my opinion this is the coolest testing opportunity I’ve seen. Awesome idea and best of luck to those that are chosen.

5. My son Luke like most boys his age has a short attention span but golf is the one sport that he wants to focus on both playing and watching. Started with a first tee program this year with the 8 and 9 year olds until physically he couldn't keep up and moved down a age group. He already asked me to build a chipping green in the backyard which his mother agreed to. Now we are figuring out how to make it a natural putting green

David Barnett in Augusta, GA.

Junior is my 8 year old (about to be 9) son, Collins Barnett here in Augusta, GA.

His current bag is a mix of irons from USKids (6i & PW), a Bazooka Max Driver & Hybrid, my old cut down Vokey wedges in 52 & 60 degrees of loft, and a US Kids putter.

He's pretty advanced for his age as he's been playing since he was 3 years old. He swings hard, and hits his driver incredibly well. He tends to be a little less consistent with the irons. His short game is amazingly good. He loves practicing chipping and putting. His desired set is anything a little lighter than his current set, but he wants technology like I have. He plays competitively, and wants every advantage he can get.

Fun Fact: He's a total history buff. He knows more about WWII than anyone I know.
