....I'll reply in about 3 days when I've gone over my last 178.5 rounds in my head to see if I've ever thinned a short pitch.

None of the above. You have a fairly well balanced set as it is.
Driver, no point running before you can walk.
Hybrid, which one, theres a lot of combinations, and in my mind is like admitting you cant hit the longer irons (I actually love mine)
Wedges, you already have a 48, 52 and 56. No need for anything else. They are well gapped and anything with a higher loft , see driver comments only they are more akin to running a marathon with hurdles compared to walking!
High handicappers and new golfers need to learn as soon as possible that if they "need" a 60 degree wedge, they need to wise up and use the 56 and bail out safely. Expectations that it is going to turn them into a precision golfer overnight are badly mistaken. I am not a bad recovery golfer and have a 58 degree wedge, I wouldnt use it even half of the times a higher handicapper would warrant pulling it out of the bag.
Lessons, lessons and more lessons (or a nice new bag, I am partial to nice looking golf bags

What he said - especially regarding the 60deg wedge, but then we've had that discussion before

I won a Benross Escape (or something similar, was reviewed in the mag a couple of months ago) at the Ascot meet and it's so easy to hit it should be illegal!
Not using it at the moment though because it doesn't really fit into my yardages at that end of the bag.
A quick vote for the TM Burner (09 version)

If you don't have nightmares, you're probably ok.
Me, I get sweaty palms just thinking about it.
So then I try to calm down and concentrate on the golf again

Hybrid seems the bets option to me...
Although I'm very happy with my sixty... You don't need it really... a good player leaves himself a full pitch into the green... I think you need to work on course mangaement instead of buying a new club...
Driver isn't needed as you can use 3 wood...
Hybrid helps with long shots from the fairway and gives an extra option from the tee...

Played today not the greatest I must say. However, short game is getting much better long games is awful. Made some tweaks to how I play my wedges most importantly moving ball position forward. Definitely don't need a lob at the moment it was my technique that was lacking. Can't hit my 3 wood consistently so definitely no driver yet so it's definitely a hybrid that's required possibly sooner than later to fill the gap between 3wood and 3iron.
Must get to the range this week!!!!
