Yukon Anti-Slice Driver
Golfers slice balls because they can’t get the clubface back to square at impact. It’s really no more complicated than that.
So the Yukon Anti-Slice Driver incorporates two technologies intended to help you get things back to square.
First, it has five millimeters of offset. That means that the leading edge of the clubface is 5mm behind the leading edge of the hosel. What this does is to allow the golfer a fraction of a second more to square the face before impact.
The other bit of helpful tech is that the face is one degree closed. That also will help you get the face closed in time.
It also come sin inly 10.5 and 12 degree lofts. Higher lofts equal more backspin, which equal straighter shots.
The only other trick you could pull with this club is to cut it an inch or so shorter. A shorter club also will be easier to square. That’s why you slice your driver, but not your pitching wedge.

A minor quibble-
Shortening the driver wouldn’t help much with slicing, although it would be easier to to make more consistant contact. If the club-face is open, or closed, during impact, you get side-spin. A driver, having little loft, contacts the ball nearer it’s equator, magnifying the effect, as does the higher club-head speed.
A wedge on the other hand, has much less club-head speed, and because of its greater loft contacts the ball further down, which lessens side-spin and increases back-spin. Unless you skull it of course, which means you have other problems!

That’s all true. But it’s also true that shorter clubs are easier to keep on plane, and easier to square, so they should be less prone to slicing.
