Callaway Golf XJ Junior Golf Set

We got the Callaway XJ Junior Golf Set for my son, who’s almost 8, and I’m really impressed with the quality—especially compared to some of the cheaper sets you find online. These clubs feel solid and well-made, not flimsy or toy-like at all. The set is the perfect size and weight for him, and the grip feels comfortable for his hands. He’s been able to swing with good control, and it’s clear the clubs are designed with young golfers in mind, not just scaled-down adult clubs. Overall, I feel confident that this set will last as he grows and helps him develop good habits on the course. Definitely worth investing in if you want something better than the super cheap brands.

Great quality my grandson is hitting some great shots. He loves the set, it really helped up his game.

They are great quality! The bag and golf clubs are great, my husband who is a great golfer got impressed with the quality.

What a perfect gift for our golf lover. These are high quality with all the details.

I bought these clubs since the irons was the exact missing numbers on my son's US Kids golf set. The clubs looked great and the build quality is exceptional but it was noticeably hefty compared to the US kids counterpart. Which isn't nessarily a bad thing. Being heavier might make it harder to lug around the clubs in the fairway, but it could also mean a greater swing momentum which can translate to greater distance. However the problem I encountered was that even if the Callaway xj level 2 is meant for a height range of 47-53 and my 5 year old son uses a us kids 48" height clubs. The Callaway still seems too long for him to swing properly. The only club he can use from the set at the moment is the putter, but I guess he would eventually grow taller and be able to use the other clubs.

Exactly what you would expect from Calloway brand name product, level 2 for a 5-8 year old. My son is tall for 5 years old so it might not work for every 5 year old, and may not work for a tall 8 year old. Do not buy a cheaper no name brand, unless the golfer is really not interested and possibly will be used less than a couple times. If you are looking for a quality set to use a couple times a month at the range or on the course, do not skip on these. Great ball flight on the driver and wood, the irons seem to have an adult size surface on them but don’t feel heavy which is very forgiving. Quality bag, will not be disappointed for $300. Don’t forget to look at the “other” buying options. I bought “like new” which was a brand new bag with all the seals still on the clubs but had a scratch on the box it came in for $45 cheaper than brand new, which who cares about the box it comes in.

My grandson loved them. He’s 9 years old and plays for the PGA juniors

This is a good set of clubs for a teen starting golf. The length of the irons are close to my my standard Titleist s Men’s irons, the putter is a 33” which is what I use (I am 5’9”), and the hybrid/wood/driver are too short for me. The carry bag is basically standard adult size but is very light. The clubs are good but there is no special tech used. The irons are cavity back game improvement irons, the hy/fw/drv are pretty standard. All the shafts are whippy as a Junior flex should be, but if your teen can crank it, get adult clubs and have them fitted by a pro. The mid-mallet putter appears to have an Odyssey White Hot insert, though it’s not branded as one. It has a nice feel and comes with a headcover that is not mentioned anywhere (see pic). The bag is cheap in both material and quality. My teen said the shoulder straps were uncomfortable compared to her old Ping bag. Other reviewers noted quality issues but I didn’t understand the extent until we got our set. The putter head was not aligned correctly and in a closed position so tendency is to pull the putts. The bag strap was also coming apart at the seams (see pic) and the foam cushioning is coming out. From this you can see the materials are sub par, and I will probably have to get another bag soon. The good news is I called Callaway and they are going to remedy the issues under warranty. This is one of the reasons to spend a little extra for a premium brand- great customer service. I’ve had good experiences with them on my own equipment in the past. If anything new happens I will update this review. Overall, I think it is still a good set for a younger teen who is just starting out, but not for an experienced player. Another set I would recommend is USKids TS3, but teens don’t want to use clubs that say “kids” on them.
