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

If you think that there is something wrong with it, please say so.

Thank you.
Hey ryan N, I actually am a 12 handicap. I practice almost everyday for 5-6 hours and get some lessons along the way. You obviously don’t know what hard work brings.
Hey BRENT F, I earned those clubs, my parents didn’t spend a cent. . I caddied, and cleaned clubs at my course for years. I also work at a local Golfsmith. And yes, those clubs are custom fitted to my swing and body measurements.
Hey fat_albert_999, If you do some research, or know anything about golf, you will know that a 3-iron is 19 degrees loft and so is a 5-wood.

I earned these clubs by caddying and cleaning clubs at my home course for years. I also work at a local Golfsmith during the summer and after school.
Oh yeah, they are custom fitted to my swing and my body measurements.
I’ve only been playing golf for 8 months. I practice for about 6 hours each day and don’t take lessons.
