A precision-engineered junior wedge for players aged 167 cm and taller, the U.S. Kids Golf TS3-66 v5 Gap Wedge delivers adult-level performance in a package perfectly sized for the advanced young golfer. Optimised for players standing 167 cm (66 in.) and above with swing speeds of 80 mph (128 km/h) or more, this club bridges the gap between junior and adult equipment — the final step before transitioning to full men's or women's irons. With specifications genuinely comparable to the finest adult wedges on the market, the TS3-66 v5 GW empowers junior players to attack the flag with confidence, spin, and control.
The TS3 Gap Wedge is built around the One-Star Grind system: a full sole grind with minimal trailing-edge relief that creates a wide, low-profile contact surface. This design is ideally suited to full approach shots from all turf conditions — tight fairway lies, light rough, and firm links turf. The wider sole increases stability through impact, reducing the risk of digging and improving forgiveness on slightly heavy strikes. Whether you are hitting a full-swing approach or a controlled half-shot to a tucked pin, the One-Star sole glides through the turf predictably and exits cleanly.
The entire striking face of the TS3-66 Gap Wedge is treated with precision CNC milling, creating a consistent micro-texture across every square millimetre of the face. This full-face approach ensures maximum friction at the point of contact regardless of where the ball meets the face — at the sweet spot, toward the heel, or out on the toe. The result is reliable, repeatable spin that holds the green and stops the ball close to its landing spot. Compared to previous-generation TS2 wedges, independent robotic testing shows meaningfully improved spin rates and reduced roll-out.
The centre of gravity in the TS3-66 GW head is positioned with the same precision as premium adult tour wedges. A well-placed COG translates directly into consistent distance control and trajectory repeatability — the player can commit to a number and trust the club to deliver it. The COG location also contributes to a satisfying, feedback-rich feel at impact, helping junior golfers to build the tactile awareness that separates good wedge players from great ones. This is not a compromise design: it is adult-level engineering scaled for the junior golfer.
The J-Flex steel shaft is the performance backbone of the TS3-66 wedge, precisely frequency matched and spined to work in harmony with the club head. Frequency matching ensures every shaft in the TS3 system plays to the same flex profile, so the player experiences a consistent feel across the entire set. The low flex point promotes a high launch angle — critical for junior players who need additional height to carry bunkers and land softly on the green. The steel construction adds the weight and stability that more advanced junior players prefer when they want precise feedback from their short-game clubs.
The v5 designation confirms that the TS3-66 club heads are engineered to be exactly 5% lighter than equivalent adult tour wedge heads. This weight reduction is carefully calculated to match the physical capabilities of the advanced junior golfer — fast enough to need real feedback, but still developing the strength and tempo of a fully grown adult player. The result is a club that feels responsive and lively without being unwieldy, encouraging the correct swing mechanics and tempo that will serve the player well into their adult career. The TS3-66 v5 series represents the final rung of the U.S. Kids Golf ladder before the player steps into full adult equipment.
At 35.5 inches (90 cm) finished length, the TS3-66 GW is built precisely for players standing between 167 cm and 175 cm (66–69 inches). Playing a correctly fitted club length is one of the most important factors in developing a repeatable, technically sound swing — a club that is too long or too short forces compensations that become deeply ingrained bad habits. U.S. Kids Golf's height-based fitting system removes the guesswork, ensuring the lie angle and shaft length deliver correct posture and ball position automatically. When your player reaches this height range, the TS3-66 is the right tool.

The TS3-66 Gap Wedge on a J-Flex steel shaft is the workhorse of the junior short game. Built around the One-Star Grind — a full sole grind with minimal trailing-edge relief — this club is engineered for versatility from all turf conditions. Whether the player is firing a full-distance approach from the fairway, punching out of light rough, or spinning a controlled pitch to a tight back-left pin, the GW's wide, stable sole slides cleanly through the surface. The precisely positioned COG lets the player commit to a yardage and deliver it with maximum spin. Full-face milling ensures that off-centre strikes still generate the grip on the ball needed to hold the green. The J-Flex steel shaft is frequency matched and spined for consistency throughout the TS3 system, with a low flex point that promotes the high, carrying ball flight junior players need.
Paired with the Gap Wedge, the TS3-66 Lob Wedge completes the junior wedge system for 167+ cm players. The Three-Star Grind features trailing-edge, heel-side, and toe-side relief, giving the club maximum versatility for open-face flop shots, bunker explosions, and delicate chip-and-run scenarios. At 60° loft with 8° bounce, this wedge delivers exceptional spin and trajectory control around the green — no more fear of the short game. The wider sole combined with toe- and heel-side weight distribution provides the ideal blend of stability and shot-making freedom. The Three-Star groove milling pattern maximises ball rotation even with an open face angle, producing the penetrating spin that stops the ball exactly where the player intends. Also 5% lighter than adult lob wedges, on a J-Flex steel shaft at 90 cm (35.5 in.) finished length.
