Re: How should I measure a 4 year old for

Hi Mully,

The way I fit my 4 year old (who is the size of your average 6 year old) was to dry fit the shaft into the head, put her into a good address position, and mark the shaft where her good position had her gripping it. This left some butt end hanging out, but that was fine - it showed me where to cut and grip.

It's currently a perfect size for her. As she grows, I'll epoxy in extensions until I've epoxied 2" of exensions, then I'll reshaft.

For her putter, I cut it to half her height, then had her address a putt with it (no grip). Same idea, just to leave a little butt sticking out the end. Cut and grip.

Again, I'll extend it as necessary until it's time for a new shaft.

I say it too often: If it's golf club shaped, you can play with it.
