The MKids Lite Junior Golf Half Set is the highest-specification junior golf set on the market, purpose-built for young players standing approximately 57 inches (145 cm) tall — typically aged 9 to 11 years. Every component has been engineered with the developing golfer in mind: progressive club lengths, lightweight graphite Launch Control shafts, tour-quality grips, and precisely sized iron heads all combine to deliver genuine ball flight, distance, and consistency right from the first swing. The green colour-coded stand bag ties the whole package together, making it easy to identify the right size at a glance and giving your junior everything needed to start — and grow in — the game of golf.
MKids worked closely with Grafalloy — world leaders in golf shaft technology — to create the ultimate junior graphite shaft. The LCX Launch Control Shaft is tuned using launch-monitor data to deliver a high launch angle and optimal ball trajectory at junior swing speeds. Its carefully calibrated stiffness profile promotes a high, penetrating flight without excessive flex, which means more consistency shot after shot. Low torque in the shaft tip keeps the clubface square through impact, reducing wayward shots and building confidence from the very first round.
The MKids Tour-Style Grip is a unique junior grip developed to match the specific hand sizes of young players at every size step in the range. Grip thickness increases progressively with club length, so a 57" set junior always holds a grip perfectly proportioned to their hand. This encourages a natural, relaxed hold rather than a tight, compensatory grip — fundamental to developing a repeatable, injury-free swing. The soft, tackified surface delivers tour-quality feel and stability even in damp conditions, making it ideal for the UK and European climate where junior golfers play.
MKids Lite iron heads are manufactured from stainless steel and scaled to exactly 90% of the size of a standard adult iron head. This reduction in head size is not arbitrary — it is precisely calculated to match the shorter swing arc and lower swing speed of young players at this height, delivering proportionate forgiveness and feel. The heads feature enhanced loft angles to maximise launch and carry distance, and their weight is graduated progressively across the set so each club feels natural when swung. The result is genuine, controlled ball flight rather than the skimming, low trajectories that over-sized or incorrectly weighted junior heads can produce.
MKids sizes every set by player height rather than age alone, because two children of the same age can differ significantly in stature. The 57" / 145 cm set is engineered for players measuring 55" to 59" (140–150 cm), giving a built-in 4" / 10 cm growth range per size step. Statistically, a child grows approximately 4" in 18 months, which means a correctly fitted MKids set remains optimal for approximately two full playing seasons before an upgrade is needed. The range spans six size steps for players aged 5 to 14 years, so there is always a perfectly fitted set ready as the young golfer grows.
The SLA (Slight-Arc) putter is specifically designed to suit the most natural putting stroke found in young golfers: a gentle arc path back and through rather than a purely straight-back-straight-through stroke. By matching the putter design to the stroke arc, MKids ensures the face returns square at impact with minimum manipulation from the player. This encourages a tension-free putting stroke, smooth acceleration through the ball, and consistent roll on the green — all critical foundations for a junior golfer learning the most important scoring skill in the game.
The MKids Lite Fairway Metal Wood features a low-profile head design that positions the centre of gravity close to the ground and well behind the face. This makes it significantly easier for a young golfer to get the ball airborne from the fairway, rough, or tee, compared with a conventional fairway wood. Combined with the LCX Launch Control graphite shaft, the fairway wood delivers a high, arcing ball flight with plenty of carry distance — exactly what junior golfers need to build confidence and enjoy the course from the very first hole.

Choosing the correct set size is the single most important factor in junior golf equipment. Using a tape measure, measure the distance from the ground to the top of your child's head while they are wearing golf shoes or trainers. Select the size whose range contains this measurement. If the measurement falls exactly between two sizes, move up to the next size. The green 57" set is the correct choice for children measuring between approximately 140 cm and 150 cm (55"–59").

One of the great strengths of the MKids Lite range is that it does not stop at the half set. Once a junior golfer has developed their game and wants to extend their arsenal, MKids offers the complete range of open-stock clubs — drivers, fairway metals, hybrids, individual irons, wedges, and putters — all in matching sizes and specifications. This means the half set is never a dead end: it is the foundation of a full, custom-fitted junior bag that grows alongside the player. As skill levels increase, individual clubs can be added one at a time, protecting the initial investment while ensuring the junior always plays with perfectly sized equipment.
