I, for one, believe that you can never start a kid playing golf too young. And as parents we only want the best equipment for our kids. Unfortunately, the best rarely comes cheap. That makes it kind of hard to shell out bags of cash for things that the crumb-snatchers tend to quickly outgrow. Accu-Length feels your pain, and to help out they've come out with their Accu-Length Expandable Pro Quality Junior Golf Club System, a high-end set of children's golf clubs that is designed to grow with your kid. Featuring an extendable shaft via aluminum spacers, the Accu-Lengths can be adjusted to cover several inches of growth at the twist of a wrist, virtually eliminating the need to replace clubs every time your child grows.

Sounds great, but how sturdy can they be once you get several spacers in the shaft? Accu-Length has taken great pains to ensure that their spacers fit snugly and securely throughout all stages of each club size. The spacer lock system uses a powerful built-in resin between spacers to ensure that the spacers stay put and the clubs have a solid feel. The grip and shaft are also held firmly in place via locking pins on either side of the spacers. After the shaft has been adjusted and the resin has time to set, your little darling can swing as hard and as often as he or she wants without worry.

Each of the four Accu-Length sets comes standard with an adjustable driver, seven iron, putter, and pitching wedge (pitching wedge optional in the smallest set). Also included in each set is a dual strap matching stand bag that can be adjusted with risers to accommodate the expanding clubs. Accu-Length also has optional woods and five irons if you feel that your kid needs a more rounded set. Bear in mind that these aren't low quality clubs. With stainless steel heads, rubber grips and shafts with varying flex depending on the age group, these clubs were made for years and years of use. And with the spacer system, your child gets a custom fitted club for every stage of growth.

Without a doubt, the Accu-Length is the only set of clubs to get if you have a child still in the growing stages. Each set comes with clubs, a stand bag, a sizing chart that measures the child for proper custom fitting, 12 one-inch spacers with pouch, two custom assembly tools, four locking screws, and a CD-ROM that includes assembly instructions, sizing information, and a private junior golf lesson from Rudy Duran (Tiger Woods' first golf coach). Available in four models covering child heights ranging form 39 to 47 inches, 45 to 55 inches, 51 to 59 inches and 55 to 62 inches, for about one hundred thirty to two hundred dollars (way cheaper than the cost of four sets of replacement clubs) you can grab a set at your local golf shop or online at www.AccuLength.com.
