The purpose of junior golf clubs is to get the basics right first and from there ensure they enjoy the game as much as possible so that they continue to play as they grow up.

The lofts are generally much higher to help launch the ball into the air. There is also more offset on each club to offer some assistance in squaring the face at impact.
Again it comes down to making sure you have purchased the correct set for your child to ensure he/she is able to hit the ball effectively without struggling with the length or weight of the club.

There is quite a vast array of golf clubs for juniors available with varying prices too. Generally the mainstream brands such as PING, Callaway and Cobra carry a higher price tag and this is no different with their golf clubs for juniors; however, their equipment is generally easier to hit and offer more performance benefits.
