The Game for Youngsters

Make sure that the club you choose is light weight. If the club is too heavy there will be a tendency to squeeze the club which creates a habit of holding the club too tightly. The club should be held very delicately. It's also a good idea to use a more lofted club. If a club with less loft is used it's much harder to get the ball airborne so use a lofted club.
Youngsters have natural swing ability, it's only when they get erroneous (although well meaning) advice that swing problems develop.
