Until you get your index under a 12 play whatever you get a deal on. If money doesn't matter play high end brands. Most high handicappers I know play a distance ball. It also may depend on the condition the course is in. Hard as a rock course choose a softer ball, etc. If you start shooting mid 70's then play a consistent ball but if you can't break 80, the ball won't make that muc

Index above 12 means mishits, which usually means playing a premium tour/high spin ball is a bad idea, so the ball certainly can make a difference. I am a terrible golfer, usually play titleist reloads. If I'm buying new I'll get something like a Bridgestone E6 - lower spinning and soft feel.

ETA: actually, I think if your consistently playing to a 15ish handicap, you'd see benefits from playing premium balls. Really just depends on swing speed, how much spin you like, and the feel.
