Amazon.com Product Description
Give your child the best chance at learning the proper swing and fundamentals with the Accu-Length Expandable Junior Club Starter Set, which will grow with your child for up to five golfing seasons--saving you hundreds of dollars. Before you know it, your son or daughter will be playing great golf and having lots of fun on the course. 
Each spacer has a threaded end that connects to the preceding space or shaft. Once installed, the spacers actually become a permanent part of the shaft. |  | Accu-Length's patented shaft spacer system allows you to add to the shaft length to accommodate your child's growth. The average junior golfer grows up to two and a half inches per year, and professionals agree that for every two inches your child grows, an extra inch should be added to the length of his or her club in order to achieve a proper fit. Each ultra-light Accu-Length spacer adds one inch to a club, and once installed they will not break, bend, slip, or rattle for the life of the club. The spacers have a threaded end that connects to the preceding space or shaft. After being installed by removing a locking pin just below the custom grip, the spacers actually become a permanent part of the shaft. This set of Accu-Length golf clubs has been designed with proper head weights and lofts for the intended age group. As your child grows and their skills develop, the spacer system of the Accu-Length golf club actually stiffens the shaft, slowly easing the forgiveness of the club as the speed of your child's swing speed increases. Additionally, each club has a lock at the top of the shaft that is designed to guarantee the grip will not unscrew or rotate during use. Each Accu-Length set includes a properly weighted fairway wood with a high-quality grip and head cover; a 7-iron for maximum loft and distance from either the fairway or rough; a pitching wedge; a heel-toe weighted putter; golf bag with dual straps, self-standing legs, and a small pouch; and a CD-ROM that has all the information you need to get started with your golf clubs. Each set also includes assembly instructions, sizing information, a private junior golf lesson from Rudy Duran, Rudy's trivia and frequently-asked questions. A sizing chart measures the child for proper custom-fitting. AL500 Series Set: - Designed for the youngest beginning players measuring 36.5 to 46.5 inches tall

 Great when they work, but excellent customer service June 18, 2008
I purchased two sets for my kids and the concept is great -- just add the spacers as the kids grow. However, there are a couple of things to watch out for:
- on multiple clubs, I have found the screw to come loose and the grip is no longer firm into the shaft. Acculength replaced one, no questions asked.
- I have had periodic trouble getting spacers in. Sometimes they just wont screw in. I think it has more to do with the shaft than with the spacer, but it is a pretty big pain.
Overall, I would say it is a better deal to replace individual clubs periodically than to have to replace the set every year or two.
 Missing pieces and NO spacers for the clubs included! January 10, 2008

Santa brought two sets of clubs for my 7 and 8 year old sons. The clubs are great so far, but we were led to believe that the "spacer pieces" which extend the club length over time, came with the clubs. No where in the product description does it mention the spacer pieces are sold seperately. There is no prompt to add on a spacer kit for the future. The advertising for the clubs says it will last a child for many years but how can this be when there is no mention of buying the spacers seperately from the clubs? This is totally unfair advertising in my opinion. To top it off, there was a new sticker put on the box describing the contents of the box...with no mention of a spacer. BUT, I peeled off the NEW sticker and the OLD sticker underneath said the contents did include ONE spacer. I feel like the company should send us at least one spacer per golf club set. The company definitely needs to change their product description to guide the buyer into "buying" the spacers seperately, in addition to the clubs. Funny that "locking pins" were included, but no spacers to "lock in!"
Lastly, a small bag of newer, longer locking pins were included in one box and not the other box of golf clubs. The newer, longer locking pins are said to provide a more secure lock for the clubs and to disregard the factory installed pins and the pins contained in the golf bag. Hmmm....
Sincerely,
Upset Santa
 What a great idea November 29, 2007

If you're looking for a great way to get your little one involved in golf, these expandable clubs can't be beat. Having the right length club for a growing kid is the best way to develop a great little golfer. That gets expensive and these clubs overcome that issue. The quality of the clubs and bag is top notch. They are light but don't seem cheap. I'm going to tell everyone I know and I highly recommend these for all developing young golfers.
