Ping Junior Prodi G Voss Putter: Sizing and Buying Guide for Young Golfers

By Miles Sinclair

Updated November 2026

A ping junior prodi g voss putter is a small, youth-sized putter in the Ping Prodigy junior line, and choosing one comes down to three things: length, lie angle and grip size. This guide walks you through checking each one so your child can stand naturally, see the target and make a smooth stroke. You will also learn the signs that a putter has stopped fitting.

Step 1: Measure Your Child for Length

Start with height, but do not stop there. Have your child stand in their normal golf posture with arms hanging relaxed, then measure from the floor to the crease of the wrist. That wrist height is a better guide to putter length than age alone, because two children of the same age can differ by several inches in arm length.

Check the length the manufacturer lists for the model you are considering, and compare it to your measurement. A putter that is too long forces your child to stand too upright and hover over the ball. One that is too short makes them hunch, which tightens the shoulders and pulls the putter off line.

Step 2: Check the Lie Angle at Address

Lie angle is the angle between the shaft and the ground when the putter sits flat. Set your child in their stance with the putter sole on the carpet. The heel and toe should both touch evenly. If the toe lifts, the lie is too flat. If the heel lifts, the lie is too upright.

A correct lie lets the child keep the putter square through the stroke without twisting their wrists. Watch a few practice strokes from behind. If the putter face drifts open or closed on every stroke, the lie is usually the cause.

Step 3: Confirm the Grip Size Works for Small Hands

Ask your child to hold the grip with a normal putting grip, fingers and palms relaxed, and see whether they can wrap their fingers fully without strain. If their fingertips press into the palm or they cannot close their hand comfortably, the grip is too thick. Very thin grips can cause a tight, squeezing hold, so look for a balance.

Quick Fit Checklist

Measure wrist height in your child’s posture.
Compare that measurement with the manufacturer’s listed putter length.
Set the putter on the floor and confirm heel and toe touch evenly.
Have your child hold a relaxed putting grip and check finger wrap.
Watch five practice strokes from the side and from behind.

When to Upgrade or Adjust

Kids grow quickly, so re-check fit every six months or so, and sooner if your child starts growing faster than usual. Signs of a poor fit include bent posture, awkward wrist angles, inconsistent face alignment and frequent complaints about comfort. Some owners find that a shaft or grip change can extend a putter’s useful life, but a full upgrade is often the better long-term choice once the length is clearly too short. Ask a qualified club fitter or a golf professional if you are unsure, especially before making a significant purchase.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Buying a putter a size up so the child will “grow into it.”
Judging length by age alone instead of measuring wrist height.
Ignoring lie angle because the putter looks fine on the shelf.
Letting a child use an adult grip that forces a tight hold.
Skipping a fit check after a growth spurt.

Recommended Gear

A simple measuring tape and a flat, level surface such as a carpeted floor are the only tools you need for most fit checks. A child-sized practice putting mat helps your child build a consistent stroke and makes it easier to see whether the putter is tracking square. View on Amazon

A few spare youth-sized grips are useful if your child’s hand size changes between seasons, since swapping a grip is often easier than replacing the whole putter. View on Amazon

FAQ

How do I know if a ping junior prodi g voss putter is the right length?

Measure your child’s wrist height while they stand in their normal posture and compare it with the length listed by the manufacturer. The putter should let them stand tall enough to see the ball without hunching.

Can I adjust the lie angle on a junior putter?

Some clubs can be adjusted by a professional club fitter, but many youth putters are not designed for easy changes. Ask a golf professional whether an adjustment is possible before attempting it yourself.

How often should I re-check my child’s putter fit?

Check fit about every six months, and sooner if your child is growing quickly. Watch for changes in posture or stroke consistency as the first warning signs.

Conclusion

A well-fitted putter makes practice more enjoyable and helps your child build a repeatable stroke. Measure wrist height, confirm the lie angle and check grip comfort before you buy. Recheck fit regularly so the putter keeps up with your child’s growth.
