Lag Shot Junior Golf Training Club
The Lag Shot Junior training club is designed specifically to develop lag and release mechanics in younger players, using weighted geometry and counterbalancing to encourage increased clubhead speed while protecting proper sequencing. Compared to alignment-focused tools like Eyeline and plane trainers like Tour Striker, Lag Shot is the go-to for juniors who need safe, repeatable speed training; its performance-first design is a bit more specialized and can command a premium for measurable distance and speed gains.

SKLZ Gold Flex Junior Training Club
The SKLZ Gold Flex Junior is positioned as the best-in-class value trainer for junior golfers thanks to its lightweight, highly flexible shaft that builds tempo and swing feel without a steep price. Compared with the pricier Orange Whip and branded Callaway options, SKLZ delivers similar tempo-training benefits at a lower cost and with durable construction tailored to smaller players. Its technical advantage is a purposely soft shaft that encourages smooth acceleration and a repeatable takeaway, making it an accessible starter tool for on-course carryover.

Cleveland Golf CBX Full-Face Junior Wedge
Cleveland Golf's CBX Full-Face Junior Wedge earns a best-in-class spot for short game training because its expanded full-face design gives junior players a larger sweet spot and more consistent contact, building confidence during practice. It trades some of the tour-grade shot-shaping of the TaylorMade and Callaway options for superior forgiveness and a typically lower price point, making it an ideal bridge from entry-level wedges to more technical junior models.
