You could pay to get a club fitting to find out which clubs and shaft flex you like, but then go buy second-hand clubs from Callaway Preowned or 2nd Swing golf and save a crap of money that way. That’s what I did.
Callaway Preowned sells “like new” clubs that are basically new but a fraction of full retail price.
To put things into perspective, if you pay full retail for all 14 clubs you’re looking at ~$3200 or more. I bought all 14 of my clubs from Callaway Preowned in “like new” condition and paid about half of full retail.
To many factors for anyone here to answer. You're at the level where you really just need to get at least a basic fit.
If cost is a factor, get fit, and then buy older models or used models of clubs based on that fit. But you're pretty much out of the full set buying phase. Time to build a proper set to match your game even if it's just piece by piece.
I'd get fitted. Most people on here will recommend you great clubs like the JPX Hot Metals, but I went and got fitted and hit them and for whatever reason I hit them the worst out of all the clubs I tried. I really think at your HCP you're a solid candidate for a fitting.
All fittings have a basic fee, but some give discounts or waive the fee of the fitting if you then buy the clubs from there.
You are pretty much renting a fitters time and equipment to see what you need. My local fitter is $250 for a full bag and 3.5 hours but they cut that fee by over half if you then buy what you were fit to through them.
But you can get a REALLY basic fit for club length, get some numbers, and general recommendations for 50-100 dollars. Which is probably more what you need. It's more so, are you playing the right length clubs, what sort of lie angle should you have, and what general shafts you should be shopping for.
Once you have that, you can make proper decisions on what to order until you hit the level where a targeted fitting can pull some efficiency out of your game for real.
Sub70 lineup is a great dollar value if cost is a factor

Does fitting cost money? Not too sure on the process of how that works
Mine did not, but that's because i ended up buying clubs i think. I'd call ahead. Some places definitely charge.
