About the YAO

YAO: Yikun’s overstable mid-range driver

The Yikun YAO is an overstable throwing putter / mid-range driver. If you like the Pig or the Zone, but you want to try a little something different, the YAO is good alternative. Great for windy conditions.

Flies like…

How much the YAO turns and fades depends on how hard it is thrown. These three shapes are drawn from the manufacturer’s numbers, not from measured throws.

BeginnerUnder 300 ft drive
Intermediate300-400 ft drive
AdvancedOver 400 ft drive
