  You won't go far wrong with the Raptures. Then dump the hybrid and have 3 nicely spaced satin wedges and you'll be playing like a pro.

  definitely get R11 driver and 3 wood; z satin 56, 60 and 64 wedges

  you can "choke down" on the 3 wood to take 15-20 yards off (hybrid distance)

  lots of people go with raptures; G10s did me well, and you can upgrade them at lvl 59 for master tees. they have a faster meter, but you might as well get used to it 

  I swore by the Tour SD with those clubs; good distance and spin, 65 credits = 1 sleeve / wk from videos, 7-8 18-hole rounds

  if finances are important consider whole sets.  i did the big raptures with the gs13 balls.  slow meter, fair distance, good accuracy when dinged, and some spin control.  used them up until master, then upgraded again.  hope it helps. my nickle.

  Some advice here will be good, but a word of caution.

  Try to get clubs with similar meter speeds as going from 1 extream to the other will lead to inconsistancy. The key to your moving up now is the ability to avoid bogey or worse.

  3 wedges is a smart play and I agree  dump the hybrid. you will use the 3 wedges way more often.

   

  If you go with the rapture pro;s which are a good set for your level, your 3 wedges will be a quicker meter. That cant be avoided, but it's very good advice.
