Is there really a difference between boys and girls clubs for juniors?

Question

I have been looking at junior golf sets for my daughter. She is nine, will be 10 in a few months. She has just finished her first session of junior golf. I got her a boys set for ages 9-12. They didn't have any girls sets. I see some online, but the set I got her had five clubs (driver, what they call a "utiility iron" that looks like a 3 wood, a combo 5/7 iron, a combo 9/PW, and a putter) in a nice bag with a stand. The girls sets online are about $20-50 more and only have 4 clubs.

Does it really matter if she has boys clubs at this age? This set seems to be just the right size for her. They are very lightweight, have graphite shafts, and she can swing them easily. The only real difference I can see is that the girls sets are pink, and these are blue. She says she likes them and doesn't care that they are not pink.

Answer 1

They will probably have a little lighter flex in the shafts, but I would not get her a whole new set. Keep the set shes playing with now then when she has outgrown those get her the girls set. If it is only 4 clubs though I would stick with the guys set.
