PGM Junior Mallet Putter

Overview

This PGM putter puts a 24 inch stainless steel shaft and mallet head in a child's hands, sized specifically for kids in the roughly 3 foot 2 inch to 4 foot height range, with alignment lines and a soft grip built in.

PGM sizes this putter by height rather than age alone: the listing's own attribute copy pairs the 3 foot 2 inch to 4 foot range with ages 3 to 8, even though the title advertises a wider age 3 to 15 span. Since a mismatched shaft length changes posture more than a slightly off age number does, go by the height guidance and size up if a child has a taller or more upright stance. The offset plumber's neck and grooved mallet face aim to reduce off-center miss effects rather than add distance, fitting its role as a first-putt training club rather than a full junior set.

• 24 inch stainless steel shaft
• Sized for children about 3 feet 2 inches to 4 feet tall
• Triple alignment lines on mallet face
• Offset plumber's neck design

Who it's for

For parents introducing a young child, roughly 3 foot 2 inches to 4 feet tall, to their first putting stroke indoors or on the lawn. Not the right pick for a taller or older kid, since the listing's own sizing guidance tops out well under the wider age range the title claims.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The grooved mallet face and offset neck do the practical work: increased face friction cuts skidding on contact so the ball rolls truer on off-center hits, and the plumber's neck bend sets the face back slightly so a child can line up the alignment marks without hunching. The stainless shaft is fixed length, so the sizing decision has to be made once, correctly, at purchase.
