Golf ball selection depends on a number of things. If you want a soft feel and more spin on your shot, you should go with a ball like pro v 1. If you are looking for less spin and more distance, you should get a harder driving ball like most pinnacles. There are also the balls that try to blend these two aspects together like NXT's. They give a good feel off the tee and to the green.

Basically you should decide how much you want to spend. If you are a beginner, don't waste your money on expensive golf balls because you wont be able to tell a difference. If you are a more skilled golfer and dont mind dropping a few bucks, go with the better balls like pro v's or nike one. For more detail check out the link below.

Choosing which golf club to use on the golf course can be very complicated. The club chosen on a given shot may be picked for many different physical or strategic reasons. Club performance varies from player to player and the proper selection for one golfer will not necessarily be a good choice for another. Below are the primary deciding factors for choosing what club to hit on the golf course.

Distance

First and foremost, golfers will chose a golf club based on the distance they need or want the golf ball to travel on the current shot. The golfer must know, or at least have a good general idea of how far he/she hits a particular club. The golfer will fine tune the average yardage attained per club over time.

For instance, an average male golfer may hit a 7-iron 150 yards. On the course the golfer will choose to hit his 7-iron when he is 150 yards from the target or the green.

Conditions

Existing conditions may factor into the club choice above. If the player his hitting into a strong wind which will shorten the shot, a 7-iron will not be strong enough to travel the normal distance. A stronger club will be needed to counteract the wind resistance. Perhaps the golfer may choose a 5-iron. In that case the golfer has estimated that the wind is a �two club wind.� This means that the wind is strong enough to require two more clubs when hitting directly into it.
Conversely, that same 7-iron may travel two clubs farther when a �two club� tailwind is behind the golfer. In that case, the golfer would choose a 9-iron which would hopefully travel the distance of a 7-iron when aided by the wind.

Strategy

In golf strategy plays a big part of what club is chosen in a particular situation. While a golfer may know that he/she is a 7-iron distance from the green, there may be more to the selection than picking a club which should travel the exact distance to the target. Sand traps or hazards which must be avoided may influence the player�s strategy.

A player who is hitting over a large body of water may choose strategically to hit a club which is stronger than the minimum distance needed, to insure that even a slightly mis-hit shot avoids the hazard.

Strategically, a golfer may choose not to hit a driver or a club which might get him/her into trouble on holes which have doglegs (curves). The driver may be too much club and travel through the corner into a hazardous area, or into trees. In this case, the right club is the one which takes bad situations out of play.

Situation

Certain situations may call for a club which launches the ball at a particular angle. For instance, a player who is behind a tall bush may have to choose a club which gets the ball up high very quickly, despite the yardage to the target.

Another situation such as the player being behind a tree may require the player to hit a very low lofted club to keep the ball below the tree.

Ability

Finally, the golfer must pick a club which he/she can properly swing and execute shots with.
Picking a 3-iron out of deep rough for instance, is not a shot a regular amateur golfer could likely execute and is therefore not a good club to choose.
