Popular Post SmoothG Posted August 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2019 (edited) First, let me say THANK YOU to MyGolfSpy and Wilson Staff for this opportunity! Also thank you to my wife for helping get some great photos! My name is Gabe and I’m the proud dad to my daughter Mya. As any proud parent would do, I'll start with a photo. Mya is four years old and is at the very beginning stages of being introduced to golf. She has tagged along in the cart with mom and I for nine holes and attempted to hit balls in the yard or basement. Mya’s “beginner set” was a toy: One of the ranges nearby really tries to involve kids into the game of golf. They have a mini putt course and cut down clubs that are available for kids to use free of charge. The first time I took Mya to use the kids putting course, she turned to me and said “Dad, these clubs are my size, can I take them home?” It was then that I started to look into purchasing a set of real clubs for my daughter and wouldn’t you know it, just a few weeks later Mya was selected to review these clubs for Wilson! The other really cool thing about all this was the timing because these clubs arrived the day before Mya’s birthday. What a great gift! Mya really enjoys bringing her own clubs to the putting course. Just a few quick thoughts about me. I’m 34 and began playing golf in the late 90’s during the Tiger Boom. My plan is to just share my love for golf with Mya and hope that she develops a passion for it, as I have. I don’t plan to teach anything technical to Mya about the golf swing, I just want her to enjoy herself. The only thing I’ve corrected her on is hand position because she instinctively grabbed the club cross handed. While playing nine holes I like to let Mya putt when we reach each green. As she improves I’ll put balls on fringe and let her chip and putt while incrementally moving back until she tees off from about 25 yards, then 50, 100 etc until she can consistently hit full shots. Between rounds we will practice at the range and putting course and for a special treat we’ll hit Top Golf which was what first excited Mya about the game! This set was the Wilson Profile JGI Junior - Size Small. Mya was coming from a plastic set, so needless to say these clubs are a gigantic upgrade. Right out of the box I can tell these clubs are quality. The heads are heavy and you can really feel the weight of the club. Here are pictures from many angles, let me know if there is anything else you would like to see. Assuming this is a quality product (which all first impressions would indicate), this product should last Mya 4-5 years until she outgrows it. Mya currently falls into the low end of the recommendations at 43” tall. I’ve always viewed Wilson as a budget option and while budget may be accurate in terms of price, the quality is every bit as good as the leaders in the industry. Our main testing goals with this product is to determine the quality of the clubs (i.e. how they hold up to frequent use) and how easy they are to hit for the suggested age group. We will be testing by frequently hitting balls with all clubs and see how Mya gets better over time with practice. I will be tracking progress as Mya goes from hitting putts to getting the ball airborne with the iron and wedge. This has been her first time actually hitting real golf balls and some were airborne. So far so good! I’m very much looking forward to helping Mya test these clubs and reporting back to the community. As every parent knows spending quality time with your child creates such special memories and getting to do it on the course is just a cherry on top. Please let me know if you have any specific questions and I'll do frequent updates on Mya’s progress. I’m eager to start this journey and I hope that those following along will benefit from our sharing this experience. Stay tuned...

SmoothG Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 (edited) Stage 2 Wilson Profile JGI Junior - Size Small Official Review by Gabe and Mya What a great couple months this has been! Unfortunately the summer days are winding down for Michigan and the golf season is almost over. On the bright side, The Lions are undefeated. I suppose I should post this draft before the weekend so my statement can be true, at least for a little while! Testing this Wilson Junior set has been an incredible opportunity and a great way to introduce my daughter to this wonderful game that I love. On several occasions this summer, Mya has said “Dad, let's play golf”. If I got nothing else out of this experience, I would be extremely grateful for the time we have spent testing out these clubs. Most of our testing was completed either hitting balls in the backyard, on the driving range, or the practice green. Due to Mya’s age (4) we only spent a little time on the actual golf course since she needed to learn how to hit a golf ball first. First and foremost, Mya can hit a golf ball. I think that is the most important thing. Some shots are whiffs, some are worm burners and some are those pure strikes that keep us coming back for more. Onto the review. [See Stage 1 for individual photos of each club] LOOKS: 18/20 Clubs all look good, shape is appropriate. I would have preferred a mallet for the putter. Also I wish the putter had the same alignment aids on the grips that are present on the other clubs. SOUND: 15/15 At 4 years old, Mya doesn't exactly have a consistent stroke to comment on the sound. Not gonna lie tho I took a rip at this tiny driver and it sounded just fine! FEEL: 15/15 These aren't forged, they are for kids. Feel was 100% appropriate for what they are intended to do. BASIC CHARACTERISTICS: 23/25 The ball only flies as straight as the stroke you put on it. These clubs are a great set for a child but again I'd wish for a mallet putter in this set. OVERALL: 15/15 These clubs absolutely are better than our starter set. These are appropriate for the intended age group And I feel with additional practice these clubs will not hold Mya back at all while she is learning the game. TOTAL JUNIOR SCORE: 86/90 SPONSOR SCORE: 8.5/10 I think these clubs are a great fit for the intended age group and I would not have been disappointed if I purchased them. From top to bottom this has been a good experience. The clubs arrived well packed and Wilson did a great job putting together this set for kids. There are 4 clubs in the set and its perfect for the beginning child. The price point is fair and the quality of the clubs is appropriate for the price point. These clubs will easily last until Mya is big enough for the next size up. FINAL SCORE 94.5/100 If I could change a couple small things about the set I would switch out the blade putter for a mallet. Maybe it's because that is what I play and learned on but I think they are easier to line up for the beginner. Also the clubs all have white lines on the grips which help with hand placement and alignment but the putter grip has no such markings. Several times when trying out the clubs Mya asked “where do I put my hands”. I enjoyed this process and I know that Mya did as well. I’m looking forward to the years ahead when I can share more family time on the course. These clubs will last Mya at least 4 years when she will likely need to upgrade to the next size. When that time comes I’ll have no issue picking up the next Wilson Golf Junior set. Enjoy the moments on the course and create memories! Thank you again my friends!

Popular Post deejaid Posted August 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2019 Do you remember your first set of clubs? Or even just your first club? I do. A Wilson Blue Ridge wedge and a putter. They were old and beat up and were made when Sam Snead was at the top of his game. They might not have been the new Ping Eye 2’s that were taking the golf world by storm, but they were enough to start me on my golfing journey. 35 years later, equipment has come a long way, not just for adults, but kids as well. Today’s junior golfer has access to quality clubs at a price that won’t break the bank with size and weight optimized for a kids size and strength. I’m sure we all wish we could have had the options for junior clubs back then that is available today. The tools of the trade for the young beginner A wedge and putter, that’s what grandpa said I would start with. Learn to hit a wedge and we will move on from there he said. For the last 35 years I’ve continued to dig the answers out of the dirt and while life has sometimes interrupted my golfing journey, I can get around the course averaging low 80’s and am quite content with my game. I enjoy reading the teachings of the classic players like Hogan, Nicklaus, and Armour and try to pass on bits of knowledge to my daughters, but they have resources available to them that I never dreamed of including weekly kids clinics with a club pro and clubs that are fit just for them. When the review opportunity was announced for the Wilson Profile Junior Sets I had planned on applying for my oldest daughter Emily. She is a sporty, athletic kid that has taken to golf and is progressing nicely. Her set of Nicklaus Golden Bear Junior clubs fit her well and perhaps an upgraded set would help her progress even further. But the more I thought about it I thought it would be helpful to have the input of kid that is really just beginning and maybe isn’t a natural athlete. Enter The Konger..... Layla or “Kong” (Korean for “little nut” or “little one”) as she is known in our family due to her Korean grandmothers inability to pronounce Layla, is a great kid that loves reading and Girl Scouts. She isn’t as athletic as her sister but is so bright she figures out how to do things on her own. She is like the character Egghead Jr. from the old Foghorn Leghorn cartoons. While her older sister Emily really liked golf from the beginning, Layla warmed to it a little more slowly. At 7, Layla is just starting to learn the game. The first few months of her golfing journey I offered very little instruction, I just wanted her to swing the club whatever way felt comfortable and most of all have fun. I wasn’t surprised when she started making solid contact on her own, even if it isn’t the prettiest swing. Like Egghead Jr., she might be little and not as athletic, but she figures out how to get the clubface to the ball her own way. [/url] After a few months with the old wedge and putter we saw that she liked golf so we decided it was time to get her a real set. Wilson Profile Junior Set A big thanks to MGS and Wilson for the chance to test the Profile Junior set. Layla couldn’t believe she was picked! Before opening the box we saw that Wilson included a handy size guide printed right on the side of the box. To get the right size all you need to do is have Jr. stand next to the box and measure where their hands align on the chart. We opened the box and were impressed with the kit. The fit and finish of the clubs are fantastic. Consisting of driver, hybrid, iron, wedge, and putter, the medium set has just the right amount of clubs for a Junior age 7-10 to experience and practice all facets of the game without being overwhelmed by too many clubs. The bag is lightweight and seems to be of average quality though not quite as nice as the clubs which, again, are very nice. Layla’s game is a work in progress. At this stage of her journey we are focusing on having fun and learning to hit all the clubs in her bag. Performance at this age is not at the top of our list of testing but ease of use and durability will be. The next few weeks we will go through the bag and see how she fairs hitting a driver and hybrid for the first time. But we thought we’d go to the range and get some first impressions for the new Wilson Profile set. It looks like her putting might need some extra attention. . We’ll work on it.

Popular Post deejaid Posted August 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2019 Wilson Profile Junior Set Official MGS Forum Review by Deejaid and Layla- Stage 2 After Layla was selected and received her Wilson Profile clubs it was time to ditch the old cut-down wedge and putter and get to work hitting all the clubs in her new bag. Layla goes to a weekly junior golf clinic and we added a weekly range session as well for practice. Looks 20 out of 20 Layla really liked the color of the clubs and I liked the look of the clubs as well. I was particularly impressed with the wedge as it has a nice shape that keeps the shape of a grownup blade wedge while adding some perceived forgiveness with the small cavity. Sound Score 15 out of 15 Layla is 7 year old beginner so the sound of hitting the ball is great to her. It’s when she swings and misses that she doesn’t care for the sound Feel Score 15 out of 15 Again, a 7 year old beginner can’t really discern a good feel or a bad feel of a golf club so again we will default to a 15 of 15 as the clubs, as far as I can tell, seem to be well made and were comfortable for Layla to play. Basic Characteristics Score 22 out of 25 The clubs performed well when Layla was able to putt a good strike on the ball. The grips are nice and the entire set has graphite shafts which makes them light enough for a beginning junior to swing. The one area I think the club could be improved would be the putter. I think a mallet putter would help young players gain confidence and would be a nice option to have available. Layla said she likes her putter but also thought it would be cool to have a mallet putter like her left-handed sister now has in her bag. Total Junior Score Score 87 out of 90 Sponsor Evaluation Score 9 out of 10 It’s been a fun few months working with Layla on her golf game. I can honestly say she is more enthusiastic about practicing now that she has a quality Junior set of clubs, and that enthusiasm hasn’t waned. She is starting to see positive results and asks to go to the range so she can practice more which is a positive sign. I have been taking my daughters to junior golf clinics for over a year now and having a background in education I try to pay attention to what the instructors are teaching and also what type of equipment the kids are using and what works for them. I’ve seen many junior sets and I can honestly say the Wilson Profile Junior set is one of the best sets I’ve seen at its price point of $139.00 and rivals sets costing $100 more. For a seven year old just learning the game, Wilson included just the right amount of clubs to have them experience all aspects of the game; tee shots, hybrid and iron play, chipping, and putting, without overwhelming. Layla’s set is holding up well with only normal wear to the clubs. If I could change anything I’d like to see some sort of attachment that could make the blade putter look like a mallet so the child could choose which putter style works for them. I’d also love to see an adjustable length set of clubs, perhaps the grip section could be unscrewed with a longer grip section screwed on when the child grows. The rate in which children grow is always a concern leading parents to many times buy clubs for their child to “grow into” which only leads to frustration for a novice trying to learn the game with ill-fitting clubs. Final Score 96 out of 100 Overall, I believe Wilson has hit a home run with the Wilson Profile Junior line of clubs and for 7-9 year old the medium set is a great fit. For the price of a new wedge you can get your child a great set of clubs that will help them get more enjoyment out of the game. Now I need to wrap up this review, Layla wants to hit some more balls.

Popular Post chershey Posted August 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2019 Wilson Profile SGI Teen Set Review Old and Tom Morris, Davis and Dru Love, Jay and Bill Haas, Chad and Connor. What do all these duos have in common…okay what do three out of four of these duos have in common? I’d love to say my son, Connor, and I are as amazing a father and son golfing combo and the other three but sadly I, at least, never achieved my full potential (still holding out hope for the PGA Champions tour in a few years though). There’s still plenty of hope for Connor though. Which brings me into part one of the review for the Wilson Profile SGI Teen Complete Set. Let me back up a bit though and tell you a little bit about my fondest memories of golf. I’ll never forget playing golf with my Dad up in Michigan. He was a great golfer back in those days and I just liked to go out with him, swinging out of my shoes, trying as hard as I could to keep up with his monster drives. Even though we played quite a bit when I was younger, the golfing bug didn’t really hit me with full force until I was in my younger 20s. This was when I decided I wanted to put some effort into the game and play as well as I could. Flash forward 20 years and I’m hitting the ball further then my Dad ever did and we still love to play together. It’s how we bond. It’s also the same bond I always hope to have with my 12 year old son Connor. (Connor was 7 in the pic above) To tell you a little about Connor, he’s pretty big for his age. At 12, he’s already 5’6” and weighs as much as me. He attends golf camps every summer, at a local course in South Carolina, where he quickly earned the nickname “Tank”. We’ve been playing golf together since he was six years old and he’s gotten better and better over the years. In addition to the golf camps, he’s also taken private lessons with the golf pro that runs the camp, and he thinks Connor has tons of potential, especially with his size and strength. We are building that same bond my Dad and I had. He’s already got the golfing bug it took me too long to acquire. I haven’t gotten him into playing competitive golf yet, but I think he’s close to being ready. When we go out to play, I normally have him play from the red tees and his drives are very often further than mine are from the back tees. His biggest strengths are his length and chipping. His biggest weaknesses are his putting and a lack of understanding the rules (he loves that foot wedge!). These are two things we can work on though. I’ll have him ready for PGA in no time! (Tank) Connor has had many golf sets over the years. He grows so quickly that sets don’t last him very long. Last summer, Connor was playing a set of US Kids golf clubs meant for 10-13 year olds but his golf instructor told us he had outgrown them,when he was eleven, so I purchased him a Callaway Big Bertha Fusion 13.5 degree driver playing at 44.5” with a lightweight, regular flex shaft and a Big Bertha Fusion 5 wood at 41”, also with a lightweight, regular flex shaft. Those two clubs were game changers for him, as you could really see how far he can hit it with better equipment. His irons/hybrids on the other hand probably aren’t great for him. They are a set of Pinemeadow PGX clubs that look like Taylormade knock-offs. They were purchased with the intent for my wife to learn the game, but after sadly collecting dust for a couple of years, I figured maybe my son could get some use out of them. He’s hit some good shots with them but he’s also been inconsistent, so I’m not sure if they are the best fit. His sand wedge is an old Cleveland 588 RTX and his putter is a 33” Spider Tour that I kicked out my bag about a year ago. Protecting his driver is a Darth Vader head cover and the fairway wood is protected by none other than Yoda (good thing they are friends now in the afterlife). He’s has a golf towel with the words “MAY THE COURSE BE WITH YOU.” Housing all his clubs is Carolina Gamecock golf bag that he got for Christmas (as a Michigan State Spartan fan, this one hurts me a little). It’s a great golf bag though, with plenty of pockets and individual slots for every club. Now, on the new sticks. The Wilson Profile Teen SGI set comes with a 10.5 degree driver, a 5 wood, a 5 hyrbrid, 6-SW irons/wedges, a blade style putter and a golf bag. Most of the clubs, and bag, have yellow highlights on back of the clubs, which is perfect since yellow is Connor’s favorite color. The shafts are a made for Wilson shaft with a teen flex. The driver and fairway wood have graphite shafts and the rest of the set, including the hybrid, all have steel shafts. The grips are also made for Wilson but feel nice and soft in the hand. They are made for teens in the 5’3” to 5’8” range, which Connor is right in the middle of. Putting them up against his current set, they are about an inch shorter than what he has now, but he usually grips down on the club, so that should be perfect. (At least he's got the right shirt on in this pic) Initial impressions from Connor is that they look “cool” (he’s very insightful and descriptive). I think they are sharp looking clubs. Although Wilson makes some of the best clubs on the market, especially irons, most people look at their complete sets as cheap, but it looks to me like some thought went into this set. The driver presents a lot of loft and I’m convinced it’s more than 10.5” but I think Connor needs that. The 5 wood and hybrid look very forgiving, like it will be easy to get the ball up in the air. The irons have a thick topline and also look to pack in a lot of forgiveness. The wedge looks forgiving but also very playable from a variety of lies. The blade putter has soft looking insert and feels very light. It also comes with a thin grip which is very different from the Superstroke he has on his Spider putter. The bag is decent, but it lacks pockets (3) and isn’t nearly as nice as his current bag. If he didn’t already have a bag it would be sufficient. (Current iron on left, Wilson iron on the right) (Current driver on left, Wilson driver on the right) Our initial thoughts are as follows. He prefers his current Gamecock golf bag to the Wilson bag, so that contest was over quickly. The Wilson irons/hybrids seem to be a lot better fit than his current irons, so these will most likely make it into the bag and stay. The driver/fairway woods will battle it out to see what will make it into the bag. The putter will also have a tough battle to beat out the great Spider Tour but, if it performs, it might make it into the bag. Over the next several weeks, Connor will be putting all these clubs to the test. He will try them head to head on the range. We will use my Swing Caddie SC300 launch monitor to see what’s giving him the most consistent distance. He will also test some of these clubs on the course against his current set to see which one he strikes better. It will be a tough battle for some of these Wilson clubs but I think they have a good chance. Which clubs will win this epic battle? Stay tuned for the stage 2 review to find out. I know we’re excited to see what these things can do.

deejaid Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Nice start Connor and[mention=57814]chershey[/mention] ! It will be really interesting if the box set Wilson woods can keep up with the Big Berthas Connor has now. That will be a tall order for sure. The Wilson irons in his set look really nice. It’s interesting that the teen set comes with steel shafts in the irons. I wonder if the thinking is that this will be the last junior set before they are fitted into adult sets which, for a young adult, usually means steel shafted irons? Kinda ease them into the world of steel shafted irons.

deejaid Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Nice stage 1[mention=68289]SmoothG[/mention] And cute kid! I hope Mya has fun with the clubs! That putting course looks awesome! Looking at your pics, my pics, and chershey’s pics I think Wilson has really done a nice job of making a quality club for a 4 year old like Mya, a 7 year old like Layla, and and older kid, nearly teenager like Connor. The heads on the irons seem to be more sophisticated on Connor’s set which for an older kid would be welcome as they are more aware of clubs that adults play.

SmoothG Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Thanks@deejaid and@chershey for getting those up quick! I'm very interested to see how the sets for older kids end up working out since Mya is so young I'll be keeping up with what may be next for her. This has really peaked my interest in junior clubs. I'm always up to date on what's coming out in Men's gear but really have no clue what is available for kids.

chershey Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 12 hours ago, deejaid said: It’s interesting that the teen set comes with steel shafts in the irons. Yep, most of these junior sets seem to lean towards graphite shafts so there a little more lightweight, but I'm guessing that by time they reach Connor's age and size, they don't need the weight savings. What I found the most interesting was that they used a steel shaft for the hybrid. You don't see a lot of hybrids with steel shaft, even in adult sets. russtopherb 1 Quote Titleist TS3 9.5* w/Accra TZ5 65 X-Stiff Titleist TS3 15* w/Fujikura Ventus 7X Callaway Apex19 Hybrid 20* w/Accra TZ5 95X Callaway Apex19 Hybrid 23* w/Accra TZ5 95X Titleist 718 CB 5 iron w/KBS $Taper X-Stiff Titleist 718 MB 6-PW w/KBS $Taper X-Stiff Titleist SM7 Wedges 50*, 54*, 58* w/KBS $Taper X-Stiff Bettinardi Queen B 10 34.5" Titleist Pro V1 or Snell MTB-X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Layla thinks it’s funny that she has new clubs and mine are from 20 years ago.
