Wilson golf profile JGI junior complete golf set review
The problem with the junior club set market is that some manufacturers try to push a certain style of play on young golfers too early in their development as opposed to creating sets that offer a broader opportunity for development.
They feature clubs that are too technically advanced in some areas and not adequate in others. But the Wilson Golf Profile Junior Set strikes a perfect balance of generalized quality and technological sophistication.
They are perfect for anyone looking to get their kids into golf, anyone who wants a good first club set for their kids that will help them develop their game or anyone looking for a good gift for the golf-loving junior in their life.
First things first: the Wilson Golf Profile Junior Set comes with a driver, a wedge, a hybrid, a putter and a short iron. This is the medium set which is recommended for players between the ages of 8 and 12. This is a good lightweight set that comes with a quality bag that your kid can carry his or herself.
We really liked that this set includes a good quality wedge. Wedge practice is essential if you want to get your child use to approaches to the green. The Wilson Golf Profile Junior Set wedge features a weighted sole that allows for more wieldy approaches and promotion of good swing mechanics.
The head of the driver is a little smaller than we expected for a junior set but that doesn’t seem to affect the size of the sweet spot. One of our staff members took his daughter to the driving range with the driver and the hybrid wood.
He came back to work Monday singing the praises of the driver. His 9 year old daughter was able to find the sweet spot after only about 5 swings and said she was downright giddy at the contact sound it made and the distance she got from it.
The putter of the Wilson Golf Profile Junior Set has alignment markers on it which is important for young players. It allows for accurate putts and isn’t too weighted.
The hybrid wood was also pretty impressive even for us adult payers (if only they were a bit longer). It features a flattened heel which makes it easier for junior players to get under the ball and strike the ball out of the rough and off the tee.
You also get a pretty good loft degree out of it (we estimated about 25 degrees).
The bag it comes with features 2 standing legs which provide good stability. The set also comes with a couple head covers for the wood and driver. This particular set (their medium version for 8-12 year olds) comes in either yellow or purple (bag and club accents).
