A few notes start with:
-Your driver is probably the Hyper X
-Your Warrior SW is probably the same loft as that MG3 wedge so toss that poo poo in the trash
-Everything except for your irons and wedge can stand to be replaced.

If you're starting to play golf more seriously and want to upgrade, I always advise buying used if you know your specs or close enough to them. Clubs that are a couple generations old generally perform as well as newer models.

Your M4 irons/wedges and the MG3 wedge are pretty much the only thing worth keeping from your bag. A new putter probably isn't going to improve your game that much unless you just really hate yours or it's really poorly fit. There are a ton of used putters $50-100 that you would be happy with.

Stats show that the largest improvement to your scores comes from driving the ball better (straight and longer), so that's what I would recommend, especially considering what you currently have. I would look at used versions of the 2019-2020 models. The Callaway Mavrik Max, Cobra King SpeedZone Extreme, Titleist TS2, and TaylorMade SIM Max are all previous generation models that will perform well and can be found for $150-200.

Yeah pretty much everything except the M4s and the MG3 can be replaced. My coach today suggested either a new putter, a new driver or a fairway wood with the money. I'm torn between replacing something I have, or getting something I don't (i.e. 4 rescue).

You will use your driver 14 times each round. You won’t use a 4 rescue nearly as much. Get a driver.

Callaway preowned generally has good deals on their recent-but-not-brand-new lines, you can probably get a like new Mavrik driver for around $200 or Epic for like $250, depending on their inventory and which sales they're running on a particular week

Well I'll use a putter 30+ times each round, but I see your point. I'll look into a new driver. New Mavrik's are $299 vs. $205 for 'like new' pre-owned

Which is why I support getting a putter you like, but also I don’t think you should overpay for one if you’re still building out your set.

Callaway “like new” is really solid. $200 is a good value.

Well gently caress, that one is gone now. I'll keep looking
