Phoenix, Arizona - The new Moxie junior set gives young golfers the benefits of proven Ping technology in a package engineered to match their size, strength and ability, according to John A. Solheim, the company’s chairman & CEO.

"The Moxie set is designed to be easy-to-swing, get the ball airborne and help ensure a young boy or girl has a positive first experience with golf," said Solheim. "When they have success and enjoy the game, they’ll stick with it. We all know that’s extremely important for the growth of our sport."

The seven-club set, which is designed for boys and girls ages 8-12 years old, includes a titanium driver (15°), stainless steel fairway wood (24°), four irons (5, 7, 9, sand wedge), a Craz-E-style putter (30-inch length) and lightweight carry bag. The driver, fairway wood and irons include lightweight graphite shafts and junior size grips.

"The titanium driver really sets these clubs apart," added Solheim. "At 325ccs, with a graphite shaft and 15° loft, it's ideally suited to match the strength and swing speed of young golfers. The large head and high loft give it unmatched forgiveness to help juniors hit the ball high, long and straight.

"Moxie irons are engineered with the perimeter weighting principles found in all PING clubs. They’re very forgiving and provide a solid feel. Plus, their lighter overall weight makes them easy to swing. And the success of our Craz-E line made it a natural choice to offer to young players as well."

The club lengths and weights are designed to fit junior golfers at heights from 4-foot-3 to 4-foot-11.

The nylon carry bag features a bag stand, double-strap, three pockets, a mesh-enclosed pouch and rain hood. It weighs approximately 3.4 pounds and stands 29 inches tall.

Shipping for the pre-boxed set begins March 15. U.S. MSRP is $235. Available right- or left-handed.
