is therea ball at end of the string

Yes they are made for steel string acoustic guitars

What light and medium and custom light means???

Light and medium are the width of the strings. Medium strings resonate more but are harder to hold down. Light strings are easier to play but can buzz a little if played too hard. The custom strings try and give you the best of both worlds...lighter bass strings that are easier to play and thicker treble strings which resonate a little better. I like the customs myself.

Do you recommend these d'addario nickel bronze strings for strumming ? (vs d'addario phosphor bronze)

I am a strummer and I love these string. I have them on both my Taylor and my Martin. They have a rich tone whether picked, plucked, or strummed. I was one of the beta testers of these strings, sense then they are the only strings that I have used.
