Description
U.S. Kids Golf UL7-63 (160cm) W10 Junior Wedge - Graphite, SW (56°-12°)
The U.S. Kids Golf UL7-63 W10 Sand Wedge is a purpose-built junior wedge designed for beginning and intermediate young golfers standing around 160 cm tall (approximately 12 years of age). Featuring a proven teardrop-shaped head design, this club is engineered to optimise performance from the sand and help junior players achieve a high, controlled ball flight on every short-game shot.
Part of the UL7 series, this wedge uses the Two-Star Grind system developed specifically for juniors. U.S. Kids Golf has engineered a unique grind profile for each loft in the USKG range. This particular grind is designed for a steeper angle of attack into soft surfaces — typically sand or thick rough — combining versatility with a high level of forgiveness.
The UL7 Sand Wedge features a wider sole with a gently rounded profile. The sole shape combined with heel relief delivers the ideal balance between full-swing playability and the ability to execute delicate shots around the green. Shallow, wide milled grooves on the face maximise spin for improved stopping power. The centre of gravity (COG) is positioned close to the centre of the head, promoting club stability, consistent launch height, and ball control on every strike. The 12° bounce angle — measured between the leading edge and the ground — prevents the club from digging into turf or sand, allowing it to glide smoothly through soft surfaces and enabling deeper penetration where needed, which results in a higher ball trajectory.

Technology in Detail
Two-Star Grind System
U.S. Kids Golf has developed a unique grind profile for every loft angle across the UL7 range, and the Two-Star Grind found on this 56° Sand Wedge is tailored specifically for junior players who are 160 cm and above. The grind is engineered for a steeper angle of attack, allowing the club to enter soft surfaces such as bunker sand or thick rough without resistance. This design philosophy combines maximum versatility — so the club works from a wide variety of lies — with a forgiving character that helps less experienced juniors recover from difficult situations. The Two-Star designation reflects U.S. Kids Golf's commitment to fitting every element of the club to the physical and skill profile of the young golfer.

Teardrop Head Shape
The classic teardrop head profile of the UL7 Sand Wedge is no accident — it is a proven design chosen specifically to optimise performance from sand and other challenging lies. The compact, rounded shape positions mass efficiently behind the impact zone, helping junior players achieve a higher ball flight and cleaner contact even when playing from soft, uneven surfaces. The teardrop form also contributes to the overall aesthetics of the club, giving young golfers a confident look at address that encourages better commitment to the shot.
Teardrop Profile
Wide Sole with Heel Relief
The UL7 Sand Wedge is built with a wider-than-average sole featuring a gently rounded profile and dedicated heel relief. This combination serves two important purposes: it makes the club easier to use for full swings from the fairway or rough, while simultaneously enabling delicate short shots around the green. The heel relief prevents the leading edge from catching at impact, allowing the sole to glide through the turf or sand naturally. For a junior golfer still developing their short game, this means fewer chunked shots and more consistent contact, making the learning process smoother and more enjoyable.
Wide Sole Design
Milled Grooves for Maximum Spin
The face of the UL7 Sand Wedge is equipped with shallow, wide milled grooves that are precision-engineered to generate maximum spin on the ball. Unlike steep, narrow grooves, this groove geometry grabs the ball effectively even from wet or sandy conditions, imparting backspin that helps the ball stop quickly on the green. For junior golfers learning the importance of spin and trajectory control in the short game, these grooves provide a tangible performance advantage that can shorten the learning curve and build confidence on and around the green.

Centred COG Placement
The centre of gravity in the UL7 Sand Wedge head is deliberately positioned close to the geometric centre of the clubhead. This placement has a direct positive effect on three key performance parameters: club stability through impact, consistent launch height from shot to shot, and overall ball control. When a junior golfer strikes the ball slightly off-centre — which is common at this stage of development — the centred COG helps minimise the loss of distance and direction, effectively adding a layer of built-in forgiveness to every swing.
Centred COG
12° Bounce Angle
The 12° bounce angle is the measurement between the leading edge of the wedge and the ground when the club is soled at address. This relatively generous bounce angle is a deliberate choice for junior players: it prevents the club from digging aggressively into sand or soft turf, instead allowing the sole to bounce off the surface and continue through the shot smoothly. At the same time, the 12° bounce permits enough penetration into very soft surfaces to ensure the clubhead gets underneath the ball cleanly. The result is a higher, softer ball trajectory — exactly what young golfers need when escaping bunkers or playing from thick rough near the green.
12° Bounce
K-Flex Graphite Shaft
The lightweight K-Flex graphite shaft is specifically selected to match the slower swing speeds typical of junior golfers in this height and age group. Graphite construction significantly reduces overall club weight compared to steel, making it easier for young players to maintain proper swing mechanics throughout a full round without fatigue. The K-Flex profile provides the right amount of bend and kick through the impact zone to help juniors generate adequate clubhead speed and achieve the lofted, high-flying trajectories that Sand Wedge shots demand. The grip fitted to the shaft is correctly sized for junior hands, ensuring comfortable hold and reliable feedback on every shot.
