U.S. Kids Golf TS3-51 (130cm) AIM 1 junior putter 26"
The U.S. Kids Golf TS3-51 A.I.M. 1 Junior Putter is a precision-engineered putter designed for intermediate to advanced junior golfers with a player height of approximately 130 cm (51–54 in.). Part of the celebrated Tour Series 3 line-up, this 26-inch putter uses the Alignment Integrated Method (A.I.M.) system to match each club’s geometry to the player’s natural aiming tendency, helping young golfers hole more putts and build lasting confidence on the green.
The A.I.M. 1 model features an offset hosel design, placing the shaft in front of the face. This geometry is specifically intended for right-handed players who naturally tend to aim or miss putts to the right of the hole, encouraging the hands to lead the face at impact for a more consistent, on-line stroke. The result is a putter that works with the player’s tendencies rather than against them, producing better green-reading habits from an early age.
Clean, refined lines and a tour-proven brushed satin finish inspire confidence at address, while the higher head weight delivers optimal feel and precise distance control throughout the putting stroke. A CNC-milled face ensures a consistent, true roll every time the ball leaves the face. The A.I.M. 1 is available in both right-hand and left-hand versions, and ships complete with a matching headcover.
Key Features
- A.I.M. Offset Hosel: Shaft-forward offset design corrects the natural tendency to aim or miss putts to the right of the hole (right-handed player).
- Club Length – 26 in. (66 cm): Sized perfectly for junior golfers in the 51–54 in. (130–137 cm) player height range.
- Stainless Steel Head with Satin Finish: Durable stainless steel construction with a brushed satin surface that reduces glare and inspires confidence at address.
- CNC-Milled Face for Higher MOI: Precisely milled face promotes consistent contact, improved moment of inertia, and a true, end-over-end roll.
- Steel Shaft with Offset: Rigid steel shaft engineered with the offset geometry that positions the hands ahead of the ball at impact.
- Increased Head Weight: Higher head mass enhances stability through the stroke and gives the junior golfer superior feel and distance control.
- Age-Appropriate Grip Size: Purpose-sized grip fitted to the TS3-51 club to suit smaller junior hands for consistent feel and stroke repeatability.
- Headcover Included: Protective headcover ships in the box to keep the milled face safe between rounds.
- Available in Right and Left Hand: Both JRH (right-hand) and JLH (left-hand) versions are offered to suit every young player.
Technology in Detail
Alignment Integrated Method (A.I.M.)
The A.I.M. system is the defining technology of the U.S. Kids Tour Series putter range. Rather than offering a single, universal putter shape, U.S. Kids Golf developed three uniquely designed head shapes and hosel configurations — Offset (A.I.M. 1), Non-Offset (A.I.M. 2), and Onset (A.I.M. 3) — each engineered to fit a junior player’s natural aiming tendency. The A.I.M. 1 uses an offset hosel that places the shaft visually in front of the face, encouraging the eyes and brain to aim the face more squarely. This targeted approach removes a common source of putting errors right from the fitting stage, helping juniors build a reliable, repeatable stroke from the very start.
Offset Hosel Design
The offset hosel on the A.I.M. 1 positions the center of the shaft ahead of the putter face at address. This geometry moves the player’s hands forward at impact, promoting a slight forward press that keeps the face square through the hitting zone. For right-handed junior players who habitually aim or miss to the right of the hole, this subtle but effective design adjustment can significantly reduce the frequency of missed putts. The offset also lowers the visual line of the top rail, making alignment lines and aiming aids easier to read at address.
CNC-Milled Face & Higher MOI
The face of the A.I.M. 1 putter is CNC-milled to exacting tolerances, ensuring a perfectly flat, consistent striking surface across the entire face. This precision milling translates directly into a truer, end-over-end roll from the moment of impact, reducing skid and helping the ball start on the intended line more consistently. The milled face construction also raises the Moment of Inertia (MOI) of the head, meaning off-center strikes are less penalized — particularly important for developing junior golfers who are still refining their stroke mechanics.
Optimized Head Weight & Feel
The A.I.M. 1 features an increased head weight relative to lighter junior training putters, calibrated specifically for the TS3-51 club length. The higher mass adds pendulum stability to the putting stroke, making it easier for the junior golfer to control both tempo and distance. The stainless steel construction delivers a solid, satisfying feel at impact, giving the player clear feedback on strike quality. Combined with the correct grip size for smaller hands, the overall weight distribution helps young players develop proper stroke rhythm and the touch needed for consistent lag putting and short-range holing.
