do you think your golf ball brand affects the outcome of your swing or your entire golf game play?

Its nice to know that your ball will stop on the green. Prov1 all the way for me. You have to play different if you are playing a cheap ball.

Plus I manage to keep a prov in the fairway more often because I see 4 bucks flying out of bounds into some trees and it hurts my heart.

It sure does. With all the R&D that goes into developing a premium golf ball, and all the patented materials, it has to. It's like cars.... If there were no differences, we would all be driving white chevy's with a black interior.
