If you're looking for a great way to get your little one involved in golf, these expandable clubs can't be beat. Having the right length club for a growing kid is the best way to develop a great little golfer. That gets expensive and these clubs overcome that issue. The quality of the clubs and bag is top notch. They are light but don't seem cheap. I'm going to tell everyone I know and I highly recommend these for all developing young golfers.

My son has been enjoying his Accu-Length Left-Handed golf set. He is a beginner so this set works perfectly! I would let buyers know though there are no spacers that come with this starter set. For this first season with the clubs he luckily did not need the spacers. We did purchase spacers separately. There are 5 spacers that come in a pack. For a first time golfer this set has been great!

I purchased these clubs for my 7 year old son after doing a great deal of research on the internet. My son is thrilled with his new clubs and loves having a set of his own instead of using First Tee's for lessons and games. The customer service is wonderful. I had a problem with one club and they immediately sent me a new one.

I just wanted to thank you for getting back to me so quickly. It is truly the highest level of customer service I have received in a long time. When my seven year old son had the best game of his life, and was able to complete all nine holes the first time he played with his Acculength clubs, my oldest son wanted to upgrade his $40 dollar clubs right away. I was amazed that the rep from Acculength called me back right away to say he wanted to route my order through another vender to avoid any delay due to backorder!
I have never been interested in golf myself, until now. We are having so much fun. These clubs make all the difference!
thanks,

My Mom purchased this set for my son who is age 4. Since he is still growing in leaps and bounds , he would outgrow a regular set of clubs rather quickly! What a great idea to have clubs that will grow with him. It is true the set doesn't include spacers but they are easily purchased. I actually emailed the company to inquire about spacers for left handed clubs and received a response in less than 3 minutes. Customer service like that is few and far between these days. Very happy with the clubs, the bag, and the service.

I purchased two sets for my kids and the concept is great -- just add the spacers as the kids grow. However, there are a couple of things to watch out for:

- on multiple clubs, I have found the screw to come loose and the grip is no longer firm into the shaft. Acculength replaced one, no questions asked.

- I have had periodic trouble getting spacers in. Sometimes they just wont screw in. I think it has more to do with the shaft than with the spacer, but it is a pretty big pain.

Overall, I would say it is a better deal to replace individual clubs periodically than to have to replace the set every year or two.

My son's yellow set just arrived, and he and I agree, it's beautiful.

The clubs are sturdy and solid, the bag looks great, and the instructions are clear for how many spacers you need depending on your child's height.

In contrast to some reviews here, our set did arrive with 4 spacers. Good thing, it turned out we needed them right off. I just finished inserting them. It's very doable, but by no means easy. Allocate an hour to get spacers for all 4 clubs full-flush with the lower shaft.

The trick is reading the troubleshooting pointers for spacer insertion, and using the strategies described. Basically, you can't generate enough hand-torque to screw a spacer directly onto the lower shaft. You need to, first, screw the spacer into the upper shaft; then used the increased leverage from both shafts to screw on the spacer. The problem is excess adhesive on the inner threads, which must be laboriously removed after each tightening. That is to say, for each club, I had to repeatedly screw the shaft-spacer-shaft assembly together as much as possible, then unscrew, then blow off or whittle away the excess adhesive; then repeat, repeat, repeat until the spacer sat flush with the lower shaft. It was a bit of an ordeal, but well worth it. My son said the clubs felt great.
