Golf Game Secrets

There are way too many balls to list them all, but some- from “Tour” level to two-piece performance:

Titleist Pro-V1
Nike One Tour D
Bridgestone e6+
Callaway HX Hot Plus
Maxfli Noodle
Wilson Staff 50

You can use whatever club you want for your second shot on a par 5. It’s based on what you’re comfortable and confident in to make as low a score as possible. Let’s say you have major confidence with your 6 iron (your 160 yard club) but your 280 from the green. It’s perfectly acceptable for you to use your PW (your 120-125 yard club) to get you to your “bread and butter” third shot. So the sequence would be Driver-PW-6 iron, with one or two putts. You don’t need to bomb every shot you face… use some strategy, and watch your scores drop.

There’s many different types of balls. There’s urethane cover ones like the Pro V1 and these are considered tour balls. Then there’s distance balls with just 2 layers and a harder cover (for more distance).
The answer to your second questions is: it depends. If it’s a long par 5 like the 16th at the WGC Bridgestone (660 yards) it’s hard for anyone to reach the green, only Cabrera and Quiros managed to reach it in two. On shorter par 5s long players might use up to a 5-6 irons. Usually shorter hitters have to hit fairway woods or hybrids into par 5s.
