Ping introduces next gen Prodi G junior golf clubs

For too long, junior golfers have had to put up with clubs that don’t compare to the clubs the adults in their lives play with. But, Ping are aiming to change that with their latest version of the Prodi G range.

The set, which is aimed purely at junior golfers, features ten clubs, and players can pick from a combination of a 15⁰ titanium driver, 22⁰ fairway wood, 28⁰ hybrid, perimeter-weighted irons (6-9, PW), specialty wedges (54⁰ S & 58⁰ H) and tour-proven putter models (Anser and Tyne H). The lightweight clubs can be ordered in any combination.

In fact, the clubs can even be custom fit, to allow young golfers to really be dialled in with their set, something that many won’t have been able to enjoy in the past.

Players will enjoy lightweight clubs, which include, thinner, more flexible faces, to increase ball speed and produce a high launch for golfers. In the irons, there’s a custom tuning port, which can be adjusted with a swing weight during the construction process.

To help parents find the ideal combination of clubs for their junior golfers, Ping’s Fitting Science team developed WebFit Junior, a web app that recommends club specifications and set makeup based on the answers to a few questions about the player.

The process takes less than two minutes to complete. The junior golfer’s skill level, age, height, wrist-to-floor and average driver distance are factored into the recommendations.

Among the outputs from the data is a gapping-analysis feature that allows users to experiment with the set makeup by adding or removing clubs to see the effect on distance gaps.

“Focusing on the needs of junior golfers and utilising the technology of our adult product lines, we’ve advanced the performance of the new Prodi G family to deliver more distance while launching the ball higher to help ensure juniors experience consistently good shots and have fun on the course,” said John K. Solheim, Ping CEO & president.

“We’ve also expanded the build range of the entire set, allowing us to better fit a wider height range of players using the new junior fitting app. With junior golf growing at a very high rate, we’re excited to bring all this to parents who want to get their kids started with a premium, high-performance set of clubs, custom fit and custom built just for them.”
