Upgrade?

I am 19 years old, I am 6'4" and about 230lbs. I currently am rocking a 500$ set of Dunlops, out of the box. I hit the driver around 220-260 carry.

My question is, with a D, 3W, 5W, H, 4-PW. in the bag, what do I need to upgrade? Do i need the GW, LW, SW? I'm looking at a Rife, as a putter is a must upgrade. Should I scratch the Dunlops all together? They are only 8 or so months old. Any advice would be great

If you like the feel of the clubs you got now keep them if you don't you can look around for new ones. All I can say is look around at golf stores in your area and demo, demo, demo to see whats right for you.

You definitely need a SW.

I see people (myself included) replacing the 3W/5W with a 4W. This gives you room to add a GW and another club (7W perhaps?)

If you hit the Dunlops well, and they feel good to you, then why switch?

The Rife lineup is superb, although I personally find them a bit heavy.

I'm close in age and in size, and as said before YOU NEED A SAND WEDGE! I couldn't imagine not having one. You can go with cleveland or titleist both are great wedges. I myself am looking for a new putter and rife is on the top of my list.
