People should realized that they're only going to get a few more yards by playing a distance ball. And the shorter you hit it, the less the difference is going to be between a low spinning ball and a high spinning ball. But, if you are a reasonably decent chipper you'll probably shoot lower scores with the higher spinning ball.
I went through the same thing with my son who plays in the mid eighties. When he was down here he told me that he plays the cheapest balls he can find because he can't tell the difference. Once I had him hit a few short shots with one of my balls, he figured out why the balls he was playing were not good for his game. I gave him a couple dozen good balls for Christmas.
it may only affect two or three shots per round, but a decent ball will help you shoot lower scores than a $500 driver that helps you to hit it ten yards further.

will not lower your score unless you know how to utilize it's benefits. Most golfers will not benefit from them. Most can't spin a ball intentionally. Most can't figure out how to chip properly. Most can't read a green to save their lives. They do it for fun and that's the way it should be. If I give them ten different balls to hit they'll hit it ten different ways.
If they want to score lower then they need to practice properly and know why their swing does or does not do when they hit it right....or wrong.
