Hi. Right now I have only 13 clubs and I can have 14 I think. I dont really have any gaps because I start witha 14* driver than a 17* 4 wood. Should I get a 64 wedge? In don't realy need one but what should I get do you think?

First off, trash the signature.

Secondly, if you don't really have any gaps, then you don't really need another club. But maybe you could (if you wanted) to add a three wood to play off short holes, or go for par 5's.

There arent any gaps as far as I see. So maybe get a (strong) 3 wood to hit something long off the deck, or a driver with 10° or something, if you can handle that.

Well looking at your current clubs, I definitely would not get a strong 3 Wood. That would be the same degree as your driver, close to your 4W and harder to hit than either.
How do you hit your 60* wedge? If you hit it good and want more bite or loft a 64* or 65* might help. On the other hand it might just confuse you.
I do like the idea of the other poster of a lesser lofted driver but that depends on how well you hit the current one and what your trajectory is. I carry both a 9* and 14*. The 14* is in place of my 3W which I never hit well off the mat.
While nearly universally despised on this and other forums, and in my opinion a waste, a chipper might actually be a good club for you. Personally, I just use my 8I for this but used one when I got started and liked it.
Before changing anything ask yourself this? What do I most want to improve about my game?

Yeah, I can't reely hit a low loft drive good. Or 3 wood.

You don't need anything else. Just play with 13.

You do not have to use 14 clubs, and having only 13 will make you bag lighter. Stay with what you have if you find somewhere that is lacking, then do something about it.

When you start gaining more clubhead speed you may start to see some yardage gaps creep in. I would not base your gaps on the lofts of your clubs, I would base the gaps on the actual yardage you hit each club. Until you can hit your driver over 250 in the air i would not worry about it. At your age the fewer clubs wont hurt you, in fact having too many wedges may become more confusing than anything. Get really good at using the ones you have.

exactly. leave everything as it is, as long as your happy with what you have. eventually you can switch to a lower lofted driver and you'll have room for a 3 wood.

I would change my wedges to 50-53-56-60. I am similar to you with many wedges and I keep 48-52-56-62. You can get your yardages a little closer but a 64 after a 60 is not worth the add. IMO

That's a good idea if you HAVE to have a 14th club. But you don't really need one at all.

Maybe you should get a 15* 3-wood to hit off the ground, sometimes.

8 years old and 8.3 handicap leave the bag be you are set until you age and begin to see the yardage gaps appear and congrats that is quite an achievement at your age I wish my son had that determination.
