GIFT GUIDE
Callaway Rogue driver
TECHIE TREAT
T
his stylish, aerodynamic driver is a me-
chanical dad's dream. It features Call-
away's Jailbreak Technology with new,
hourglass-shaped titanium bars that are 25
percent lighter, but also stiffen the crown
and sole. The stiffer body maximizes faster
ball speed across the face, creating what
Callaway calls "The Jailbreak Effect,"
which promotes a noticeable boost in ball
speed and distance. Callaway worked with
aerospace leader Boeing in some of the
technology, and dad will feel like he's
wielding a space-age weapon for sure.

TaylorMade M4 driver
MMMM GOOD
A
nother high-tech club offering im-
proved feel and performance, the M4
driver from TaylorMade incorporates at-
tributes such as a twist face designed to
reduce the ill effects of off-center hits as
well as make good shots go straighter and
farther. It also features a hammerhead
slot – which increases the sweet spot and
improves distance and ball speed on low-
hit shots – and a "geocoustic" shape,
which translates into a solid, explosive
sound as well as a larger, more forgiving
face.

PING G400 Max driver
CRUSHING CAPACITY
A
n upgrade of the popular G400 driver,
the G400 Max features the highest
MOI of any PING driver due to its extreme
tungsten weighting and a higher-density
backweight. That allows the 460cc-de-
signed club head to produce hotter ball
speeds across the entire face as well as
more distance. The club looks different,
with a deep profile and thin crown, but
what dad will truly be amazed with is the
feel and the deeper, more muted sound,
when he crushes a ball off the tee.

Odyssey O-Works putters
O SO WONDERFUL
I
f dad is a savvy golfer, he knows scoring
is all about how you manage the greens,
and there are few putter lines that can
match the performance of Odyssey's O-
Works. Odyssey has created a Microhinge
Insert Technology that results in increased
topspin and improved roll regardless of
dad's stroke. The Microhinge plate is co-
molded with the company's Thermoplas-
tic Elastomer Feel Layer, which sounds
high-tech and is, but which, practically
speaking, means a superb feel and better
roll at impact.
