Thanks

WIth the extra detail, I will suggest you get a little more loft for the driver. Your driver distance tells me a few things:
1. your swing speed isn't much over 100mph
2. you aren't making solid, centered contact
One way or the other, get the driver fitted. If you need more loft, you may need to get a new driver. If it just needs to be shortened (a common problem), That can be easily done. That's the problem with today's drivers... they're too d@mn long! Bubba Watson and Tiger Woods use 44.5" drivers; Dustin Johnson and JB Holmes use 45" drivers (the "off the shelf" average is 46"!). They're all big hitters, but they know a shorter driver is more controllable. They already have the swing speed to get the distance; they just want a little extra help with the accuracy. And if THEY know a 46" driver won't help their game, why are we conditioned to believe they'll help US?
I'll reiterate the other "issue" (if you can call it that) I have with your bag: the LW. You have even 5* gaps between the PW and GW, but an 8* gap between the GW and LW. While that isn't "ideal", if it works for you, then I'm good with it. I just want to know which one is your sand club. It doesn't matter if it's the 50* or 58*, it just has to have enough bounce (sole angle) to handle the type of bunkers you'll face. Fluffy sand = high bounce, firm sand = low bounce; if you're unsure, stick to the median (~12*).
Actually, I'm not overly concerned that the 3w and hybrid have a different shaft flex. There's no industry standard for that; companies are free to label whatever they want an "S", "R", or whatever. They don't even have standards within the same brand! That means, a company like Aldila is free to label the NV VooDoo and Habanero both "S" flex, even though they both register different numbers on a frequency machine! It's crazy, but it's true (I'm not picking on Aldila, though... all of the shaft companies do this. They were the first that sprang to mind). That's why I'm not concerned with that- even though they're different from the rest of the set, if they're working for you, you don't fix what isn't broke. If it isn't working, though, you may want to see a clubfitter about turning that around.
That's about it. It doesn't matter if you have a mixed bag, brand-wise... you play what YOU like to play, what YOU like to look at. It doesn't make you less of a "player" if you don't have a bag full of the same brand and a staff bag that matches. Play what makes YOU happy. Good luck this year!
