In one week the THP Championship with begin, with that it is time to make some final decisions related to what is going to make it in to the bag. I have 3 rounds and 1 long range session scheduled before I fly out on Thursday. I would get some thoughts from the community, and hold a discussion with other Championship participants that might have some bag make up decisions going down to the wire.
THP Championship- Bag Battles (JDax)
Callaway Rogue 4 Hybrid v. Callaway X-Forged UT 21 Degree
What looked like an easy decision a month ago has become a tough decision, this is for the 205-195 yard spot in the bag. I trust making good contact with the Hybrid more, however the distance control is the key issue, I know what I will get from a good swing with the UT. The Rogue 4 Hybrid has been know to jump out hot and carry further than expected causing gap issues. The UT tends to be fools gold, as I can stripe it on the range, but not always on the course. I like the ball flight of the UT more off the tee, and I can trust the yardage, but overall trust the 4 Hybrid more.

Callaway MD4 (54-S Grind & 58 C-Grind) v. Cleveland RTX-4 (54- Mid & 58- Low)
I just got the Cleveland wedges, and they have only been in the bag for one round, there is a lot to like about them. I like the 58- Low a lot, early results with the 54-Mid have been less than stellar. They are a lot heavier than the MD4, and will take a lot of work to get used to, do I have the time to do that before it's showtime? This is the classic new and shinny v. tried and true. This will go down to the wire as I plan on gaming the RTX-4s this weekend, but the smart play is probably to put the MD4s in the bag for the Championship and deal with wedge switch when I return.

Toulon Garage Columbus (Long Slant Neck) v. Toulon Atlanta (Slant Neck)
I thought that this one was settled with a hot run from the Columbus over the summer, but 4 straight rounds of 34+ putts have left some doubt. I like lag putting with the Columbus better, but have more confidence in shorter putts with the Atlanta. I'm putting the Columbus on the shelf this weekend and giving the Atlanta one last look. Both putters will probably make the trip, which one gets the start will probably go right up until it is time to drive to the course.

I would love to hear y'alls thoughts....
