The weight of a club affects flexibility. The weight of the club directly affects its flexibility. Park says a Calloway club is stiffer than a U.S. Kids club. Nike is also very stiff. A stiff shaft isn't a problem for a child who is a tournament player. Beginners need more flexible clubs.
Swing Speed

Swing speed separates golfers of different levels. You can separate beginners from more advanced players by their swing speed. If a child swings up to 70 mph, he is considered a beginner, anything upward of 90 mph is considered a tour level player.
