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

zKJSFxoCC8Fm7ndLMXM_g4cEcaUHn6B94VexdBXqteXpkIZXfC-VgsoZGP4R1d9WGsPEhkn7sM4kDlO68R6wa6qNZZylQ_M8CJo8TqQRoTnDauJqqyhmKrJyEkzz59pYCtQOHZpmKw=w2400

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”.

IcPi1s-EzLdi_coKsQzNvhr_u69oJ0r4GjGh_KFg2wzU26tyde4lo-KmwuGtwm1hP7mo5nJFgy--qs6ssP-tHFxq7sMW0LF68QcCbCJU5Em-z06Ttu4k61z_tZdfOi9KbrMyabfZ8g=w2400

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.

And a terrific one it is.  She's adorable.   And wow what a full back swing and follow though...I'm very jealous.
This is going to be a fantastic thread to follow.  
Props to [mention=73629]GolfSpy STUDque[/mention] for pitching this testing for over a year and getting it done with the great folks at Wilson! 


Yeah, she really goes for it!

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.

 

Nice stage 1

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.

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.

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.

Which one of you guys is going to be the first to play a hole with your kids sets?


Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy



I did take a couple swings with the wedge, don’t think I’ll play a hole though.

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