How do I hit longer golf drives? (Swing and equipment)?

I’m 5′4″ medium weight female in mid 20s. On my good drives I get that ‘lift’ and carry about 185yrds. Most drives though go higher and shorter. Alot of it is probably my swing– what can I do to get that ‘lifting’ flight on every drive? My driver is Ping 13.5* with 6.0 torque shaft. The ping fitting on the website recommended this setup. But should I be using a lower lofted driver? My cobra sz 20* (5.0 torque) wood carries 175 so I feel like the drives should carry 200yds. Thanks.

I am still in the early phases of my golf career (broke 100 twice). Should I dish out some of my own money for a nice driver? Buy a fairway wood? Buy a wedge? Buy a putter? All of my equipment is ok. I bought used equipment about a year ago that is name brand and previously highly rated. Chipping and putting are my biggest weakness but I have not practiced either too much. My game is not very long. Even when hitting well I am typically chipping for par.

Any ideas?
