WHY PGA PROFESSIONALS RECOMMEND GFK: Product Design Feature of Irons
22% lighter than traditional junior clubs
Advantages for Kids Easier to swing, keep balance and encourages kids to instinctively hinge and rotate their wrists and arms on the backswing. Traditional junior and kids’ clubs are too heavy, causing the kids to sway and lose control, resulting in “the club swinging the kid, rather than the kid swinging the club.”
35% larger sweet spot
Traditional junior clubs have smaller clubheads than adult clubs, making it more challenging for kids to strike the ball. Our oversized club heads make it easier to connect with the ball.
Radial profile of sole
More forgiving for variable lie angles. Traditional kids’ clubs have a fairly square leading edge. GFK clubs have a radial sole, reducing the resistance at impact to the turf or mat.
High flight grooves
Generates more spin on the ball, increasing its trajectory significantly. Therefore, the ball gets airborne more quickly and flies higher than with traditional kids’ clubs.

GFK+ PROGRESSING FROM BEGINNERS TO WINNERS Providing kids with products that inspire a desire to progress and improve is mission critical as young golfers aspire towards competition golf. Golphin’s engineering team have therefore developed a high performance range of clubs to enable a transition from Beginers to Winners for kids aged 7 to 14. Designed in 4 stages, the club weight and shaft CPM (flex and torque) increases as the kids grow taller and increase their club head speed.
GFK+ has been tested against all other leading junior clubs and proven to outperform all other brands.

“One of the main challenges when coaching beginner golfers, particularly juniors, is to ensure the first few lessons or practice sessions result in a positive experience. Like anything in life, confidence leads to enjoyment and with this revolutionary product from Golphin there has never been an easier golf club to help the beginner enjoy the game."
PGA Professional Paul Girvan, Director of Golf at Aberdeen, Kings Links & former Walker Cup star
“Getting kids to love golf can be a challenge. Making it fun, interesting and a game they can play with their friends is essential. The clubhead design and properly flexed shafts just get the ball airbourne so quickly. Golphin's range of clubs helps kids learn and enjoy golf from the very beginning. Best kids clubs I've ever seen.”
Ronan Rafferty Former European No.1 and Ryder Cup Winner
