Do you think that I have a good golf set?

I’m 14 years old with about a 12-13 handicap. I have been playing for only around six months. I am going to try out for the Freshman golf team at my school so I want to know if my clubs are up to par.

Driver: Taylormade r7 460 w/Grafalloy ProLaunch Blue 45 gram shaft, reg. flex.

3 and 5 woods: Taylormade r7 titanium w/Grafalloy Prolaunch Blue 55 gram shafts, reg. flex.

4 and 5 Hybrids: Callaway X-Hybrid w/Grafalloy ProLaunch Hybrid shafts, reg. flex.

6-7 irons: Callaway Big Bertha Fusion Wide Sole Irons w/Grafalloy ProLaunch Iron shafts, reg. flex.

8-PW: Callaway Big Bertha Fusion Irons w/Grafalloy ProLaunch Iron shafts, reg. flex.

51, 56, 61 degree Wedges: Taylormade Rac Black TP w/True Temper GS 75 Wedge Shaft (lightest steel shaft on market, 75 grams.)

Putter: Odyssey Tri-Ball SRT Putter, 34 inches.

Ball: Callaway HX Tour 56

Thank you.
Driver is 10.5 degrees loft.

If you think something is wrong, say so.
Hey Ohio_Golfer34, you’re right about the hard work. I caddied, and cleaned clubs at my course for years. I also work at a local Golfsmith.
Hey bleu_devil6, My family is not rich at all, like i said to ohiogolfer, they’re a result of my years of hard work.

My handicap has dropped 6-8 stokes almost overnite? why?

Just changed from the Ping I-3+ irons black dot wit stiff flex irons to the Callaway X-20 tour irons with project-x rifle shafts-stiff flex. got the X-tour wedges 54 and 58 deg. change from the Taylormade nubbins putter to the Odssey-xg blade putter, changed from the titlest 983k 9.5 deg driver to the Callaway FT-5, 9 deg. and kept my taylormade V-steel 3 and 5 woods.

My handicap was 11.8 usga. I have shot the last four rounds of golf with this whole new club set with average score of 76-78 with my last round at 73. whats going on? Its great but weird!
