Yukon Anti-Slice Irons
October 2, 2008
There’s nothing mysterious about a slice. It’s simply a matter of leaving the clubface open at impact.
Karsten Solheim, founder of Ping, realized that back in the 1960s, and designed club with “increased offset”—moving the clubface back from the hosel. Because the clubface lags, it gives the player a little more time to close the face as it moves through the striking zone.
The Yukon Anti-Slice irons take advantage of that principle by offering a healthy 6.5 mm of offset in the longer irons, gradually reduced through the set until you reach the sand wedge with just 3.5 mm of offset.

6.5mm is about a quarter of an inch, which is about the same as most company’s game-improvement irons. Some TaylorMade irons have 6.5 mm of offset, and Callaway’s FT-Ibrid irons have even more (though their site won’t tell you that).
And you know what? People will still slice ‘em.
