Early in 2012 at the PGA Show, in Orlando, U.S. Kids Golf launched four new sizes to its Ultralight line, the leading range of equipment in junior golf.

With these great new additions, US Kids Golf features more exact fitting than any line of products from other manufacturers,
advancing its’ position of providing the best-fitting, best-performing clubs for young golfers.

“Maintaining the correct proportion of club length to player height is critical to player development and enjoyment of the game,” said Dan Van Horn, Founder/President of U.S. Kids Golf. “Our research indicates that the length of the driver should be two-thirds of the player’s height. With these additions, our Ultralight line now ensures that young players will receive the same level of fitting that adults receive.”

The 2012 Ultralight line will now offer nine sizes for young golfers beginning at 39 inches tall and increasing in three-inch increments.

Experienced golfers have learned that having clubs that are the proper length is vital to their success. But
there are several other aspects of the golf club that must change as a young golfer grows? US Kids Golf clubs are the
only clubs that accounts for these additional dynamics in club-fitting, offering an unmatched level of
customization.

These dynamics include an increase in the weight of the clubhead, mass of the driver head and diameter and
weight of the grip. U.S. Kids Golf clubs also decrease in shaft flex and driver loft as players get taller and
develop more speed through their swing.

“Swing plane consistency and the ability to develop swing speed over time are all vital to improvement and
retention for young golfers,” said Van Horn. “With the expansion to our Ultralight system, we know that teachers
and coaches will be benefitted when their students use junior golf clubs that enable them to improve.”

U.S. Kids Golf, the first to offer pink clubs and bags for girls, includes optional pink clubs and bags for five of its
nine sizes in the updated line: 39”, 42”, 45”, 48” and 51”. Another important upgrade is in the design of the
stand bags which will offer a grip handle to ease lifting for the seven largest sizes: 45”, 48”, 51”, 54”, 57”, 60”
and 63”.
