Almost all wedges (Pitching, Gap And Sand) have some offset where the hosel (neck) of the club is forward of the leading edge of the club face. The amount of offset depends on the manufacturer and the model of wedge. It can range from as high as 5mm down to as little as 1mm or 2mm. The XDS "No Shank" Wedges have the hosel away from the leading edge of the face by -11mm (the difference is 16mm which is a huge amount). This is known as "onset" which helps prevent the chance of hitting the dreaded "shank."
The obvious solution for shanking is to correct your golf swing, however some golfers simply don't have the time to get instruction or to practice a better hitting position.
For this type of player, the easiest solution is the XDS "No Shank" Hybrid Wedges. This positions the neck away from the face making it virtually impossible to shank the ball (see image below).
One other feature of the XDS "No Shank" Hybrid Wedge is the railed sole which has a very high concentration of weight to make getting the ball airborne a snap. Plus the rails help minimize surface contact with the ground.
