Do premium balls matter for high handicappers?

I lose two or three balls each round. Should I still buy premium balls for feel around the green?

Best summary so far

The forum answer was no for now. Use affordable balls until you lose fewer, then test feel and spin later.

This sounds familiar. I would keep the next step small and use one of the site tools before changing too much.

Good question. The answer depends on pace, safety, and whether the course feels fair from the tees you choose.

I tried something similar last month. Writing notes after the round helped me more than trying to fix it during play.
