  Are there any better drivers that give better distance ??

  You are going to eventually want the R-9 driver (level 68 I think?).  That driver will take you all the way up the tiers and can even hold it's own on legend tees.  Do NOT get the Super-Tri driver.  If you are playing every day, you can get to level 68 pretty quickly.  In the meantime, the driver you suggested will do fine......It's up to your own budget whether to wait or not.

  Any Clubs better than what I've given ??

  Yes, the Z Satin 64 degree wedge is probably the best club for the short game......at least until you are ready for Clevelands.  I reluctantly finally gave up my Z Satin for a Cleveland 64 degree, and it was a tough call.  That was the best club in my bag for a long time.

  So did I and went back to it. It's just too good up close.  :-)

  What do you think of the wedges ?? Should I pick up some of the Cleveland ones ?? Or are these fine ??

  You seem to have got good advice so far but I'll just add one thing.

  I wouldn't bother with the lower level Clevelands, the specs aren't any better then the Taylor Made Z wedges and they're a hell of a lot more expensive. The best ones cost even more but are (probably) better than anything elso out there so worth it.

  Also, by the time you wait 57 days you'll have levelled up a bit more and there will be better and more expensive gear available to you. Only you'll need more credits so will have to wait longer. By which time better.......

  Life's a *** sometimes  : )

  Like Heisman said, the Z Satin 64 degree wedge is a must, with a bit of practice you can nail anything inside 50 yards to within a few feet.

  With a 3 Wood go for 3 wedges with a good spread between them eg  Z Satin 50/77/100 yards should keep you going right till you can get the top Clevelands.

  Last thing, rent one of the woods before you buy it - without good balls the meter might be too fast. If it is ok go with the faster woods and irons, if not then the Rapture woods and irons may be a better choice. You can play them with the cheap / free balls without too much trouble.
