We have all heard the phrase, “What do you buy a man who already has everything?” Don’t worry, it is just a myth. Such a man does not exist. Do you know how people will sometimes feign modesty as a means of fishing for a compliment? It’s more or less the same approach when a man says you don’t need to get him a present because he already has everything he needs or wants. He’s lying. He’s basically throwing down the gauntlet to see if you are up to the challenge of getting him a really great gift.
Challenge accepted! Th ere is a seemingly endless list of gadgets and gizmos that appeal to men, and sometimes it can be daunting to try and figure out where to even begin looking. Fear not, for any man would love to have these.

Ping G Driver
Ping is always pushing the limits of technological developments in golf, as is the case with the emergence of “Dragonfly Technology” inspired by the dragonfly’s intricate wing pattern. Even though the G Driver has a taller and deeper face, it also has an ultrathin and lightweight crown, allowing more weight to be put lower and further back from the face in order to optimize spin and launch angles. Th e result is arguably one of the most forgiving, yet high performance, drivers on the market today.
