FUTURE PRO JUNIOR SET
Future Pro Junior Driver
- The Future Pro stainless steel driver offers a high quality and more durable alternative to cheap aluminum junior heads at a “parent friendly”, economical price.
- The Future Pro driver is designed with Wishon’s hosel weight bore to allow proper weight fitting for juniors.
- Designed primarily for junior players, ages 6 to 11, with increased loft (15°) to better match to the slower swing speeds of young junior golfers.
Future Pro Junior Fairway Woods
- The Future Pro stainless steel fairway woods also offer a quality alternative to cheap aluminum woodheads at a “parent friendly”, economical price.
- The Future Pro fairway woods are also designed with Wishon’s hosel weight bore to allow proper weight fitting.
- Designed primarily for junior players, ages 6 to 11, with increased loft (#3-wood 20°, #5-wood 25°) to truly help young juniors more easily get the ball up to fly off the fairway
Future Pro Junior Irons
- The Future Pro stainless steel ironheads also offer a quality alternative to cheap zinc ironheads at a “parent friendly”, economical price.
- Mirror polish, stainless steel ironheads available in #5 (32° loft), #7 (40°), #9 (48°), DW (Dual Wedge 54°) to also help young players more easily get the ball well up to fly.
- Future Pro iron lie angles are also designed flatter to better fit juniors. However, because the Future Pro irons are made from stainless steel, they can easily be bent for lie or loft fitting as needed.
Future Pro Junior Putter
- Classic heel and toe weighted putter design for juniors.
Future Pro Junior Shafts
-
Future Pro Steel and Graphite Shafts allow Clubmakers to be able to offer parents an option as well as create a wider range for shaft fitting and price consideration to the parents.
-
Future pro graphite shafts are very affordably priced to encourage parents to use the proper lighter weight shafts for the younger junior players.
-
Wishon has specifically designed the Future Pro shafts to be the right flexibility for junior players, Ages 6 to 11. We recommend graphite Future Pro shafts for younger juniors, steel Future Pro shafts for the little older kids as they get stronger.

Hi Tom, I’m trying to fit an 11 year-old junior with a club set – while trying to plan on adapting same club set during growth spurts. I know you’ve discontinued this product line, but do you have any advice on iron club heads in current product line that might work. The 6/7 & 8/9 hybrids in 730CL are not viable in this build. Maybe 5i, 7i, 9i, GW in 989CLA product line and using cut down S2S Blue shafts, undersize grips, etc. I’m also considering EQ1 product line for fairway woods and hybrids, depending on budget constraints. Obviously, my… Read more »
BILL I am so sorry that we lost the ability to stock and offer the Future Pro components for juniors. This was not a matter of us discontinuing it as much as it was a case that the foundry went out of business due to the effects of covid on their ability to stay open and keep money coming in. And with all the many new models I designed to introduce into the line, that meant starting a brand new jr model with all new tooling die and inventory costs was just not in the cards. I am in hope… Read more »
Thank you Tom for your most valuable technical data.
My daughter is only 6 and 7 months but she has been gaining power over the last half a year.
In order to overcome the problems related to the weight of the head clubs you exposed, I would suggest create a momentum at the level of the hosel that might give more impulse transmitted to the ball at the impact moment. The tee height may be drastically reduced down to the ground level.
Please let me have your views about this special feature.
Sincerely and gratefully for your kind reply
Bogdan
Bogdan For one, having any moving parts on a golf club is not allowed under the rules of golf. This rule was enacted many years ago when a few companies tried to make clubheads with a cylinder inside the head that was installed in a direction from back to front, then filled with mercury. The thought was that on the downswing coming into impact the mercury would move toward the face, adding a form of momentum and energy to the shot. It didn’t work for one because only one type of perfectly timed swing would enable the mercury to reach… Read more »
How much weight did you remove? And how? I built a couple irons with these components for my daughter that are a bit too heavy. Your insight is appreciated!
Cheers.
JOHN For my grandson who needed much lighter weight jr heads when he began to start learning the basics, I could only really remove weight from the irons because the driver and woods being hollow body construction, have quite thin body walls that cannot withstand much metal removal. On the irons I ground the entire outer back inward with my contact wheel large belt sanding machine as well as ground the sole. Removing 20g is not that easy to do but is possible without altering the size and shape of the head. But it does require a decent size belt… Read more »
Flexible hosel and more consistent (stiffer) shafts are to be considered for juniors?
Mr Ionescu The Future Pro junior shafts are definitely flexible in their design but they are manufactured with a pretty long parallel tip section so they can be additionally tip trimmed quite a lot to stiffen up the shafts. The Future Pro shafts are primarily designed for juniors from 6 or so up to around 10-11 with their normal to slightly increased tip trimming instructions. If the junior player does have a considerably higher clubhead speed, it is totally OK to use L or A or even R flex shafts in the Future Pro clubheads because all the FP heads… Read more »
Thank you Tom for the additional data provided.
Please also find enclosed a video showing my 6 year old daughter during
Could the impact force be enhanced in such little players as well, by enhancing the flexibility of the hosel itself shortly before, during and shortly after the impact in order to concentrate so to say the elastic forces near the tip or to the club head?
Please let us know if such fitting purposes could potentially taken into consideration. Specially in the beginnings.
Best regards from Mallorca, Spain
Bogdan
BOGDAN If it were possible to construct a clubhead with a flexible hosel, it would not do anything to help the impact with the ball. In fact, something like that could make it a lot more difficult to hit a shot with control and accuracy. This is because if the hosel were flexible enough to bend forward on the downswing coming into impact, the fact that the center of gravity of the clubhead is not in line with the shaft and hosel could mean that the face of the head could arrive at impact pointing more to the left to… Read more »
Thank you Tom again for the acknowledgment. We found these technical data extremely useful for the further development. An articulated hosel with a variable degree of stiffness or a customizable angle would probably not improve the accuracy at the impact neither. Thank you again, very much indeed
I am trying to use some junior pro graphite shafts. Anyone know the tipping instructions and how long the parallel sections are?
Hi Kyle,
You can find the tipping instructions for the Junior shafts here:
https://wishongolf.com/junior-fitting-information/
Best wishes,
Ash
Hi Ash, I can’t find any trimming chart on that page.
Hi Art,
My apologies and thank you for flagging this – the trimming instructions have now been added to the page.
Best wishes,
Ash
Does Diamond golf sale the junior heads and shafts? I was On their website and did not see them?
CAL
Yes, they do still offer the Future Pro components. Driver (15*), 3w (20*), 5w (25*) and #5, 7, 9, Dual Wedge plus putter. Both the jr steel and Future Pro graphite shafts are available as well as the Future Pro regular and putter grips. I had no idea they are not on the website so I will contact them after this to have them look into that. Thanks for letting us know, and best wishes to that junior player who may be the beneficiary of your clubmaking!!!

Trimming recommandations for Future Pro shafts ?
Oliver,
Please see this page for Junior Fitting Information.
Thanks!

I recently learned about Tom Wishon and the amazing club designs he has brought to our wonderful game. Over the last few months I have acquired a set of 575 mmc irons 3-PW, a 919 THI Driver, a 929 3 Wood, a Cavity Black 3 Putter, a 52 degree PCF Wedge, and a 56 degree PCF wedge. These clubs are so well designed and perform so well that I purchased a set of Wishon Future Pro Jr clubs for my 2 year old son. The set make up is Driver, 5, 7, 9, and putter. His current set up is… Read more »
BILL Thank you, thank you very much for your kind words about my work. I appreciate that very much and I am pleased to hear that you somehow found us and became interested enought to invest in a set of my models. And I am extremely pleased that they were fit and built right so you have had the chance to enjoy the performance and have more fun in this great game. Since I assume you bought the Future Pro junior clubs as finished clubs from somewhere and you did not assemble them yourself, I would think you could contact… Read more »
Couldn’t find it online…what shaft does the Junior putter take? Does the junior iron shaft work for it?
Thanks!
Austin
Yes, the jr iron or graphite shafts will work with the Future Pro putter – or for a putter where flex really is of no matter, any 0.370″ parallel tip shaft will be fine. You just have to watch out for the butt diameter vs whatever grip you plan to use for the junior player. Both FP iron shafts are made with a 0.500″ butt so they match the core size of the future Pro Jr putter grip.
TOM
Hi Tom,
How many degrees can I bend the lie and loft angle of the irons?
DANTE
If you have good experience in bending 431 cast stainless steel, you could get 3* pretty easy, possibly 4 from the Future Pro junior irons. Without a ton of experience it is best to keep the bend at 2* for the max.
TOM
Tom,
Thanks for the words of wisdom, I will take your feedback to heart as I move forward. I will send Mary Ellen an email this morning and look forward to offering your Future Pro line to my potential juniors.
Regards Jerome Alba
Happy to help, always. Thanks for your interest,
TOM
Tom, Im begining to see an needed niche in my area for junior clubs so in doing some researh on components Im running into some confusion. 1: Regarding the different weights for junior components: example your future pro 7 iron is 40* loft and 262 grams vs 34* 250 grams vs 37* 167 grams from other sites. which is correct? 2: The varing suggested lengths these clubs should be: example future pro Driver 37 to 38″ long for 54″ tall boy, other sites 36″ long. I know there are lots of variables involved as my son just played in his… Read more »
JEROME Good for you that you are thinking about doing more work with juniors. There is nothing better than encouraging kids to get into this great game and you are to be patted on the back for helping to provide the kids with proper equipment to help their entry into the game. To answer your questions in order: 1. I designed the Future Pro clubheads in 2003 for the first year of our company. The lofts I chose back then pretty much reflected what the trends were in loft for jr clubhead designs. Since then the rest of the industry… Read more »
Hi Tom, I am looking for a set of Junior irons for my 9 year old (soon to be 10 in February). He is 80lbs and strong as an ox and started playing in Junior Tournaments only yesterday. I have him in an old set of cut down ladies clubs, Driver, 4 wood, 7 iron and a SW (old John Letters blade, which was part of a set I played with originally) and a putter. He was way behind the other boys in the threesome because the clubs at that age do make a difference but the old clubs he… Read more »
BARRY: Thanks very much for your post and for your desire to help your son get into equipment that can help his development in the game as he grows. Also for your interest to set up a Junior program to help other kids get the right start in the game. While so much of the attention is focused on our designs and fitting research for adult golfers, right from Day One of the company I did want to do what I could to help in the way of good custom fit equipment for juniors. That’s why we made the effort… Read more »
My junior is a lefty….. Any love for him
I am very sorry we have not been able to offer the Future Pro junior components in left hand. The tooling die costs for a junior set are the same as for any other head model. Unfortunately the demand for left hand junior components is simply not enough for a small, specialty design company as ours to be able to invest in the tooling to be able to produce the heads. I will say if your junior is getting close to 5′ tall, the left hand model 979SS irons combined with the 925HL left hand fairway woods would work fine… Read more »
Hello, i am a pga pro in massachusetts and am teaching an increasing number of juniors. Could you send me information on junior clubs… pricing on individual clubs / sets and any fitting information?
Thank you,
Joe Rocha
JOE Thanks very much for your interest. I asked Jamie Heirtzler from our company to contact you to let you know what we can do to help you with your junior program. We have done this for several pros who are dedicated to helping the kids and they all have been happy. One of the things that makes our Future Pro jr clubs very good is the fact the heads are all stainless steel, not the cheaper aluminum and zinc you see on all the low priced jr sets. ANd since we are into helping kids in the game, we… Read more »
