U.S. Kids Golf TS6-66 (167+cm) W5 junior wedge, steel

The U.S. Kids Golf TS6-66 Lob Wedge (60°) with w5 Steel Shaft is the most specialised short-game club in the entire TS6-66 line, purpose-built for advanced junior golfers who demand precise trajectory control, maximum spin, and the versatility to stop the ball fast on any surface around the green. Designed for players 167 cm and taller, this lob wedge gives competitive juniors a true tour-calibre short-game weapon to attack pins from every angle.

• 60° Lob Wedge — Maximum Loft & Spin: With a 60° loft and 4° bounce, this wedge is engineered for the most demanding short-game situations — high flop shots over obstacles, precise greenside chip-and-stop play, and aggressive spin control on firm turf.
• CNC Micro-Milled Grooves (USGA/R&A Conforming): The face features CNC micro-milled grooves that meet USGA and R&A groove regulations, delivering consistent spin generation even on delicate, touch-sensitive shots — giving juniors greater control over ball roll and green-side reaction.
• Three Star Grind — Optimised for 60°: The Three Star Grind removes weight from the heel, toe, and trailing edge, making it easier to open the face and improving surface interaction — especially on firmer ground and shorter grass.
• PAD Technology (Position Actuated Design): PAD technology raises the centre of gravity to match the high-loft character of the wedge, promoting a steeper, more controlled swing arc, a more stable ball flight, and precise trajectory management even with aggressive spin play.
• w5 Steel Shaft — J-Flex, Low-to-Mid Kick Point: The w5 ocelový shaft with J-Flex profile and low-to-mid kick point delivers firm feedback at impact and stable club-head control throughout the swing. Frequency-matched shafts ensure consistent feel across the full TS6 set.
• Swing-Weight Matched to the Full TS6 Set: The lob wedge is swing-weight matched to all other TS6-66 clubs, ensuring a natural, seamless transition between full swings and delicate short-game shots — critical for building confident course management.

Technology Deep Dive

PAD — Position Actuated Design

PAD technology repositions the internal centre of gravity to a higher location within the wedge head. For a 60° lob wedge, a higher CG encourages a steeper angle of attack and a more upright, controlled swing path — translating directly into a more penetrating, predictable ball flight and repeatable spin output, even when the junior golfer is executing aggressive, touch-sensitive shots from tight lies or firm fairway conditions.

Three Star Grind

The Three Star Grind is a sole geometry specifically optimised for high-loft wedges. By removing material from the heel, toe, and trailing edge, it lowers the effective bounce during open-face shots, reduces the risk of the leading edge digging into the turf, and gives the player the freedom to hood or open the face for a wider range of shot shapes — a critical capability when playing from bunkers, tight fairway lies, or from around the green in tournament conditions.

CNC Micro-Milled Grooves

CNC micro-milling creates groove edges with sub-millimetre precision, ensuring each groove is geometrically identical across the entire face. This uniformity is what allows the face to grip the ball consistently at impact, channelling moisture and debris away and maintaining spin generation across a broad range of lie and turf conditions. The groove specification fully conforms to USGA and R&A regulations, making this wedge tournament-legal at all junior competition levels.

w5 Shaft — Built for Junior Biomechanics

The "w5" designation means the club heads are approximately 5% lighter than their adult-tour equivalents, allowing the shaft and total club weight to be tuned specifically for junior swing speeds and biomechanics. The J-Flex ocelový shaft with a low-to-mid kick point provides firm, responsive feedback at impact — helping developing players feel the quality of contact and build the hand-eye coordination needed for consistent wedge play. Frequency-matched production ensures this wedge feels like a natural extension of the full TS6-66 iron set.
