The U.S. Kids Golf TS5-57 Sand Wedge is a purpose-built short-game weapon for junior golfers standing around 145 cm (57–60 in.) tall. Combining advanced Spin-Tech milling technology, the innovative PAD Center of Gravity system, and a junior-optimised J-Flex graphite shaft, this 56° wedge gives young players the confidence and control to tackle bunker shots, greenside chips, and approach play with the same precision as experienced adult golfers. The w10 head is 10% lighter than a standard adult wedge head, making it perfectly matched to a junior's swing speed and strength.
The TS5-57 56° Wedge features Spin-Tech technology, which spreads precision milling across the entire face surface — not just the centre zone. This full-face milling creates significantly more friction between the ball and the clubface at the moment of impact. The result is a cleaner, more consistent ball contact, higher spin rates, and better stopping power on the green. For a junior golfer developing short-game skills, the added control and predictability that Spin-Tech delivers are a genuine performance advantage in every situation around the green.
The Two Star Grind sole configuration features trailing edge and heel side relief, striking the ideal balance between full shot-making control and versatile greenside performance. This grind profile allows the wedge to glide smoothly through sand and tight turf without digging, making bunker shots more consistent and manageable. It also supports a wide variety of greenside shots — from bump-and-runs to higher, softer lobs — giving junior players genuine multi-shot flexibility from a single wedge. The Two Star Grind is the defining characteristic of the 56° loft in the TS5 family, chosen specifically for its blend of versatility and reliability.
The innovative PAD (Precision-Aligned Design) Center of Gravity system is engineered so that each loft in the TS5 wedge family has its CG positioned at precisely the right height on the face. For the 56° sand wedge, the CG is located in the middle of the face, delivering medium launch trajectories and mid-angle descent angles that are ideal for a wide variety of shots — from approach play to bunker recoveries and greenside chips. This CG placement ensures consistent distance control, a predictable ball flight, and exceptional feedback through the hands on every shot.
The head of the TS5-57 56° Wedge is forged from soft 8620 carbon steel, a material widely used in premium adult wedges for its outstanding feel characteristics. The softness of 8620 steel absorbs vibrations at impact, delivering a muted, responsive sensation that provides immediate feedback on strike quality. This is especially valuable for junior golfers who are learning to read contact and develop their short-game touch. The material also allows for precise machining of the Spin-Tech face milling and the Two Star Grind sole geometry.
The J-Flex graphite shaft is designed exclusively for junior players and is a key reason the TS5 wedge performs so well for developing golfers. The shaft is frequency matched to ensure consistent flex characteristics throughout the set, and it is spined — meaning it is oriented along its stiffest axis — to minimise unwanted twisting during the swing. This promotes more accurate face delivery at impact, leading to greater consistency and improved shot direction. The graphite construction also reduces overall club weight compared to steel shafts, making it easier for juniors to swing freely, generate speed, and maintain proper technique throughout a full round.
The w10 designation means the club head is 10% lighter than a comparable adult wedge head. U.S. Kids Golf engineers each club in the TS5 range to match the physical capabilities of a junior golfer — not simply to scale down an adult club. At the 57-size (designed for players 57–60 in. / approx. 145–152 cm tall), the 31.75 in. (80.6 cm) club length and w10 head weight work together to let younger players swing with proper tempo, balance, and posture. This leads to better technique development and higher confidence on the course.
